The guys around here who hunt snapping turtles would make a nice soup out of them ! Two years ago we took a cruise out of Tampa and spent a day in the Cayman islands...there was a turtle farm and accross the road a canning factory...and one of the tourists wanted to know why they raised turtles..i think the question was ignored ! |

Johnstamp right you are its a Japanese prefect stamp Z113 from 1991, the prefect stamps have a z catalog number..they are issued for different regions of Japan..something like if California issued their own postage stamps... |

Ahhh...Turtles and turtle soup. Brings back memories of 'noodling' for snapping turles in the Fox River up in Illinois. My favorite dish was just pan-fried turtle. Yup... like chicken, almost. |

Ive heard of frogs tasting like chicken (they have a town in the Philippines that specializes in cooking rice frogs) but I did not know that turtles also taste like chicken |

Yes parts of the snapper can taste like chicken..it does not have a fish taste and like chicken it has light and dark meat..the soup has a heartier taste than chicken soup..i think if they did not know what it was..many people would really enjoy it !! |
