@RusA #9858043 I saw in east Kalimantan/Borneo island at the souvenir shop, they sell the oil of turtles, but i don't know what they do with the meat.
Turtle oil is derived from the muscles and genital tissues of sea turtles, it says right here. I doubt that it can be sold in the U.S., because sea turtles are endangered, and we can't make a proper old-fashioned turtle soup, either - we have to use land turtles for that. After extracting the oil, I'm not sure there'd be enough of the critter left over to be eaten. Looks like turtle oil is good for the skin, and can be taken internally for lung and cardiovascular health. I think I'll pass on that, though.
BTW, I spoke to my cousin in Missouri last night, and asked her what they do with the rest of the frog when they cook frog legs. She said, "Oh, you just throw it away, or use it for bait to catch fish." So there's the answer to that question from someone who knows.
BTW... How about the horse meat in USA?
Horse meat is not at all popular in the U.S. Because of our history with having horses as pets and an important means of transportation, most of us would no more eat horse meat than we would eat cats or dogs. In fact, it's illegal to sell horse meat in many states. We do have sick jokes about how questionable ground meat products might go "neigh" when you bite into them. I particularly make jokes about what Subway puts into the meatball sandwiches that I like so much. It's quite different in parts of Europe and Canada, especially in Quebec - be careful if you order a French meat-and-potato pie from Quebec! Here's an article from a newspaper in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania:
A restaurant in the Lawrenceville section of Pittsburgh served a dish containing horse tartare as part of a special event the restaurant was hosting with French Canadian chefs as guests. The restaurant, which otherwise does not serve horse meat (which is legal to serve and consume in Pennsylvania), received an inspection and a warning from the USDA not to serve horse meat again.
Another joke we make about horses is that an old, worn-out horse is "ready for the glue factory". This has to do with the old fashioned hide glue, which was made with cow hides as well as horse hides, but for some reason it's the horses we joke about. I don't know if they still make hide glue or not. It used to be widely used in the manufacture of hardback books, but those use more modern adhesives these days.
