The terrible habit of eating cake tortoise at Easter, a traditional image has been truly appalling. The Morrocoy (Goechelonia Carbonaria) is a sweet pet gently convivia in caracas old playgrounds of yesterday with the other animals and plants in the garden city dweller, is quiet and stealthy and yet is able to develop friendly ties with people in the house. My brother had a pair of tortoises at home that came out of the humidity in your den, they heard only the music and placed very close to the horns, staying there for hours until we ran out the sound.
In this Easter season, there is a tradition deeply rooted in the eastern and Venezuelan plains MORROCOY eat CAKE. Eastern
As good family in my house ate this dish in the Week. It is indeed a dish very bland flavor when ripe banana and ate a few pieces could be found in black leather with yellow flakes or truly obnoxious orange under the skin of the poor animal slaughtered. This happened during my childhood on several occasions.
Years passed and as a man, returning to Venezuela, I got a turtle and some older cousins \u200b\u200band very Eastern in its customs were offered to make a cake with that animal. I had no idea how was the thing, but after watching the ordeal, took away the desire to eat cake for the rest of my life.
As you prepare the cake morrocoy:
1 .- grabs the animal and was turned on its side
2 .- With an ax or chainsaw, it opens the shell, which bleeds the sides profusamenrte
3. - Start the animal from the rest of carapace, causing more bleeding
4 .- The bloody mess, where there are 4 black ducklings that move and a mouth constantly open, it launches into a pot of boiling water
5 .- The animal tried to swim in this water uselessly boiling during the first 30 minutes (amazingly the tortoise does not die until then, but has no vocal cords to scream people interpret it as no pain)
6 .- Once the animal kicks no more, left for several hours of cooking and add whatever you want and eat the delicacy, accompanied by a large amount of rum or beer consumed while waiting
So celebrate this "traditional practice" of Holy Week in our country.
In my house after seeing this show is not to eat the famous studded turtle and my mom "great Disposer" does the same, but changing the tortoise for meatloaf and is exquisite. Overall the tortoise does not know anything, it's like chayote, know what you put.
is that after this reading does not happen to them tortoise eat cake anymore and this is my contribution to the preservation of this beautiful and gentle creature of our plains and silent partner of many houses Venezuelan
