No recipe's but I always heard if you take your finger and rub 'em behind their ears they'll crawl right out of their shell for you.

I'll rub em all right. but it'll be with a hatchet.

We used to roll it in flour, brown it good, then dump it in a roaster with cream of mushroom soup. I will try to get the exact recipe for you if I can catch of my brother.

I like my fingers. I tried cutting them off once. and it was painful then. having something knawin on it don't sound much better.
