Answers: Only the kind with caramel and pecans. ;)

I never tried turtle plain but turtle soup is good.

eeew!

Nope, never had a turtle. Chocalate turtles are good, but I don't think I would eat a real one!

I don't really know. I have had turtle soup but it was a clear broth and strong like ox tail soup. I had a feeling there was as much turtle in the soup as there was ox tail in ox tail soup.

I think very many years ago turtle was used but no longer.

My Dad was a cook in the Navy in WWII, and he would cook anything that lived in water. I ate turtle once and did not like it, as I had pet turtles at that time. I would not eat it now. Turtles are such nice animals -- even the snapping ones. Eat something else!

yes, i thought it was pretty good, but it made me wanna become a vegetarian after i ate it.

As a chef I worked in Jamaica and both turtle meat and the large shell you buy from the conch are sold and used in various dishes there, it is a strong meat and like conch and squid/octopus, you either cook it fast and crispy or long and slow to make it tender, we got alot of our turtle meat from the Barbados, they farm the Green Sea type they also farmed our conch.

It looks like a thin watery steak sort of greeny yellow, and like some have said most is known to be in soups, we did it also, but a bit more of a Caribbean version.

In fact when I first started as a chef, out we used to get small tins of soup from Germany, and we had little specialize turtle soup cups like a kids tea set, with a picture of a turtle on the bowl, you opened it diluted it with a small amount of broth a sweet sherry heated it and served it in the special cups, we charged back in the late 70's early 80's $5.00 Can for one bowl/cup, they still do eat a terripn type in the US east coast area around the southern section, they make stews with it and it alos appears in a traditional "Burgoo" from the area.

Taste wise it is like a piece of pork fat or unsmoked bacon with a bit of a mariney flavour.
