[luxspark@lemmy.cafe]

Fair enough. They do have a distinctive flavor.

蛯 (Japanese "Ebi") = prawn.

Seems like I enjoy canned assholes. I never knew.

mmm... just like mom used to make

Maybe some bad bitch shrimp got in a knife fight with a lobster, lost her eye and just went ham

According to where I learned it, in high enough densities in concrete tanks, some shrimp would grind their own eyestalks off on the side of the tank. Some farmer put two and two together.

There is an indoor shrimp farm in Indiana. Really. They also claim they farm sustainably.

RDM Aquaculture LLC started in 2010 in Fowler, Indiana

Downside: they don't shell them or cut any bits off or anything. That's your job.

I've eaten multiple types of insects. All but one (giant water bug, tasted way too much like juniper, which I hate) have been decent. Ants are kind of citrusy because of the formic acid. Meal worms and the beetle larvae I had were kind of nutty. The crickets I had were the style they do in Oaxaca, Mexico, which is fried with chile and lime, so it's basically just crunchy chili lime flavor.

Incidentally, you can get cricket flour, which is exactly what it sounds like. You can either use it as a flour substitute (it also has a nutty flavor) or blend it with plant-based flours and use it in a standard baking recipe either way. And you won't get little legs stuck in your teeth or anything.

Lobsters are commonly referred to as bugs as well.

There is no scientific definition of “bug”, but the folk definition seems to be any invertebrate, typically with more than four limbs.

Oh...geeze. This read like a note found in a Resident Evil game...

People, fish, shrimp, and bugs are worms.

What flavor is the cake?

[ch00f@lemmy.world]

That’s not it actually. Current theory is it has something to do with the overall decreased sensation of sunlight indicating it’s mating season or something.

[tachyontele@lemm.ee]

There's also hormones they think are removed when the stalk is removed.

But really, no animal likes being injured. And they have no idea what else is going to get cut off.
