So today I was at my favorite sushi restaurant here in Arizona, Shiro, enjoying the amazing food that only the can provide. My father and I had some deliciously sweet sushi rolls and the cooks brought us their heads fried on a platter. I plopped one in mouth and it was pretty tasty, so I more vigorously chowed into the next one. As I crunched on the pretty hard shell, I felt a sudden pain in the roof of my mouth. When I had swallowed everything I realized a good sized piece of shrimp shell was embedded in the top of my mouth. Since it was too small to get my fingers around I had to sit around for about 20 minutes before I could get home and pluck it out. I've learned two lessons from this: 1. I should eat slower. 2. Some shrimp are fighters to the end.
Oh goodness! Sorry to hear that, friend!! However, shrimp heads....Not sure I could do that. But I'm wimpy with food. It's the one thing that keeps me off shows like Survivor. :0) ~S
Haha, thanks. Once it was out, it bled a bit but feels just fine now. Survivor? Oh man, they don't eat things half as worse as Fear Factor.
I don't think I could ever eat anything like that. In primary school <I was 6> they tried to make me eat snails and frogs legs. My mom let me have that week off school. Like heck was I going to eat something that belongs in the garden!!!! >< The most adventurous I have been is to eat scallops. I liked them the first time round, now I can't even put them to my mouth without gagging. I'm the worlds biggest whimp when it comes to strange food.
First, the reviewer in me had to laugh. Do you realize that you never mentioned shrimp until about 2/3 of the way through the story? Which made this clause quite interesting reading: All I could picture was a couple of headless sushi chefs presenting platters to you... However, I can believe that the shells would have sharp points, and also that the fried shrimp heads would be amazingly tasty. I'd like to try that sometime, but I am now adequately forewarned to be careful.
Woops! That does come across as a bit... awkward. Thanks for pointing it out! And fried shrimp is quite tasty, but yes, you have been warned. It's not a 'soft' food.
I can't eat anything that comes out of the sea... >_> A friend of mine once chipped their tooth eating pizza, though. Food - it's dangerous!
The sea makes some of the best food though! Haha, yeah. Food is a dangerous thing. You can choke, chip teeth, and even over indulge yourself so that one day you'll die of clotted arteries.
