Admiral Snaccbar @Chris Mench Serving shrimp with the tail still on when it's already mixed into something (pasta, rice, etc) is insane.
My wife eats the tail. She's Japanese, that's normal. I don't though, so please no tails mixed in...
Han shot at the same time.
Han shot. That's it. There were no other shots.
Yeah I don't want shrimp shaped toenail in my food thank you. Or any toenail for that matter
Yup. That's super gross. I totally agree.
But, probably not for the same reason.
Found... ! Oh...
This is Korea. For whatever reason every single animal they consume that has unpleasant bits inside, they leave em in. Bony fish, bony chicken, grisly pork, soup full of shelled shellfish, and shrimp with tails. Hell, frequently entire shrimp head and all. Also locally where I live they have these different shrimp that have I dunno extra tough and sharp carapace. They don't even try to shuck those things.
The Country of Waste Not, Want Not
Oh definitely. It wasn't that long ago there were some pretty hard times here. The older generation remembers.
As someone who eats the tail: This is fine. I like the cronch.
The only thing I don't like is when they don't remove the poop chute and there's just a big-ass turd in the shrimp. 🤢
So... Hey Lemmy.... Does everybody wanna meet this dude?
Dude's everywhere. We need to meet this dude.
For various reasons, I'm calling the authorities... ALL of them.
It's the occasional stabby thing that gets me, though.
Yeah I eat the tail. I don't see anything wrong.
That's because you're both insane.
In my case, I think it's because when my siblings and I were kids, we only got to eat the tail because my parents wouldn't get shrimp for us but for themselves and then not eat the tail which we would.
I mean, I am insane, but that's not why.
...I didn't even know eating the tail was an option. Like, it's pure fucking chitin - there's nothing to emulsify. It's like trying to eat a fingernail, or piece of plastic.
Squeezing that last little nub of meat out of it, yeah, but the tail itself? Dafuq?
Or are we talking about that little nub of meat tucked away in the chitin hole? Just realized we might be calling two different things the 'tail'.
Damn.
I have no opinion on eating the tail of the shrimp with the rest of it. The concept of ordering or cooking shrimp, eating the flesh, and then giving someone else the tail is absolutely INSANE to me. It sounds like a bit from a sitcom.
It sounds like a bit from a sitcom.
My home life growing up was basically the same shit as Married With Children, but if Al had a better job.
Are you sure the parental abuse isn't why? Not even a little?
Is there a reason not to eat the tail? I normally eat it.
It's more that why would you want to eat it?
Do you also eat the bones when you get other meats?
Do you eat the skin of bananas or oranges?
Vegetarian here so can't answer for the meat and bones, but absolutely on the fruit and veggie front. Peels have a ton of nutrients, texture, and flavour
No one is arguing whether peels have nutrients. Do you eat banana peels and citrus rinds? That seems highly unlikely as they're not palatable.
Bro you eat banana skins? Just biting into that shit like it’s an apple?
It's like eating fingernails. 🤮
I like a crisp fried tail it's baller, but in like pasta it's just hard to eat for no real flavor or textural payoff
You can. There's nothing wrong with it. I eat em too.
Yes officer, this comment right here.
This is a real thing people do. My wife is one of them. I tried it; it's not as bad as you'd think, but I'd still rather not.
Depends on the shrimp and dish tbh
