Would Bubba Understand?

OK, we’ve discussed grits, now, let’s talk about shrimp.

Can someone please explain to me the logic of leaving the tail on shrimp? I mean, I don’t mind all that much when the shrimp is fried and I can simply pop the tail off, but what about when it is in a dish? Why should I have to stick my hands into my food and get some kind of sauce all over my fingers in order to remove the tails from my shrimp?

Seriously, does anyone thing that’s appropriate behavior in a classy restaurant?

    I couldn’t agree more. It can’t get worse than being in at a business dinner and having to stick your fingers in some red sauce to pick off the tails. Might as well went the BBQ route…

    The tail is the best part!

    Crunch, crunch, crunch! Yum!
