Are shrimps the most delicious meal?
Have a bump and a blue heart for impeccable taste in books!

Same here, I live far, far away from any sea/ocean and thus they are very expensive.

I don't want to attract so much hate, so I'm really sorry but..
I love every kind of food, I know, my girlfriend's always been vegetarian, I should eat better, but anyways, I like food, in Northern Italy we have so many dishes that we could literally spend our whole life from town to town eating always different food..
But I hate shrimps.
The last time I went with her to a high-class Japanese restaurant (where she ate vegan sushi and vegetarian yakiudon) I had an awesome plate of sushi: hozomaki, uramaki, a salmon temaki and so on.
Well, in this big dish, there were on the menu two shrimp nigiri.
I asked them gently to take them away in order not to waste them, since I HATE SHRIMPS.
They have been actually so gentle that they changed my shrimp nigiri with two additional salmon nigiri among the tuna, amberjack, sea bream and so on.
Thanks for sharing and sorry for my shrimp hate =(

What do you hate about them? The texture, their shape? Color? or... or... the taste!?
Comment has been collapsed.
Everything, I'm scared of them! Probably there's some strange Greek phobia word for this..
Their taste is impossible to bear, of course I ate them only once in more than 30 years ç_ç
They look like huge white bugs, like caterpillars, worms, but fat! I don't hate bugs or worms in general, we have lots of insects here, but yeah the eel and similar water animals aren't my favourite ones.. shrimps instead look really like naked, pink and white worms.. ç__ç
What a nightmare!! This night will be hard ç_ç

Ah don't feel that bad, I know a guy who hates every food that is green. No matter the taste, he hates them just for being green.
And I have to admit, shrimps and lobsters do have an insect-like form and kinda intimidating before you remove their exoskeleton.
Try them one more in the next 30 years, but do it blindfolded and let your girlfriend feed them to you without you knowing it beforehand.

Well, that would be a problem for me, my eyes are shamrock green and it would be quite uncomfortable to be scared of a color in particular, especially if it's the color of your eyes that you have to see every day.. oh, I like colors, and colored food.
Anyways my phobia goes with the words too. That skeleton part, just imagining them, picturing in my mind how can that naked thing be when you have it on your plate, having to remove something from them too, their dead weird tail, I really can't see them. I've got to ask everyone to keep them away from my eyesight, if they're on the menu I ask to pay the same price in order to have them removed in any way. They are definitely intimidating, like big worms, insects, but clean and not dirty, meaning that you can see them in their whole ugliness!
Lobsters though are funnier to see. I mean.. alive and walking.. or just red.. they're big, I don't even know how a shrimp lives outside a kitchen, and I don't really want to see a cooked lobster or think about them with something to remove.
Anyways here we've got shrimps even if we live way far from the sea, and in my grandfather's native town there's a huge park named "Rio dei Gamberi" which means literally "Shrimp River Park" 'cos until some decades ago it was full of river shrimps.
Luckily, I was born in the '80s and there are no more shrimps in that river..
Though my girlfriend was born in Sicily and her whole family lives down there, it seems that they eat lots of shrimps and lobsters, probably there are many of them in the Mediterranean, I don't know, I was born near Tyrol, far from shrimps. She's vegetarian so I don't even see shrimps, that's probably one of the few pros of having a vegetarian gf.
I promise I'll try that, I've got to overcome EVERY fear of mine!!

I used to go fish river shrimp with my friends, they are brown colored here and I used a very small harpoon to catch them but that was when I lived in the nature, now I am stuck in a grey and contaminated city.
Funny you mention that, my ancestors are from Sicily and had no idea shrimp was heavily consumed by them. Maybe I had it in my genes all this time.
Nice photo btw, I would love to read some books on one of those benches.
Here are some pics from the place I used to go fish for river shrimp, It is a place called El Cielo:

Well, I don't speak Spanish but "cielo" in Italian means sky so I think it's the same word.. seems an amazing place!!
I really didn't even imagine you had ancestors from Sicily! Well, she has all her relatives in Sicily and yeah, before she became vegetarian, she enjoyed shrimps more than any other sea food.. well, they eat a lot down there, I discovered tons of fishes I had never heard about and shrimps are a must in Sicily (she's from Palermo, I know, they always say that every city is different xD). Quite a different cuisine though, we have just river fishes which aren't that good, we eat all the other kinds of meat and yeah I like meat a lot!
I didn't even know that shrimps could be caught by fishing (don't even know where and how they live, they're so ugly ç_ç). And while I'm thinking about them in the Mediterranean or wherever else, I can't picture a living shrimp anywhere. I know only 'cos they're everywhere, from sushi to fried meals, pasta and so on.. anyways I have too much fear of them to search for a Youtube documentary on how and where shrimps live.
I can relate too, as I said that park has no more cangrejos de río (I just looked that translation, weird word xD river shrimps, anyways) since decades for some reason, we don't have big cities but still it was way better many years ago.. my grandfather told me many times they ate lots of river shrimps but I never asked how they used to fish them xD
Thanks for sharing, I'm really happy to have talked about this phobic matter! =P

Oh well, In the river I frequented the shrimp lived in small caves under the water or under rocks. I used a waterproof lantern attached to my head, googles and a very small harpoon. Hunted them individually but there are people who use nets to trap a lot of them at once when they are in their reproductive season, I never liked that, for some reason it seemed excessive or abusive.
Anyway, it was a good talk mate, my regards to you, your gf and your grandpa!

Don't worry about someone else's slang usage of a valid word. They have no authority. However, if you wish to include our friends from down under, you can call them prawns. :)
The shrimp, that is. XD

Thanks, that's a new word for me, I like the sound of it
