Turtle Mull

The mull is short for mulligan as in stew and no, this isn't

 a recipe, although you can Google them pretty easily. Most of my posts regarding turtles are less than widely received. But this one is different enough to garner some attention, I hope. Turtle Mull caught my attention when I was reading the paper the other day. A turtle named Zip is in danger of becoming a main ingredient for it since he slipped away from his owners in Northeast Georgia. Zip pushed apart some fortified hog panel fencing and made his escape into a 1,000 acre tract of woods behind his home. His owners have put up flyers and hoping for the safe return of this rather large yet endearing family pet before the weather gets cold and negatively impacts Zip’s survival chances.

Zip’s a 50 pound Saharan Desert turtle (African Spurred Tortoise) or possibly the consummate part of a large batch of turtle consommé, one or the other.
