ok so i went grocery shopping with my daddy at chinatown. While we went down an aisle where they have like alrdy frozen seafood and stuff.
i saw something black? [not being racist ] i started poking it.
becuz it looked weird
i asked my dad wat it was and he said
'its turtle'
and i jumped back giving a face. and a little scream 'ahh'
and my dad started laughing
So has anyone ate turtle? o_____________________o;;

it can sound very weird.
yet sad D; but i wouldnt eat it -.-
tsktsk they killed innocent turtles D;
i dont wana DARE finding pics.

SRY IF SOMEONE POST THIS D;

Ok. seriously people are complaining how I am disgusted about eating turtles.
I AM ONLY 13. AND IT IS MY FIRST TIME SEEING TURTLES OK?!
All i am asking you guys.

have you ever ate it? ETC.
stop going off topic.

Why should you be offended?
Turtle is part of a lot of culture and is consider a love making trigger.

And their not those cute little pet turtles. They are farmed rised and is a certain breed that is meant to be eaten.

I haven't tried turtle yet but I wouldn't mind either.

i thought it was chicken
i am never going to trust my dad with food again - -

hmm never seen frozen turtle in any asian supermarkets yet
i'll try looking for it next time haha

Ehh I don't think i've ever seen a turtle on sale o__o
I wouldn't have the guts to eat it ><

I have had it before, several times. It's pretty common, at least in China. It's supposed to be really goof for health and of course is pretty expensive.

my grandpa used to have buckets of turtles that were pretty big and one day they dissappeard so my cousin told me my grandpa made it into the soup i was drinking.

on the other hand, australia sells kangaroo in the supermarket, and it's cheaper than beef lol (but it tastes like goat *bleh*)

^ kangaroo meat is rank D: I remember i first had it in primary school and OMFG IT WAS LIKE.. D:

i'd never eat turtle. T_T they're too cute to eat. T_T

Nope, never tried turtle.
I remember when I was at a wholesale grocery store in Paris. They had huge chunks of meat hanging and I found out later that it was horse meat =_=

I'd be pretty fascinated to find frozen turtles in markets..o.o since I never have. Lol. I don't think I would eat it though.

happened to me too

I've never seen turtles in the supermarket where I live. I don't think I'll ever eat it. They're too cute to eat.

I don't think there's anything wrong with eating turtle. Though I think turtles are cute, and I would never eat a turtle myself, unless someone was eating it already, and since it's already been killed, then I would eat it because if I didn't then it's body would be wasted.

But anyway, I don't see why eating turtle is different from eating duck/chicken/cow. Cows are really cute and intelligent animals, you know. But people eat beef without a second thought. In other cultures it may be "messed up" to eat turtle, even dog or cat or snake, but what about cows, chickens and pigs? It's not like they're brainless animals who don't feel pain. But people gotta eat, so that's what we eat.

Though there are limits to what I'd be willing to eat. If it's a rare animal then I won't eat it/order it, unless somone else already ordered it and its been killed already, so then it wouldn't have been killed for nothing.

i have tried it bfr when i was a child. i dont know wat is that..
anyways chinese eat it alot!!!!
but now i can choose wat i eat, i will not eat it.
becos now i pet them...

OMGOSH i will never try it!~
but my mum says when she was a child she used to eat it in a soup -___-

I've never had turtle before, but I would try it. I've seen it in Chinese supermarkets before, but they're pretty expensive. All I know is that they're good for your health.

It also reminds me of this one episode of Iron Chef (the original one, not the rip off Iron Chef America... >_>), where turtle was the secret ingredient. I couldn't watch them cutting and pulling them apart.

eaten lots of time before, and they are ok

i thought turtle was chicken too. it tasted funny. it has a really weird texture, i avoid eating it at all cost.

I've never tried it and I don't want to try it either.

I see a lot of turtles whenever I go grocery shopping with my dad.
I don't know who would eat them. >< I'd be too scared. My dad says it's gewd though. o-o

THEY'RE TOO CUTE TO EAT TT___T
i went camping in turtles' nursary!
and i found that when they're baby, they're really cute
and i touched the big turtle too , yep it's growth up from the baby!
so it's hard to see they were killed and eaten!

I've never seen it before, nor have I tasted it o_o

hmm.. it really depends
i wouldnt eat a turtle

but wouldnt it just be like.. eating chicken.. or any other animal... its still a living thing..

its just we're not used to turtles... thats why

I've never tried it...

I wouldn't mind giving it a shot though

=0
dats so sad... ToT
asian ppl wud eat ANYTHING man... >.<
i dun trust ma dad w/food at ALL... he always tricks me into eating bird n stuff... o.0

I see the fresh at the asian supermarkets..
I don't wanna eat it though..

I know japanese like to eat to turtle cuz it has health and skin benefit in them, saw in this one show where this guy goes to different country and eat cultural food, I love that show! but yeah I wouldn't eat it, I almost ate a rabbit because my dad said it was chicken but since I love chicken I look closer and it was a rabbit

You recently found out humans eat turtles? O__O We eat chickens and cows, why can't we eat turtles?

You know, they eat monkeys too. They torture them and then drop them into a pot of boiling hot water or roast it.

I've never seen a frozen turtle. lol but i've seen live turtles at supermarkets... my mom uses it to make soup.. But I refuse to drink it.. >_< poor turtle

I've seen live turtles at the local chinese supermarket.
and believe me, these aint the cute little turtles you keep as pets.
Regardless though, its kinda nasty looking.

my motto is, if it looks good to eat, then its probably good to eat.
If it looks nasty, its probably going to taste nasty.

so no turtles for me

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
^ long line yesh i knu T_T

I LOVE MONKEYS
-hides my monkey teddy's eyes-
T_T poor monkeys
i wouldnt eat it.
;_____;
stupid people. killing cute monkeys.
even if they look ugly i'd still love them [=

never had it (well not that i know ;s) & i dont think i wanna try it

Never tried it, don't intend to either. I have however tried kangaroo and crocodile.

what the heck? i've never tried it or seen it before.. but i dont think i'd mind ^___^

my mom makes soft shelled turtle soup sometimes. personally, i can't EAT the turtle. but i drink the soup.

there was this store that sold frsh turtles O-o. they were little though. how do u eat them anyways? crack open their shell?

i was really disgusted when
my mom made the soup
i wouldnt drink it and eat it
but eventually, i did. i was kind
of suprised. the soup tasted good
and the turtle tasted even better
=D

-Bee.

I'm shameless. I love me some turtle soup.

i drank turtle soup. i dont know when i drink it.. my mom and grandma lie to me.

I once ate turtle + turtle soup when i was in shanghai >.>
i was like around 10/11 yrs back then
i kinda liked it XD;;;;
the taste is really good

I've never tried turtles before and didn't know people eat them, but that's... interesting I guess.

When I read the title I thought you meant the chocolates lol.

my grandma bought a turtle home once, and let it swim around in our tub (it was huge!)
but the cruuel cruel thing was how she went about *trying* to kill it
she would pour pots and pots of boiling water on it, and it would spaz every time the water hit its shell
but after that didnt work, she just went about with a machete and started to pry open its shell while it was still alive....(i had to leave the room at this point, couldnt take it)
needless to say, i refused to eat anything that night :'[

Aren't chickens, cows and pigs innocent too?
Unless you're a vegan, you shouldn't be talking.

My parents ate it when i was sitting there, i didn't want to try.
I feel sorry for them, their so cute. TT__TT.

ugh my mom tricked me when I went to China.
She said it was chicken,
and my sister knew it was turtle and didn't even say anything to me x.x

I was 6 years old.

aww :[ I would never eat a turtle! they're just too adorable, i draw them all over my notebook when bored.

I've never seen turtle at the asian markets but I know my grandpa did turn this huge turtle into soup before.
Of course I've never ate turtle. I don't eat anything that comes from lakes, rivers or oceans. (no seafood whatsoever)

maan i was ganna say "I LOVE THE CHOCOLATE!"
until i found out you meant a living turtle xD i
honestly dont mind, its just that im not use to it?
like how we are with eating chicken & that what
not xD

i think i saw them in the market before.. turtle soup taste good.

==;; What I meant was their cuteness.
Cuz I own turtles.
So it'll be very sad eatting them AND owning them as pets
