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.

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?

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

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days 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.

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

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