    Lunch time.
    I was peeling shrimp. Got wounded... now sad.

    Anyway, I like how shrimp taste like. Crabs, too. But arghhhhh, they're so annoying to peel/prepare. When eating shrimp, what I do is peel everything off first before I start eating. By that time, most the people I'm eating with is nearly done because they eat immediately after peeling. I'm a bit of a slow peeler too. I take my time peeling the shell off.

    Shrimp would definitely be one of my top annoying food to eat. Sometimes, I'd avoid it if I'm feeling lazy.

    What's yours?

    Shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it.

    how the fuck can you wound yourself eating shrimp? I can undersrand if it's crab but fucking shrimp?
    Peal the head off, then the legs and then peel off the shells at the place where the legs were. It takes like 15 seconds.

    They really are! That's why I mostly buy pre-prepared ones, tho those don't usually taste as good for some reason

    Making shrimp is annoying. They're small and you need to prep so many of them before even starting! Also, I like cooking them after peeling them. Eating them while peeling just feels so unsatisfying. Like, you eat one bite every few minutes?

    I just want to say, the only reason yours got out sooner than mine today is because I just spent the last 10 minutes trying to adjusting my keyboard on my computer.

    I love shrimp, but I only eat them in restaurants where I don't need to do any peeling... Too lazy to do it myself... >.>

    I think someone got hungry...
    Give them candy first.
    The head part. I got sliced off a little bit. Even 15 seconds is too slow imo.
    I like prawns more myself. More satisfying nomming, less shell peeling.

    :blob_coffee:
    Hahaha, this shrimp was brought by my sis. If it was me, I wouldn't even buy some :blobrofl:

    I got used to deshell shrimps after how many times i ate it.
    It's different for crabs though. I'd rather eat another dish than than torture myself to crack their shell. It takes hard work and i don't think i have it when i'm starving.

    Some people do eat shrimps shell, mostly for lingering taste from soup or stew.

    Shrimp aren't as bad as those packs of crab claws they sell at the store. Those shells are hard!!! It's not even just... "oh, I gotta peel it", but it's also... "oh I gotta get out some specialized tools because otherwise I can't even crack open the shell argh!!"

    Sometimes even with the tool, I can't crack it, so I have to get my dad to do it for me :blob_teary:

    Fish. I have to be careful while eating it so that i don't choke on the fish bones. sometimes while chewing, the fish bone would stab my gum which is quite annoying.

    I agree simps are annoying :blob_pout:

    I hate crabs more! They are delish but I've wounded my mouth a couple of times because of it. smh

    What about tacos and other similar wraps? Tacos are delish but one wrong move and you'll only have a taco with no fillings to eat! :blobtriumph:

    Just so you know she probably got the white people level of spice places that sell curry cut down on the spices cause white people aren’t used to our normal level of spices
