OK, I've got a bit of a weird one for you all.

I'm thinking about doing a video on Turtle Soup - how it was a huge thing and has mostly disappeared. I know literally nothing else at this stage.

HOWEVER - there's a problem. I think the video will be kinda lame if nobody eats Turtle Soup. But I am allergic to eggs, which is part of many turtle soup recipes.

Does anybody wanna let me ship them some turtle soup and then videochat with me while they try it out? Or maybe film a vid on their phone? Not really sure how it'll work, but I'd then edit it into the video.

It'd be from here, the world-famous Commander's Palace: https://www.goldbelly.com/commanders-palace/turtle-soup

I used to bike by this place all the time when I lived in New Orleans. Awesome, very fancy.

(I pay for the soup, obviously. Sadly, this is only available in the USA.)

If anyone's into it, I'll track down the first response and go down the list from there. Thank you for considering!

I'd be down! Sounds like an interesting piece of history

Did not expect you to go from collecting videos of calculator stories to buying us soup. What a great Patreon! I'll volunteer as well in case you need the back up.

Anyone else? Let's see if we can get one more person, I took a look at the cheesy garlic bread and, for some reason, I want more people to try it now.

I am absolutely down! Though I’ve had the Commander’s Palace turtle soup several times so I won’t be unbiased.

I'll be backup if ya need Phil. Never had it before myself, so you'd have an additional clean palate.

Thanks everybody - I think we have enough but I'll do a more sophisticated system next time! Lottery or something. (And no, next time won't be turtle soup again, unless I pivot to an all-turtle soup channel.)

My turtle Ollie and I will be abstaining from this, thank you!

For real! And if you want to know more about Ollie Burger, Chinese Pond Turtle extraordinaire, here's a short video about him from International Turtle and Tortoise week 2023! https://youtu.be/5a0XaOdtmpM

OK, I've emailed all of you! (Except pthelo and Ollie). Check your spam because I bcced!

Phil, I know this is a small thing, but Ollie and I sincerely appreciate not getting an email for this one! xoxo

I'm happy I saw this after you got everyone you needed, because I'd be trying to figure out how to get it to Canada. It's one of the few things on my 'meats to try' list that I haven't gotten to, probably because I found out about the 'hot rocks' way to cook turtle.
