Alice in Wonderland and the Gilmore Girls

I realized the other day that I have never read Alice in Wonderland, not even when I was a kid. However, I’ve always seen tons of adaptations of it. Plus, it really answered an age old Gilmore question for me, “What is mock turtle soup?”

In The Reigning Lorelai episode Richard keeps talking about turtleneck soup which then Sookie suggests is actually mock turtle soup. The only problem here is that I don’t know what that is either. Here is the corresponding quote from Alice in Wonderland if anyone else is wondering.

“No” said Alice, “I don’t even know what a mock turtle is.”

“It’s the thing that mock turtle soup is made from”
