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.

      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.

        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.

          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.
