It was sunny today. My cousin was celebrating his birthday and hosting a get-together at a restaurant. Everything was normal until the waitress served us an unusual dish—turtle soup. It was completely new to me. I’m not picky about food, but I have to admit, I never expected to see a turtle cut in half on the dinner table.
That said, the soup itself didn’t taste unusual. I wouldn’t have known what it was if I hadn’t seen the remains. Mom seemed amazed, but I think it was just a psychological effect. People love ordering bizarre food on special occasions.
