I'm making jumbo shrimp cooked in a sauce of butter, lemon juice, spices and spoiled wine

that is NOT pitou

>>22975541
>pitou
literally what/who?

why is it spoiled?

>>22975584
the previous owner left it upright for a decade and a half causing the cork to dry out and thus oxygen got in and spoiled it over time. You are supposed to leave corked bottles on their side so the cork remains swelled thus preventing outside air from getting in

Its not good for drinking but its good for cooking, it has its own unique flavor profile like worcester sauce or onions sauce and when you cook what alcohol is left evaporates since it has a lower boiling temperature

your OP image reminded me, maybe they could kiss

I haven't been able to eat shrimp since I had to deconstruct them from whole a few years ago.
It's not just the vein. There's organs and shit in there. I found some sort of weird piss sack that is definitely in a region that gets eaten on even the cleanest shrimp.

are you sure it wasn't a parasite or cyst of some kind?
idk man, that is weird

>>22975622
Maybe, yeah. That's a good point. I haven't touched shrimp since then so I wouldn't know. Every time I've thought about trying shrimp all I can think about is biting into a piss sack, so permanently ruined for me lol

>>22975657
i just found this, idk though

i remember eating crawfish my friend and i had picked from a nearby creek
i wonder if the chef removed the organs or not...

at this point i'm freaked out as well

>>22975662
The funny thing is, southern folk cook crawfish whole and just suck everything out. They boil them and don't process or remove anything. Just suck 'em whole.

There's nothing inherently unhealthy about this process. I just can't anymore because its an irrational phobia. That weird sack was probably a fluke as well, but also probably not harmful in any way and most likely nutritious.

i was about to gut a squirrel for consumption and saw a big botfly larvae pop out of it. I immediately noped the fuck out and tossed it, and have had no desire to eat squirrel since
webm related, i took a video

>>22975686
That's pretty fucking gnarly, but also probably nutritious. I wonder how hungry we would have to get to look past these things.

>>22975540 (OP)
Aah, I wish I could eat a nice hot meal like that without getting sick all the time.

>>22975727
why would you get sick?

>>22975921
Common occurrence, randomly meals make my stomach hurt a lot after eating.
