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…
Hah, my Japanese wife has convinced me to eat them too. I eat about 50% of them now.
What about shrimp tempura with the head, are you supposed to eat it?

Look up “spaghetti allo scoglio”, basically spaghetti with various shelfish (and other sea food). They leave all the shells on by design. They also bring a separate empty plate on the side to dump them in, and a wet (lemon) wipe to clean yourself after. Cleaning the molluscs from the shells it’s basically part of enjoying the plate. And it’s good!
I’m sure the dish is delicious. But when I go to a restaurant and I have to do work to eat to food, I always get annoyed. I’m paying for this meal so I don’t have to work, dammit.
I eat the tail too. Not because of cultural reasons, but because lazy AF and ain’t nobody got time to separate them.
Its also why I dont eat fish that isn’t deboned.
Ah, that logic sounds like you eat strawberries with the leaves still attached because you can’t be bothered to remove them, haha.
I just eat the whole plant. I can’t be bothered taking all the strawberries off one by one.
Is there a reason not to eat the tail? I normally eat it.
It’s like eating fingernails. 🤮
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.
Not only does pineapple belong on pizza, ham & pineapple pizza is the only pizza that is consistent in all three states: fresh and hot, cold, and reheated.
I despise when people are food traditionalists. If we listened to them, we’d still be eating like British people.
I grew up in El Salvador listening to people insist that only beans, cheese and pork go in pupusas. Otherwise it’s a sin! Well the young people now make them with everything you can think of from shrimp to sweet potato and it’s incredible.
You don’t like pineapple on pizza don’t eat it
To add my personal opinion. New York/North American pizza is better than Italian pizza
Putting anything inedible on a plate is insane.
If its on my plate in a restaurant, I will attempt to eat it.
I was on a school trip to a hotel, and was handed some dragon fruit. They didn’t tell me how to eat it, so I bit right into it. Took out a big chunk and wanting to try something new I kept chewing it.
The man had a look of what was a mix between horror and surprise on his face and told me to spit it out.
Not really a plate but I was handed something with inedible parts and no instructions. Similar I suppose?
When driving you are making things more dangerous and less efficient by waving people in. If it is your right of way take it.
Be predictable, not polite.
Yeah I’ve never understood if they expect me to just eat the tail, or start playing with my pasta with my hands to pull them off. Certainly not gonna waste like half my shrimp by just cutting the meat where the tail starts.
“Oh yes sure please make my comfort food more difficult to eat thanks”
I’m right there with you. Serving shrimp tail-on might as well be serving something on a log instead of a plate.
Every bathroom everywhere should have a bidet.
I usually cut my spaghetti. It’s just more convenient to eat.
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. 🤢
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’.
No, the thread is about the crunchy bit. With cocktail shrimp I find it’s better to squeeze the meat out but when the shrimp is cooked and covered in sauce a lot of times I just find it less of a pain to get the meat out alone (especially if they leave the whole shell on after removing only the head and legs).
I didn’t use to eat the shell but after moving to Asia I ended up caring a lot less about whether I eat it or not. I also have other lazy/weird food opinions though-- like I’ll just eat the whole kiwi if im too lazy to go get a knife and spoon-- so maybe that plays into it as well
Gold kiwi skin is very edible, green is less so
…but still edible. I usually alternate between eating kiwi whole and with a spoon ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yup. That’s super gross. I totally agree.
But, probably not for the same reason.

Beat ya to it.
