if you are like me and have a pet turtle and haven’t gone shopping for groceries since parsnips were in season, this recipe for turtle (from the indian ocean island of mauritius) may come in handy:

Skewered Turtle Meat

Marinate 1-inch cubes of turtle meat in lemon juice, salt, crushed garlic, and a little oil. Alternate on skewers with pieces of turtle liver and grill over charcoal. Serve with boiled turtle eggs, a hot chutney sauce, and rice.

disclaimer: i did not actually eat this recipe. i don’t really like rice, so i served the turtle meat on toast points instead.
