Was "turtle" someone's name or nickname or other method of referring to someone?

Was the person he ate his kid?
Was the person he ate his spouse?
Was the person he ate one of his parents?

I should just say he shot himself because he ate his spouse/kid.

Is understanding the significance of "turtle" really important to solving this riddle?

Is understanding who the person he ate with significant to solving this riddle?

Is the person he ate with a family member?
Is the person he ate with responsible for the death of the spouse/kid?

Does "turtle" have an significance with the person he ate with?

Can I assume the only people involved in this riddle are the person who shot themself, the person in the soup, and the person he ate with?

Was the person he ate with aware that the soup was made with a human?
Did the person he ate with make the soup unaware there was human meat in it?

yes
no

the following HINT is to better explain my previous post:
there were two soups

Hooman · « **Reply #87 on:** December 04, 2005, 10:53:04 PM »

Is the "shore-side restaurant" important?

Hmm. How to deal with the two soup problem.

Did the person he ate with make the soup with the human in it?
Did the person he ate with make the other soup?

Did the person who shot himself make the soup with a kid/spouse in it?
Did the person who shot himself make the other soup?

Was the soup with the kid/spouse in it made at the restaurant?
Was the other soup made at the restaurant?

Were the two soups mixed together?
Did he eat the kid/spouse soup first?
Did he eat the other soup first?

Wait a minute. He shot himself after taknig one bite. But he ate both soups, and ate the kid/spouse soup first. Hmm....

Did he eat the other soup on this occasion?

Hooman · « **Reply #95 on:** December 04, 2005, 11:08:32 PM »

Did he eat the kid/spouse soup, then eat the other soup, and then shoot himself?

CK9 · « **Reply #96 on:** December 04, 2005, 11:08:56 PM »

yes, you seem to want to dwell on this one particular aspect

Hooman · « **Reply #97 on:** December 04, 2005, 11:15:06 PM »

Well, it's just really odd since you said he took one bite and then shot himself. But to have eaten both soups, which were mixed together seems a bit odd. How can he do that while only taking one bite of soup? I just don't get it. I'm just wondering if the riddle is phrased correctly.

Did he realize what he was eating when he ate the kid/spouse soup?
Did he realize he ate kid/spouse soup when he ate the other soup?

Hmm, still gotta figure out the other person.

Did the man shoot himself out of guilt?
Did the man shoot himself to save someone else?

Would you say the man he ate with was a "bad" person?

CK9 · « **Reply #98 on:** December 04, 2005, 11:19:09 PM »

no, I said they weren't mixed together, and I only mentioned the second soup in the question.
no
yes
yes
no
no, I wouldn't say that, but some people frown upon what he is

Hooman · « **Reply #99 on:** December 04, 2005, 11:27:40 PM »

Oh typo. I meant to say two soups that weren't mixed together. Which is why I'm confused about the whole deal with taking one bite and shooting himself.

Ok, so the man ate his kid/spouse in soup form. Then later ate the other soup and realized what the first soup had been. Then he shot himself out of guilt.

Is that correct?

Is the significance of the shore-side restaurant that they have turtle soup for sale?
Is there other significance to the restaurant?

Is the man he ate with the grim reaper?
