Plus the traditional French way of preparing consomme soup is complicated and time-consuming. Guess I shouldn't compare it with the cheap chinese turtle soup which I never liked anyway. Also, speculation is that the hamburger is probably made from the leftover trimmings of gibier meat used for dinner courses, hence you get a taste of the otherwise expensive gibier at a cheaper lunch course. Makes sense to me...but the idea of eating hamburger, no matter what the meat is, in a expensive French restaurant is just a little hard to accept. Probably what my friend said was right, if you go to an expensive restaurant, don't order the cheapest course. ^^;;; Oh I only found out from my friend later that Ogasawara sea turtles are endangered species…so that soup is expensive for a reason.
