Default What does turtle taste like?

Country folks hereabouts in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia eat
local snapping turtles and claim they have 7 different meats.

Different parts of the critter, so they claim, have different flavors
and chewing characteristics. In my experience, I've seen three, the
feet, the upper legs and neck, and the body meat. Different like pork
has different kinds of meat in different parts.

The legs taste like chicken. The rest is, well, different.
