I personally would never be capable of eating turtle soup. I'd feel like I'd be eating the TMNT. Is this silly?

Nah.
I don't think I'd feel like it was them, but I wouldn't be able to stop thinking this is what they might taste like, at least as soup. Noooo no thanks. I don't even want to know. Plus the emotional/mental cannibalism element since they're people, albeit fictional. (Honestly, no reptile sounds appealing to me to eat...) I'll gladly leave the turtle soup to the big time Shredder fans. Side note, I have a cousin who was the same way with not eating pork because of Porky Pig. Granted he was a kid, but still. |

Guess Burne did have a thing for turtle soup, even if it was just a mock.

Wait a minute, "Turtle Soup" is actually real, like something you can order in real life? I just assumed that was something made up for the show. Nobody in real life actually eats Turtles.

It's very much a real thing.

Yup... I didn't look farther than Google itself, but at least from the first page of results it suggested a turtle soup and a stew... or would you like some fried turtle nuggets?

Also, I saw this... https://www.history.com/news/hungry-...of-turtle-soup Quote:

You really never knew it was a real food? Geez Cubed, use your Google once in a while.

Yes, very silly. Does nostalgia for Donald Duck prevent you from eating duck?

I wonder, has anyone here actually eaten it?

Turtle soup sounds pretty disgusting to me. Then again eating frog legs, monkey brains, crickets, shark fins, and octopus sound disgusting to me too....because I don't eat exotic food. I don't know why humans try to eat every animal on the planet.
Some animals are not meant to be eaten by man, but people do it anyway. In some Asian countries they even eat dogs and cats, which is pretty repulsive. |

Keeping them as pets is what keeps me from trying turtle soup.
Well that, and knowing what turtles eat. I try not to make a habit of eating predators.

I never felt like getting one as a pet. Then again, I'm the type the person who thinks any animals aside from dog and cats would make rather boring pets.

I wonder how many stray cats end up getting indirectly poisoned from eating mice.
