Snapper is far and above, the absolute most expensive meal a man can have.

While a great dinner will cost an arm and a leg, Snapper can cost a house and a car.

I knew a local old farmer (I used to bang his Bernie Sander's loving step-daughter) who made snapping turtle soup. He died about 5-6 years ago, was in his late-80s. He was an old-timer, never finished school, but knew all about the important things in life.

He had hundreds of one-liners floating around in his head (not all clean) and could spit them out at the drop of a hat. He was a great wit, also a very good artist, a talent he was born with. All of us locals miss him.

But I was never in the right place at the right time to try the soup. So, I've never had turtle soup.

I made a nice $um selling Snapper back in the day, and scored a kick-ass coffee mug.

Well @Bill . . . WTF?

Nobody else has bid on it, going once . . . going twice . . . so it looks like it's yours!

We expect a thread with videos once you get possession of it and take it on a trial run. Maybe consider a supercharger in the future . . . ?

I spent all my money on the last two coffee mugs. I'm tapped out until I can get my aluminum cans to the scrap metal yard.

:A juicy snapper has always been a favorite of mine….very good eating. Your face looks like a glazed doughnut when you’re done!
