Admiral Snaccbar @Chris Mench Serving shrimp with the tail still on when it's already mixed into something (pasta, rice, etc) is insane.

Is there a reason not to eat the tail? I normally eat it.

[-] Old_Jimmy_Twodicks@sh.itjust.works 79 points 2 months ago

Yes officer, this comment right here.

[-] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] TootSweet@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago

It's like eating fingernails. 🤮

[-] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 19 points 2 months ago

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

[-] criss_cross@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

You can. There's nothing wrong with it. I eat em too.

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago

Depends on the shrimp and dish tbh

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?

[-] NovaPrime@lemmy.ml -1 points 2 months ago

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

[-] NewNewAccount@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Bro you eat banana skins? Just biting into that shit like it’s an apple?

[-] NovaPrime@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 months ago

I do haha. I know it sounds gross to a lot of people, but once you get over the mental block of "only the fruit inside is food" that most of us are raised with, they're actually quite tasty. You can dry them out and make a tasty snack too if you don't want to raw dog them

He said they got nutrients. He didn't say he eats em.

[-] Willy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

he said they got lots of flavor. he eats them.

[-] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 months ago

I know lemon and orange peels have a lot of flavor because I'll scrape a bit for "lemon zest" in some dishes. It however, does not mean I eat the peels.

[-] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] superkret@feddit.org 1 points 2 months ago

yes on the citrus rinds. Also whole kiwis and apple cores

[-] NovaPrime@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 months ago

Yes, I do. That's what I was saying I'm my comment above. And just because you perceive them as highly unpalatable, does not mean thst everyone else does too.
