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]
