I found the recipe here: http://www.gutenberg.org/files/13923/13923-h/13923-h.htm (old enough to be off-copyright) BillFlis 18:29, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
- is this the same as turtle soup found in Asia, e.g. Singapore... Chensiyuan 11:58, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Move to Wiki Cookbooks?
I think it's important for this article to remain in some form in the encyclopedia. In looking around the web, I've found that some people are surprised (or ignorant of the fact) that turtle soup (which is always snapper in the Philadelphia region) really contains turtle meat, and assume that all such soups are now mock turtle. Green sea turtles, from which the soup was originally made, are now a threatened or endangered species in some areas, which probably adds to the impression that turtle soup can't have turtle meat in it. Then there's the "yuck" factor! If the article gets copied (and I don't see why it shouldn't, altho a good modern recipe for American snapper soup would be a nice addition), the recipe and trivia can be removed here, but I think the definition (and ==See also== Mock turtle soup) should remain.--BillFlis 08:29, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
