But apparently, later in the course we find out that we eat ants, much to our parents' disapproval lol

You'd say "sköldpaddskött".
And considering it's just a matter of culture which animals are considered food and which ones aren't, yes.

That's the way sköldpadda is inflected :) In most cases nouns ending with a get or as plural ending.

I thought "turtles" in Swedish was "skoldpaddorna"? Do I use that in different context?

I always chunk it out so it would be "I eat not turtles" which would be in English "I do not eat turtles" so.. yeah.

Swedish does not use that construction but puts 'inte' after the verb
