Why did Tiffany get so mad??

this question has plagued me since i first saw "Return of the Shredder" why does Tifiany dump Burne's Mock turtle soup over his head and call him a "nasty oild turtle lover"? is i cause he ordered turtle soup in the first place or that it was "mock" turtle soup, thus no turtles were harmed in the making of this soup? I need answeres first 10 get a "hey, good goin".
On an off note, is turtle soup any good, and would a tmnt fan even think to try it.
Any one interested in the "darkness on the edge of town" dvd that comes with some figs...i have 2 spares...pm me

If it's mock turtle soup, that means that no Turtles were harmed in the making of this dish.

SOOOO... by ordering Mock turtle soup, Burnes inadvertantly saved a bunch of turtles for being shelled and killed for a disgusting broth.... Since he saved a bunch of turtles, and his arm candy Tiffany dispised them, she dumped the soup on his head, as a result of him saving more icky turtles....

That's my take on it, anyway.

My thinking was that she was an idiot (literally) who hated Turtles, so hearing that he had ordered Turtle Soup (mock or not) made her think he was a turtle lover, so she dumped him and his soup, literally.

Funny how she dumped him in that ep, the first ep she's ever shown in. Cuz once or twice they showed her again and she was still dating him. Guess she couldn't keep herself away, dunno why!

Oooohhh, so that's what Mock Turtle Soup means.

LOL! I always got a kick out of that part. Never thought to put any thought into it. After all, with a woman like Tiffany, asking the question, "What was she thinking?" will often get the answer "Nothing."

I've never had turtle soup, but I do plan on trying it one day if I get the chance. As in if a friend orders it, I'll try, or if I get to simply sample it. But I hear it's got a strange texture to it.

You'd actually consider eating a poor wittle turtle? *sniffle* I feel cold...

I'd eat human meat before I'd eat a turtle.

Off topic, but I know of a place where you can order a Quiche with minced Alligator in it..

YEEEEECKKKK!!!!

I'd never eat ANBY kind of Lizard or Amphibian. First off... it's disgusting, and second of all, Lizards are my favorite animals.

Confidentially, I don't eat duck either.

Easy answer:

She is an idiot that uses her beauty to spread her anti-turtle propaganda using idiots(Burne) who would actually fall for her b***s***.

Cartoon answer:

Well it's just a cartoon and she is just filler for the episode.

She probably just hated turtles so much that the idea of Burne liking the taste of turtle - real or otherwise - makes her angry. She doesn't want to have anything to do with turtles whatsoever. When Burne says the word "turtle", Tiffany thinks of how much she hates them, like how they killed her father or stole her high school sweetheart or whatever. She's just a dumb blonde who hates turtles for some stupid reason and doesn't want to have anything to do with them.

I have never had turtle soup either, but I'm willing to try anything once. I've never even been anywhere that has had it on the menu. Where do you go to find such a dish?

I actually wouldn't eat turtle soup for a few reasons. But I wouldn't eat it mainly because that many of them are an endangered species. Many turtles are illegally taken and killed to supply the black market. Here is some interesting reading on this:

A Black Week for Sea Turtles

http://www.tierramerica.net/english/...iacentos.shtml

excerpt:

"The number of turtles killed each year to supply the black market in Mexico and the United States reaches 35,000"

"But the rise in demand for the turtle's meat and eggs, and the production of luxury items made from its leather, shell and oil, contributed to pushing the species into the endangered category. "

This is interesting:

Consumption of turtle meat reaches its peak during Lent, which is why "we appeal to the ecological conscience of the Vatican, because the Church hierarchy could contribute a great deal towards disseminating the notion of respect for animal life,"
