It's a normal dish in French cuisine, too

I will admit I can eat some weird stuff and love it: fish roe in German and Japanese food, German blood sausages, New Zealand's ostrich meat, Floridian battered & fried alligator tenders with dip---butthere are a few foods I just can't ***k with:

escargot (it's the aesthetic that turns me off, they're probably good, but they look ugly )

pigs feet

chitlins' aka chitterlings/fresh, uncleaned pig intestines

turtle meat

frogs legs

horse steaks (tho' I did see obscenely priced packages of it in the fancy- frou frou mall recently)

I used to be a crazy for quail when I was young, but fowl over here in Germany most of the time is so full of feathers which you must remove yourself---one day maybe 10 years ago I purchased some, and they looked to similar to humans, and the freaking feathers stuck in them after cooking were too much like human hair, I was too through and haven't touched a quail since----though I can get down with eating quail eggs as a fancy h'ors douuvre. But turtles, something about their legs in some species are too cute and remind me of fat, cuddly human baby legs, and frog legs remind me of human supermodel legs. So I can't go there.... but it's alright...I already know.... I'm mental.

We are quietly watching a documentary now in my house and I just laughed & choked so hard on my Chai my husband is like WTF ??

I can't show him this thread though because at nearly 50, he's still pissed about the one pet turtle died when he was little

Paintedlady rocks. She can paint the Batcave any day.

Sad, but true

^^^^^ Outside of a few ab workouts, tell me this bitch don't need some pumps and a catwalk ! ^^^^^

And this hooker right here has mistaken her potential gig in a L'eggs ad campaign for a Hustler Magazine audition...just no shame whatsoever

Yes.... I know. Pray for me.

^Sitting target.

Frog legs are wonderful. They have the same texture as chicken wings, but taste like fish.

Escargot is amazing, too - especially prepared the French way with garlic, butter, and lemon, and served with croutons for sopping up the butter.

I never had turtle anything...

I would assume that the meat is forked out or something.

It's like crab, ain't it? As is.

I ate crocodile, shark or ostrich, but I refuse to eat turtles . I prefer to watch them.

One, who has a pot big enough?

Two, that's for riding like in Finding Nemo. How old is that, turtle/tortoise, 99 yrs old? I know they can get up there.

Leatherback turtles, they are really huge!

When they are born they are this size:

I guess a lot of soup could be made from that turtle....

I don't think it's that old, if I remember correct it was more the age of a teenager for a turtle
