Iuscellum falsae testudinis
.jpg)
Iuscellum falsae testudinis,[1] Anglice mock turtle et mock turtle soup, Theodisce mockturtle, est ferculum artis culinariae Britannicae et Hannoverianae e capite vitulino confectum ut pretiosum iuscellum Cheloniae mydae verum imitetur.
Iam a saeculo XVIII exeunte tabernae pistoriae Londinienses iuscellum falsae testudinis emptoribus offerebant ut cum pane sorberetur,[2] quod Gulielmus Makepeace Thackeray mythistoricus locutione grandiloqua the fragrant potage that mocks the turtle's flavor nuncupavit ("potagium fragrans quod sapori testudinis illudit").[3] E nominis ambiguitate Ludovicus Carroll in opere phantastico Alice's Adventures in Wonderland creaturam quandam mock turtle ("falsam testudinem") finxit: quam pictor Ioannes Tenniel, praecepto culinario ductus, capite pedibusque et cauda vituli ornavit.[4]
