Hello all...

The recent posts on a 'calorie counter' reminded me; I've been searching
for a (free) calorie counter program that will give the nutritional data on
'Snapper Soup'. This is the rich, thick, brown gravy-like soup made from
turtle meat, and usually served accompanied by sherry wine. All I've found
was a variety of different bean soups, or soups made from Red Snapper fish.

Does anyone have ideas to find a calorie, nutritional program that will
give me the info I want?

TIA,

Hal

Not a program but www.calorieking.com has nutritional contents for just
about anything you can think of. Here's their listing for "turtle,
cooked":

It's also called Turtle Soup, and this recipe lists the nutritional
values:
<http://www.shreveporttimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20051207/LIVING0405/512070305/1004>.
Use IE to view it - it doesn't look too nice in Firefox.

BTW, I wouldn't trust any nutritional information that lists 0 gms of
cholesterol for an animal product that hasn't been chemically torn
apart. (Milk fractions can be cholesterol-free, turtle meat usually
isn't.)

Aren't most turtles on the endangered species list?

This may not sound terribly coherent but: coming across your post
regarding snapper soup reminded me of how the internet can be like an
"Alice in Wonderland" kind of experience.

mirthful, y'know?

Obviously, there's been a translation problem. I submit that the recipe
is actually for "mock turtle soup." Mock turtles, being vegetarian, have
no cholesterol.

I suppose - if you make mock turtle soup out of mock turtles. The
recipes I usually see call for using beef instead of turtle, though.
(Mock turtle and mock duck are chromatically variant equines, to
torture a phrase.)

I'm sorry. I should have been clearer. My recipe is actually for
"Virtual Mock Turtle Soup." The heart of this recipe is not "Mock
Turtles," But "Virtual Mock Turtles."

In fact, all the ingredients are virtual, including the water. Thus, it
is extremely healthy, having no cholesterol, no calories, and no
allergens of any kind.

I store the recipe in virtual memory on a virtual hard drive: not only a
splendid form of data storage, but also the ultimate form of encription.

Some may think that this is a vapor recipe, but I say that it's the
perfect virtual food for a software newsgroup.

Then just make sure you get low cholesterol pixels.
