You Let Me Know How That Tastes.

How many folks out there know what a Mock Turtle is? Any Lewis Caroll fans? The Mock Turtle is fictional animal from Alice's adventures through wonderland...

Well, how many of you have heard of Mock Turtle Soup? (Something I discovered at work today.) Mock Turtle Soup actually has 0% Mock Turtle in the actual recipe. Odd? It is 'traditionally' made by boiling a calf's head in water. Eventually you take out the head of the calf and slice off the meat, which is then added to the broth before serving. Sometimes the actual calf's brain can be used as a garnish....

Does Campbell's know about this? Is there a Chunky's version?
Hm, all of the sudden I wouldn't mind a finger in my chili...
