People don't eat shrimp tails for "meat". It's like eating the crispy skin from a fish.

I like them.

Fml first post on the new page

Deep fried shrimp tail and fish spine are delicious! You'll find both at very high end, Michelin starred restaurants in Japan.

I like eating shrimp heads.

Yeah, they are delicious if deep fried http://www.foodnetwork.com/videos/duff-on-fried-shrimp-heads-video/40523.html

That's what's funny... I never ever ate tails of shrimp in the US... but in Japan, I always ate the tails. Now that I'm back in the US, I'm back to not eating the tails.

Well I eat the whole thing when I have Shrimp Tempura. But when the shrimp is boiled then I usually peel the tail off.

Eating the meat first and then still eat the tail? Yeah, that's even more silly. But I don't think you actually do that, you just wanted to argue against his post, but because of that your response ended up even more silly. It's like eating egg shells after you peeled it off.

You hold the shrimp by the tail, as you eat the shrimp, eventually you are left with the tail.
Why wouldn't you eat the tail last, if you like to eat the tails at all, unless you ate the whole shrimp in one bite ?

It's funny how many sheltered people there are. Eating shrimp tails is not that far out of the box at all.

Comparing it to eating egg shells is just plain dumb. Millions of people eat shrimp tails. Who eats eggs shells ? Nobody. You are silly.

Look at you, trying to justify yourself with your last paragraph, resorting to made up facts.

You described exactly why tails are left on: you use it to hold on to it. If they didn't, you couldn't use your hands. But if you didn't use your hands, you wouldn't hold it by the tail (not with chopsticks nor with a fork). Get it? The same reason you don't eat the stick of a popsicle.

You posts are incredibly shallow and you try to counter arguments without thinking what you're saying (and how they invalidate your own argument when thought a few steps ahead).

You're trolling in a thread about shrimp tails.

We have people in this very thread that eat them. Millions maybe an understatement.

The true total is likely tens of millions.

 

[UrokeJoe]

I don't. If you do, go ahead and enjoy it, but that is a pretty nasty habit you have there.

If you have prepared and deveined shrimp, you know the tail is exit. The vein moves down into the middle of the tail, and a lot of mud, grit and other things collect in the tail. It is tough to remove, so most people just leave it. Some dont mind eating the vein, but it is gritty and has a lot of sand. Not eating the tail you dont have to worry about it. If you dont mind it, go for it. Ive heard farm raised shrimp get fed something to clean out their insides, so the grit may vary a lot from farm raised to wild shrimp.

Shrimp are the cockroaches of the sea and you people are god damn disgusting for eating them.

When cooked, shrimp have a resemblance to many other seafoods so I don't get what's so disgusting about eating them. What's better about eating lobster or crab, for example?

 

[J@hranimo]

I could never imagine myself eating the shrimp tails. It just seems....odd to me.

I guess I'll try one next time I have shrimps and see if I'm a weirdo or not.

 

[MWS Natural]

I eat shrimp tails as well as the gristle off of chicken. I even eat the yellow/green Crab and lobster shit from the inside. I grew up poor we didn't have the luxury of leaving food on the plate. Any meat that I eat I make sure the bone is clean.
