I'm 65, my grandfather (pawpaw) was from Alexandria, Louisiana. Turtle was his favorite. As a kid, he took me places, in a boat, where I didn't know enough French to be allowed. He passed about 25 years ago. Thanks for the memories.

Man I would love to hang out and eat the food you whip up Jeff.

The last, and only, time I’ve had turtle with gravy and biscuits was in 1988 in Espanola, Ontario Canada. We were up there bear hunting and there were some good old boys from Tennessee who’d pulled their bass boats all the way up there. They got this MONSTER snapping turtle out of the lake, cleaned it up, and fed the whole hunting camp for days!

Jeff you are a country cooking genius. That clean and cook video was great.

My mouth started watering when you plated that up. Preciate ya sharing that recipe.

You are such a great cook Jeff!

Those slow-motion effects had my mouth watering!!! 🤤🐢

Man I growed up over here to East of y'all and we would catch something in the woods are the creek and grandma would make it tastes better than any thing you can buy at the store God Bless Y'all and keep showing people how to live in hard times

That looks really good. My grandma used to batter and fry turtle like chicken. I wish I had her recipe.

I love everything about this video. Its got great cinematography. When I hear biscuits and gravy I automatically think of a white gravy, but that looked so good. Also Iv never thought of making a gravy like that.

Hey Jeff, That looked delicious. Pretty much like everything you do, perfect. You are the man. Take care and be safe.

I never had turtle in any fashion, but wow Jeff...that looks really DELICIOUS.

Jeff, you had my taste buds with just the biscuits and gravy, even without the turtle. That gravy looked just too good. Preciate ya all Jeff.

Awesome man, keep showing the world a way of life only a few of us know any more!!❤

Been trying to figure out what to do with the snapping turtles I’ve been catching and now I know. Appreciate it.

My goodness! That looks scrumptious!😋😋😋

I would love to try your Southern cooking, that snapping turtle looked good

That's one way I've never tried. Looks frickin amazing!!

I am a native Montanan that used to live in Florida. Gigging frogs was a hoot. If you have them in south Bama, a vid on that would be fun. Perhaps Merle could help out. I sure do like that little guy!

I grew up juggin and running trout lines catching snapping turtles. That’s some good eatin right there! 🤠

Wow That looks beautiful and tasty jeff! Enjoy your meal sir. 👌👌👏👏

Looks delicious. I love to try turtle😊

That looks fantastic.

Good God! That looks so good!

I caught a snapping turtle today. I wish that I would have saw this video before I let him go. Looks delicious.

I never ate turtle. It looks interesting and your cooking and recipe sounds great. All I can say is I'd try some and probably like it. Papa Bob in MO.

Love it! If I may critique the roux, do it in the oven in a cake pan and stir occasionally until you reach the color you are looking to achieve. You eliminate direct stove heat and it comes out perfect every time. No need to stay on it.

That looks awesome, It always comes out tough no matter what I try

Looks good!

Awesome cook ☝️👍🏻👍🏻

Awesome. I remember.

that looks amazing, we fried it like chicken, milk gravy, and had cornbread dredged in sorghum for desert. I will try your way, looks like some count.

One of my favorite meals 😋

Doesn't get any fresher and I think I've seen you do this before looks yummy delicious 😉👌🐝

I will have to try that.

That looks amazing thanks for posting the video Jeff

Have not had turtle in FOREVER. Do remember it was delicious.

Mmm looks great 👍👍👍👍👍

Looks delicious

Looks good. I have had soft shell Turtle before but never had snapping Turtle. I bet it's good.

Years ago, I was fishing a river with my boss from work when I noticed a snapping turtle the size of a golf ball swimming the surface. He wanted to pick it up thinking it was cute and I warned him. I've helped harvest fully grown snappers and I know even the babies will attack if you get too close. He picked it out of the water making sure to stay away from its mouth and that tiny little turtle was determined to take a finger off. When you catch a big one you want to eat, you purge it for a week before dispatch and then get it to bite a stick to make it easier and safer to decapitate. Its head will be dangerous for maybe days. It will still bite you. Same with a northern pike. Even after you chop it up, it could still bite. Crazy.

Looks good

I love turtle. I just use cornmeal and fry it. Delicious.

Mouthwatering!

That sure looks good.Wish I hadn’t watched the video in late afternoon, now I’m really hungry.

Extra gravy… please That looks amazing

Snapping turtle is sooo good. It's almost like pork ribs. We did it on the smoker.

Good stuff man!

Ima try it

Jeff, enough with the production Friend. You got all of us fans and followers just being you, setting a phone on a stump, and talking to all of us through what you're doing. Add in some family every now and then and it's a win. These overproduced videos with jump cuts and bad audio are unnecessary. Bless y'all.

I'm from Vietnam. Hello my friend 🤙❤

Wow

My Dad gave my wife his recipe and it is delicious

As the youngsters nowadays would say “That is sick” 😂 Jeff, in all seriousness, that really looks amazing….🐢

Holy Moly 👌👌🙂

No disrespect, but it seems in the south, if it moves, its edible.

😮 I have never eaten turtle!

Looks tasty. Serving on a paper plate tops it off.

Good eats!

That looks good enough to eat... and have seconds!!

Looks like the catfish did a number on your arm Jeff. You need your own restaurant 💪

Having parents that came from the country and didn't have much they made it on what they had. Like fish, turtles, birds etc . kids these days have to have McDonald's etc to live. I love turtles, deer, squirrels, raccoons, fish and I could look in ve off the land. I don't need steaks, chickens ect. from no store. You can even get your vegetables of the free land God gave us not man💯💯💯💯💯💯👍🏾

👍

Damn that looks real good, to bad there are no snapping turtles here.

Oh may😋😋

I see you use your folding knife along, what is it?

Diets high in turtle yummy

👍❤️👍❤️👍

Soft shell is yummy

😋😋😋😋

Never had it that way I figured it would still be tough? I always bake them

can anyone tell me what the texture is like of a snapping turtle? I've eaten sea turtle before and it's texture is like steak but tastes like seafood with a salty taste of the ocean I'm wondering if they are the same.

How many days of work you want to trade for a bowl of that ??

In the words of Rick Flair ……..WOOOOOOOOOO😎😎😎😎

Jeff,Did you purge the turtle for a couple days.

What does turtle taste like ?

I aint had turtle im long time sho wished i could have some

Hey Jeff I like my turtle gravy thicker kinda like a good matter gravy

STRAIT TO THE POINT LOOKN GOOD BRUTHA

Jeff the Dixie chef👌

😮

I'm 59 and have never heard of browning flour, what's the purpose?

Hannah is going to be lonely when Martha Stewart comes and gets you Jeff 🤣

Brother, you get guns that big from lifting catfish where do I sign up?

Dang jeff.you're tougher than a $2 steak !!!😃

Whop biscuits !

Love Hannah

Thum😂 up but it's hard for me to pay attention with catfish bites on your right arm LOL😂

The brown gravy is good but the gumbo would have been better. Thanks for the video 👍🏻

Jeff, Beware of cooking on nonstick stuff, cancer, plus plastic on hot pots= eating melted plastic. Cast iron for me. Good video!

😳

That does look delicious, Jeff

You know the barron family eats good a little surprised theres no cast iron pans in action?

crazy how so many do not know that brown grave is really over cooked white grave ...LOL my grandma did it prefect every time I'm about 70% of the time can get it just right ...its always good but when it just right it is amazing

What? Brown gravy is not over cooked white gravy...there are numerous ways and flavors to make gravy.

I put my turtle in the bathtub for 3 days, boil it for 8 hours,brown it in flour for 4 hours. Put it in a crock pot for 10 hours. Let it rest for a day. Back in the crockpot for 4 more hours. In between all this im out catching channel cats and bluegills after eating those i forget all about that turtle. Love you brother. Just joking.
