"De spiser skilpadder."

Translation: They eat turtles.

[JDLENL]

De er monstre.

[Unbedingt]

Du har rett. :(

[AndreyCM2]

Why? What is the difference in eating turtles or cows?

[ZoltanDamo]

Turtles are endangered

[FanddenRidder]

But the livestock is the main reason of extinction of a lot of other species.

[Rob396024]

Turtles are smaller and have shells. that's the primary difference

[NattKullav1]

Krokodiller eter skilpadder. De er dyr, ikke uhyrer.

[brendolinif]

Jeg har ikke regret

[feeble_weakling]

Jeg liker skilpadder.

[PierreG]

In Denmark, and maybe in the other Scandinavian countries, Skilpadder are chocolate candies http://shop.toms.dk/Produkter-1.aspx?ProductID=PROD110 SO maybe this is the reason we have such a sentence !

[olletho]

turtles had a rather infectious ad campaign in Canada when I was a kid.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtles_(chocolate)

But most commonly made by Nestle so possibly also evil.

[mrlimey]

Not the turtles!

[BonsaiBaobab]

awful, awful people

[coolcats4]

I totally agree!!

[Caroline-G.]

They might be the chocolate turtles...

[Ondtogviltonsket]

Funny, how horrified the people can be about those who eat turtles, dogs, 'mice', snakes, etc. but they think it's extremely normal devour cows. In some places the people eat whales meat, what's the deal... ? To my mind is the same... !

[kosmocherry]

And Koreans eat dogs and cats and no one ever gets after them

[April623004]

No one keeps a whale or cow as a pet so anthropomorphism doesnt apply to them, therefore its not considered taboo to eat them. It is considered taboo to eat a pet animal like the ones you mentioned. Hope that helps :)

[Elledhwen]

Is there a difference between "turtle" and "tortoise" in Norwegian?

[kosmocherry]

No, for some reason even though they are different animals, they are both "skilpadde"

[RabidCadaver]

Tonight i dine on turtle soup

[Shizumi1]

NOOOO!!!! D:

[NorskSpiller]

They are candies you silly english speakers XD.

[Marie852846]

Dude in Australia the candies are frogs

[Featherbreeze03]

I know someone who ate chocolate-covered grasshoppers from Australia.

[Caroline-G.]

I've seen cockroches in the center of lollipops IN THE US!!!

[jbolliger_vafud]

Must be chinese

[GeoffreyCa301149]

De is sounding a lot like "di."

[JoshMiller220305]

Turtle is actually pretty tastey. Makes a good stew.

[DhanuRadha5]

Even I have eaten turtle meat once! * hi 5*

[halvblods_prins]

It's not strange when you watch "Babette's Feast" (Babettes gæstebud) - a danish movie where Babette cooks a turtle soup :D

[Marie852846]

Mock turtle soup...mmmm

[JEGamIkkeB]

I ate frog...it tasted like chicken, or any other unseasoned meat...

[Caroline-G.]

My brother has a friend who ate ants and said the tasted "like little sausages". Ew, whatever.

[PedroMotta959875]

Shredder elsker skilpadder-suppen

[Fennecrev]

Why is the translation for this "they eat shell -pads"

[YeetoMcNeato04]

I'm no Norwegian expert but I guess they named them shell-pads because they have shells...?

[SynergyForge]

[Ctougas01]

At the Galapagos islands? Yeah they did
