In retrospect I wish I had never started. Hopefully the essences of the

I don't know that I ever "liked" it. It was just more-or-less a counter
culture social ritual at that time
Much like when out "olds" did alcohol during "Prohibition" (in Canadia
1918 to 1920 - Amerika 1917 to 1932) Drinking was called "Striking a

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
Title: Redneck Turtle Burgers
Categories: Beef, Cheese, Pork, Breads
Yield: 4 Servings
1 lb Ground beef
12 All-beef wieners; halved,
- lenghtwise for a total of
- 24 halves
4 sl Sharp cheddar cheese
1 lb Bacon
Aluminum foil
4 Hamburger buns
Condiments for burgers
Set oven @ 400°F/205°C.
Make four good-sized hamburger patties, nice and round
and thick. Top w/single slice of sharp cheddar cheese.
Wrap each beef patty in bacon strips, making a basket
weave as you go. Cover entire burger.
Next, take the hot dog halves and make turtles' legs,
head and tail. Cut the one for the tail at a diagonal on
the end, so the tail looks "pointed". In the legs, put a
few tiny 'slits' in the ends, so they will look like
feet w/ claws after they bake.
Line a baking sheet (with sides on it!) with foil, and
place a baking rack over the foil. Arrange your
"turtles" on the baking rack.
Cook for 30 - 40 minutes in your heated oven. A little
crispy, not too crunchy ... just the way a turtle ought
to be, right?
