Re: I used to have a giant shrimp

I have never eaten snakes that were captive.
But i did eat them while backpacking in costa rica (2 weeks of catching my own food)
You toss them on the fire (just bones and muscle) and they squirm for a good 45 seconds

When I was in Brasil I didn't hardly know how to read the menu, so I pointed at the picture that looked good, and just ate it.

No regrets whatsoever, If the people around me were consuming it, then it was worth a try.

Goat kabobs with fruits and veggies I cannot even pronounce were a favourite.

The "fish" was lemon shark, the chickens were still clucking in cages at the grocery store, and those big slabs of beef rotating under a big IR lamp were all very delicious.

Re: I used to have a giant shrimp

You know something I wanna try...Guinea Pig. Its supposed to be delicious. Wherever they are found normally people will let them run around in their homes and such. When they want to eat one they just snatch them off the floor and cook them up. Talk about eating your "pet".

Re: I used to have a giant shrimp

I hope I don't offend anyone, but we had a Guinea pig once, and after a few months of that squee squee chirp chirp, all I wanted to do was eat it so it would shut up.

Have to agree with you infernalis they are probably the most annoying of all the rodents. Bet it would have been delicious.

Re: I used to have a giant shrimp

Best food I've ever eaten was Coconut crab, its like a giant crab alien and 1-2 fill you up. Easiest thing in the world to catch as well, assuming you have a method to quickly kill them

Re: I used to have a giant shrimp

Tried that, used a softball sized rock, it cracked/dented the shell and it ran up a tree.
Gota stab them in the face(mouth opening) or on a seam in their shell.
Or you can go really crazy and start ripping arms off:P

That wouldn't kill them it's just torture.

Infernalis- if you think a guinea pig is annoying, you should try having a parrot and not getting up to feed it at 7am, as per it's demands.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! "

then as it becomes more impatient, it comes in to your room and steps on your face until you wake up, complains, goes to it's cage, grabs its bowl and throws it at you.

"MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!"

"BEEP BEEP BEEP!" (microwave noise)

Or maybe you're trying to have a nap in the middle of the afternoon but the bird wants to recite the sound the washing machine makes when it's finished a thousand times over.

Technically a bird can go a day without food, but an your home survive a day's wrath of a parrot (who can pick that cage latch more easily than you think)? No.

they CAN go a day without eating but they will surely let you know you forgot.

Yes. They will let you know by destroying the things you care about that you think they're too stupid to know you care about.

Re: I used to have a giant shrimp

My African grey would destroy the dog for dog food if you gave him half a chance. Had to feed the dog in a closed room, or put the parrot back in his cage (he was normally allowed to roam the house because for some reason he always went to the washroom in his cage)

They have brilliant brain capacity, more than a lot of people give credit for.
