Admiral Snaccbar @Chris Mench Serving shrimp with the tail still on when it’s already mixed into something (pasta, rice, etc) is insane.
This is Korea. For whatever reason every single animal they consume that has unpleasant bits inside, they leave em in. Bony fish, bony chicken, grisly pork, soup full of shelled shellfish, and shrimp with tails. Hell, frequently entire shrimp head and all. Also locally where I live they have these different shrimp that have I dunno extra tough and sharp carapace. They don’t even try to shuck those things.
I’ve had similar experiences with SE Asian cuisine. They just don’t seem to have the same standards for butchering and meat preparation that we do in the West. Hell, I know of one SE Asian culture that doesn’t even have any sort of defined meat cuts. They just chop it all up into big chunks. Doesn’t matter what part of the animal it is, it’s getting chopped up into big bits.
It just takes longer to eat. Great at at Big party with lots of beer.

Oh definitely. It wasn’t that long ago there were some pretty hard times here. The older generation remembers.
All of us who are old enough to have grown up around depression era survivors in the United States are familiar with that too.
My grandma is over 100 and still licks the plate clean after eating. Things like that get ingrained with you
My mom was born during the Great Depression and re-uses ziplock bags. On the other hand, she insists on brand-name everything instead of generics or store brands, so it’s not purely about frugality.
제주닥새우? But they taste sooo good

The taste is OK, but they will shred your mouth.
