The Cayman Islands
Location: 480 miles south of Miami
Weather: It's nice out
History: When Columbus first blundered upon the Cayman Islands they
were still inhabited by Carib cannibals and marine crocodiles. It was a toss-up as
to which group would try to eat you first. Things have improved dramatically since then.
Years later, after the cannibals were gone, the islands became famous for their
delicious turtles. Sir Francis Drake used to stop by to load up barrels of salted
turtles to feed his crew. But there's a better way to eat them:
Cayman Turtle Cordon Bleu
Ingredients:
1/2 lb tenderized turtle
Cheese (Whatever's handy)
Ham
Two beaten eggs
Cracker meal or bread crumbs
Salt, pepper, garlic powder
One bottle of cold imported beer
Directions
1-) Open the bottle of beer. Drink some.
2-) Sprinkle turtle with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Put two slices of ham and one
slice of cheese on then turtle and fold it over so the ham and cheese are inside. Put
another slice of cheese on top. Dip the whole thing in the beaten eggs and roll it in the
cracker meal. Deep fry for 2 minutes or until brown.
3-) Finish the beer while you're waiting.
