I grew up in a fishing family in eastern KS so learned to eat a variety of fish, including eel. Don't recall ever having turtle but it was probably on the table at some point in time. I'm a bit more picky about what I eat now!!!

Once, quite a while ago, some friends invited me to dinner.
It was their chinese mom's birthday and she cooked!
Somehow, I ended up by being given "the special treat"
of two cooked red rooster combs on a saucer. So, not to offend anybody, I carefully cut them into the tiniest pieces possible and swallowed the bits whole. They were tough but completely tasteless so it was not a bad experience.
But, when I lived in Jackson Miss, one of the grocery stores sold chicken feet at their meat counter...and I think they were peeled. The only thing I can think is- that they became soup?

I've never had turtle, and no plans to, but this remeinds me of something that happened 20 or so years ago. I was driving along a country road that followed a creek, well, crick here. I had to stop because there was a big snapping turtle in the middle of the road. A gal that I knew only by face, stopped behind me, got out of her car, and asked me if I minded if she took him for soup LOL. I guess out here it's finders keepers, but since I technically found him I just gave him to her.
