I had Guiso de Tortuga, Turtle Soup, for lunch today. Guisos are sort of a stew/soup hybrid, made with a base of corn masa and in the case of this particular soup, bread as well. Turtle tastes like chicken. Kind of. It was very stringy, very fatty meat. So the white meat tasted like stringier chicken. But there were dark meat chunks of it that had a rich, almost mushroomy flavor with an aftertaste of something earthy. Overall, the guiso had a hint of something gamey to it, like venison or sausage. Not sure how I feel about this particular food, but it definitely was something new.
