What did it taste like???
I don't think I want to try it, but I am curious.

@scurry Tasted like turtle, of course.

Some claim different parts of the turtle taste like different kind of meat.

Overall, it tasted like tough beef that need a long stewing time.

@WonderWartHog99 Ha ha. Well that doesn't sound terrible, but I can think of more appetizing dishes. LOL
Thanks

@scurry >I can think of more appetizing dishes.

We'll always have tripe stew.

There's this source: "By the Revolutionary War, turtle soup figured prominently on menus and in cookbooks across the country. A large snapping turtle is said to contain seven distinct types of meat, each reminiscent of pork, chicken, beef, shrimp, veal, fish or goat."

@WonderWartHog99 I'll pass on the tripe, but very interesting info on turtle meat(s).

@scurry In the local Mexican restaurants, menudo (tripe stew) has become difficult to order. Organ meats (i.e. fresh calf liver, brains and beef heart) have vanished off the supermarket shelves.

I grew up next to the Gulf of Mexico where it was common to eat oysters raw. Now when I tell the locals I used to pry oysters off the reef, pop them open, and toss them down my gullet to die in screaming agony, they have the cold shivers. If I refer to the oysters as "sewage suckers" well . . . . .
