Why don't more people like eating shrimp tails?

Question

I'm the only person I know that likes eating shrimp tails. Why am I the only one? I love this stuff!

Answer 1

ummm..  cuz they are SHRIMP, TAILS. Shrimp look like the reproductive organ of male humans in an ice bath and their tails cant look any better. I'll let that formulate a wonderful mental image...... ok now try succesfully stomach one!

Answer 2

I know someone who when they went on their first date 30 years ago DID eat shrimp tails because she didn't know otherwise.

Answer 3

There is no meat and they are too crunchy!!!! yuck.

Answer 4

because it has no meat on them........

Answer 5

No, no . . . it's shrimp COCKtails! And you don't eat them; you DRINK them!

Answer 6

I only like them if they are fried...Yes, I've gotten weird looks from people about that too....

Answer 7

No you are not the only one I eat them too. I peel them when I am eating my shrimp scampy. I make sure I eat my money worth, so I eat the tail too.

Answer 8

are you talking about the exoskeleton? A doctor warned me once that the hard shells would cause damage to my son's stomach.

I just break open the tail, remove the meat, then drop the shells into a bit of water and make a bit of shrimp broth...

Answer 9

because they are crunchy and can scratch your throat

Answer 10

Love shrimp cocktail. And fra diavlo, sauteed, stuffed, baked, grilled, ANY style really. Never heard of eating  the actual tail (the shell) though, isn't that dangerous? It has those needle sharp spikey things at the very end of the tail, I've gotten poked till my fingers bled while cleaning fresh shrimp.  The tail meat is delicious, the only ediple part of the shrimp. If THAT'S what you really meant (and not the shell) I'm pretty darn sure there are plenty of other people about who also like shrimp tails.
