We got a delivery menu through the mail today for a local sandwich shop, which in itself isn’t so special (happens all the time), but check out their mascot/logo/whatever you want to call it: a photoshop of a literal deep-fried turtle sandwich (at least, one assumes it’s photoshopped). I had to laugh, because I’m pretty sure this is an image that would never, ever end up on menu in the United States (or do I have Romantic Memory Syndrome?). Anyway, I thought I’d share. Incidentally, we ordered some sandwiches from this place for lunch, and they were great. Nothing turtley about them. In fact, we were speculating as to why they’d choose a turtle for their logo, and we got nothin’. I thought maybe there was a Turkish play on words that I wasn’t getting, something about “turtle” and “sandwich” sounding alike in Turkish or something, but Emirhan says no, he can’t think of any language trick that would explain this. So there you go— the mysteries of life.
Eew.
Eew.
@Kristiano: Yeah, that’s what we said, yet we felt a strange compulsion to order. Maybe there’s something subliminal going on there.

Maybe you should order the deepfried turtle sandwich from them and give us a report? Dunno, that’s what I’d be wondering about if I never tried it…

@Vivian: I’m sure it is – having said that, as a vegetarian would you be any less grossed out by something “normal” like a chicken sandwich?
