Populism Updates @PopulismUpdates Tell me your most radical position that cannot be placed on the left-right political spectrum
Admiral Snaccbar @Chris Mench Serving shrimp with the tail still on when it’s already mixed into something (pasta, rice, etc) is insane.

As Americans, we should eat more meat organs. The amount of Americans who get excited by eating a chicken leg but then get disgusted at eating the chicken gizzard is too high.
We should certainly be equally disgusted with all meat.
Except with that delicious billionaire meat.
Billionaire meat is vegan because they’ve consented to being a billionaire.
Eating gizzard sounds offal to me
i chuckled, good one
Looking at my own country and other countries I’ve lived in, I think it’s to do with poverty or at least recent poverty - Portugal was very poor back in before the Revolution in 74 and still now it’s far more common around here to eat all those parts of animals (and, curiously, one of my favorite dishes is a local version of tripe) than that I noticed in The Netherlands and the UK (though the Scots do have the famous Haggis).
The funny thing is that nowadays at least some of those things have been found to be quite healthy to eat.
You don’t see much organ meats in the Netherlands and the UK much because they are shipped to France where the price is high (and being a part of the EU, the isn’t any extra taxes for that). It’s market choices, not dietary, combined with they were never a huge desire for them there.
It’s also why you don’t really see much chicken feet for sale, they are shipped to China where the price is high.
And yet, curiously, they’re not shipped from Portugal to France even though it’s not all that much farther way than England.
If it was all about the price being high in France then surely the Portuguese slaughterhouses would be shipping that stuff there, not selling it to butchershops in Portugal.
I think you might be confusing cause and consequence: it’s not that the Brits and Dutch can’t eat that stuff because it all gets shipped to France as the prices are higher there, it’s that because the Brits and Dutch are not eating that stuff the prices are lower in Britain and The Netherlands than in France (were they do eat that stuff) so it mostly gets shipped to France. This latter hypothesis does explain why a country were people do eat that stuff and with lower purchasing power than France does in fact have that stuff available locally rather than it all having been exported to France.

I think you’re confused. You literally repeated what I said.

I never said that they can’t, it’s that they didn’t normally so they ship it out which now prevents people from developing a taste for it as it now goes out for a higher price.
As for the other part of why Portugal keeps it, it’s for a local market and the issues that deal with it. Think like most Asian nations won’t ship out rice for a higher price on the open market.
We have a traditional dish in the UK which are meatballs made from minced pork liver and heart, mixed with bacon, onion and breadcrumbs. Unfortunately, I cannot name this dish because it shares the same name as a homophobic slur but they are known as “ducks” in Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and Lancashire.
Steak and kidney pie also a classic. Liver and bacon as well.
I had to look up the recipe to figure out the slur you were alluding to…yikes. I don’t blame you for not repeating the name here.
Another fun fact, the shortened version of that slur (word that rhymes with ‘rag’) is what we call cigarettes.
I recently saw some packaged chicken sausages that said “all white meat” and I was confused.
It’s breast. Leg is dark.
Onions don’t belong on food
I’m devastated.
My hot dogs…
Only to be eaten like apples.
Creedposting
What? Explain yuself
You asked for my most radical opinion.
It’s an ADHD texture thing, the texture of onions does not mesh with any other food (maybe edible paper?), so it’s always jarring to bite an onion while eating food.
Props my dude. Don’t feel ashamed by that!
I got a coworker who cannot stand ruffle chips. Like, not just the texture, but the sound it makes grinding on each other.
I’m with you when the onions are raw. Cooked, the texture is tolerable enough that the taste is worth it IMO. Though I do prefer them chopped small or sliced thin no matter what.
People don’t eat the tail?
The insane part is taking the heads off.
More pizza is good in all three states than is not true, pineapple isn’t special in this regard. Wood fired crust isn’t good cold.
I once had pasta with whole mussels mixed in. Could never be too sure my next bite wouldn’t have a big chunk of shell in it. Shit was expensive for what it was too, they definitely could have paid some guy just to stand there in the kitchen and remove the shells as it goes onto the plate for what we were paying. Not a radical opinion this just reminded me of it.
People who order and eat chili mussels (with shells) at restaurants are insane and are getting ripped off. it is the least practical dish, and by weight, half of it is inedible. I think it’s also a massive pain in the ass for kitchen staff to prepare.
This is Korea. For whatever reason every single animal they consume that has unpleasant bits inside, they leave em in. Bony fish, bony chicken, grisly pork, soup full of shelled shellfish, and shrimp with tails. Hell, frequently entire shrimp head and all. Also locally where I live they have these different shrimp that have I dunno extra tough and sharp carapace. They don’t even try to shuck those things.
The Country of Waste Not, Want Not
Oh definitely. It wasn’t that long ago there were some pretty hard times here. The older generation remembers.
All of us who are old enough to have grown up around depression era survivors in the United States are familiar with that too.
My mom was born during the Great Depression and re-uses ziplock bags. On the other hand, she insists on brand-name everything instead of generics or store brands, so it’s not purely about frugality.
Yeah but name brands mean you buy it once and it doesn’t fail as often, is the argument for that I get from those of that generation.
And I mean I get it. Buy a cheap pair of shoes or a good pair and you will realize you will go through 3 of the cheap pairs at half price compared to buying 1 good pair.
Though less so with each passing year since name brands are designed to fail now too.
Yeah, I’m 30 and I feel like I’ve never had the experience of being able to rely on a name brand consistently. Everything seems to fall apart. Sometimes you get something great, but when it comes time to replace it and you buy the exact same thing from the exact same company it comes at a much lower quality
Ironically, it was about 30 years ago that brand names started really leaning into shrinkflation, and enshitification, riding off the merits of their previously good name.
Its so fricking hard to find the trustworthy brands.
I’m honestly just so willing to not have any brand loyalty and to suffer with making a bad pick that I have to return or fix myself, I constantly having to re-find what is considered actually good quality.
The answer is a lot of name brand in the higher price range but not so high that it’s just for padding a contractor’s quote and percent take home is still good quality. And you can never go for the same model twice if the company is doing constant refreshes cause those are with cheaper components every time. (Allowance for first refresh fixing a flaw)
My grandma is over 100 and still licks the plate clean after eating. Things like that get ingrained with you
I’ve had similar experiences with SE Asian cuisine. They just don’t seem to have the same standards for butchering and meat preparation that we do in the West. Hell, I know of one SE Asian culture that doesn’t even have any sort of defined meat cuts. They just chop it all up into big chunks. Doesn’t matter what part of the animal it is, it’s getting chopped up into big bits.
It just takes longer to eat. Great at at Big party with lots of beer.
제주닥새우? But they taste sooo good
Yup. That’s super gross. I totally agree.
But, probably not for the same reason.
Found… ! Oh…
found the vegan
Beat ya to it.
Clever
None of the doom and gloom really matters, every human in history has lived in a time of crisis. How we handle the challenges at hand determine the challenges for those that follow, but panicking about it is a waste of energy.
It’s really hard to accept this these days. Before new media, people often had no idea what was going on outside their town or villiage. Must have been bliss (Except for the entrenched poverty, filth, disease and oppression of course lmao). Now it’s hard to avoid learning about who got killed in what gruesome way today.
Epsom Salt is the only over the counter laxative I will take.
My neighbor fancies Manx so I never get a chance to eat the tails.
Han shot at the same time.
Han shot. That’s it. There were no other shots.
Right?? I love shrimp but I hate eating things with my hands. No matter the dish, I pull those tails off and I know how to do it without losing any meat. I can’t stand tails on shrimp as I’m trying to eat
Videogames should go with inflation and get more expensive instead of trying to cramp in in-game purchases and deluxe editions and whatever.
I don’t want to own a “license” to a Game, I want to own the Game
Turning off Servers for goods you bought without offering a replacement should be illegal.
The shrimp tail is nothing, but when the intestine is left in the shrimp, that bothers me!
Yeah I don’t want shrimp shaped toenail in my food thank you. Or any toenail for that matter
