There is this funny story about how humans
first started cooking their meat... how a barn got burned down along with the
animals in it and the sad owner burned his finger when he poked a dead (and
apparently perfectly cooked) animal... and put the finger in his mouth... and
went yummm... but I have not heard a story about how we started eating shrimp.
Only thing I can say is, whoever started the trend, he or she must have been a
courageous soul! To look at one of those grumpy looking things with all spindly
legs and stalk eyed stare and think... “umm... that must taste lovely!” would
have taken a truly adventurous mind.
Whoever it was, I’m eternally grateful to
that person. For, that indeed tastes lovely! In fact, shrimp is the favourite
of a majority of pescetarians.
