Turtle Soup

This weekend Hopkins hosted the D-House Gala, which was really lovely (it combined a celebration of local religious art and an opportunity to get to know the Dominicans better)! Bro. OP dished up beef wellington, which was very good, but the culinary highlight for me was the turtle soup. One of the brothers, who is from New Orleans, claimed that it's debated whether turtles are seafood of not! This question had never occurred to me before (although I did try to convince Carrot, who is a vegetarian, that turtles are vegetables). It was delicious; plus, I had never eaten turtle before, and I love trying new things (as Myrna specified, legal new things).
