Answer 1

I GUESS THEY ARE EATEN IN SOME COUNTRIES

To persuade Mexican men not to illegally consume turtles' eggs which they believe to be aphrodisiacs, the California-based group Wildcoast has launched an ad campaign featuring models with bulging b*****s with the headline, "My man does not need turtle eggs because he knows they don't make him more potent." Unfortunately, few women are as hot as those found in models and, correctly or incorrectly, some men may feel the need for a little boost with sexual arousal.

Answer 2

Well if you add i pepper, salt, sugar, butter, eggs, bacon, sausage, chicken, turkey....it wuld still taste bad.

Answer 3

Most shelled vertebrate eggs are made up of the same basic nutrients in similar proportions. They should taste like a bird egg of the same size, more or less.

Healthy? That would depend on what got into them- if they are cracked, they are almost certainly infected.
