Now, personally, I wouldn't eat one unless I was starvin' like Marvin.
I don't care if they DO, taste like chicken.
Great answers Everyone,,,I too, have never eaten a turtle.
I resolved several years ago, that I would NEVER eat anything that can be run over and killed with my truck.
I'm not against hunting (I'm too lazy), but honestly, a hamburger is easier to "hunt" than a deer in the woods.

No, I've never eaten a turtle. My dad liked them but I refused to even taste it. My son eats rattlesnake but not me. We live in rattlesnake country. Texas has a rattlesnake roundup every March and makes a fiesta of it, like a holiday. They have a big demonstration on how to handle a live one. Then they have a big rattlesnake cook-off. My son participates every year in catching and the cooking. He always brings me some. I always refuse.

I once hooked a snapping turtle - approx. 12 lbs - he got the fish bait & got snagged in the process. I cut him loose since I did not know how to cook turtle. I have had turtle soup and it was done excellently. I would eat it again.

No never did and won't Turtle soup is a Cherokee recipe, had a neighbor in Missouri who made it. One less snapping turtle in the world to eat my fish on the stringer is a wonderful thing. My friend and her husband once stayed at a friend's farm for a weekend to shoot turtles on the farm pond. They were biting the faces of young calves drinking from the pond and killing them.
