Shrimp Tails

[drjeff]

Even on a jumbo shrimp? :lol:

One of the tastiest oxymorons of all time if you ask me

 

[Cheese]

Yeah, i mean if shrimp cocktail didn't have the tail, then you would just be eating shrimp cock.

Well played!

Now, if you want to talk about why they leave the tails on in sauteed dishes and pasta, then I'm with you.

I've asked waitstaff about this and the best guess was a presentation decision. I wish they would cut them off. I've complained about this many times.

Definitely a first world problem.

It's still a problem. Not, perhaps, as big a problem as, say, typhoid contaminated water, or ramapging rabid rhinos, but still, a bit of an issue, especiall when you end up getting butter from your scampi on your tie. That sucks.

Right up there with shells in Fra Diavolo. What's this world coming to?

 

[SKIQUATTRO]

agree with you on the shrimp....if in a pasta dish, no tail...if cocktail, leave the tail

also, why is (or was) lobster the most expensive thing on the menu, but you have to do all the work for not a whole lotta meat.....

Lol in all honesty...when I eat shrimp I always eat the tail too. Just pop the whole thing in my mouth lol..I like the crunchiness....they say its not good for you. but it hasnt killed me yet lol

Nobody has told you that blood in your stool isn't normal?

I always eat the skin on the salmon. Apparently you aren't supposed to do that either.

You aren't suppose to eat it? I love it when it is nice and crispy

To which my reply would be "why are you EATING skis/boots/bndings?"

(and then I'd quickly duck under the table to hide from the sharp object that would likely be thrown at me at that moment in time )

Lol naaa but then again if the gallons of mayo and blue cheeze I eat with food dont kill me, those occasional tails should pretty much be harmless to me lol
