Admiral Snaccbar @Chris Mench Serving shrimp with the tail still on when it’s already mixed into something (pasta, rice, etc) is insane.

    I think you might be confusing cause and consequence: it’s not that the Brits and Dutch can’t eat that stuff because it all gets shipped to France as the prices are higher there, it’s that because the Brits and Dutch are not eating that stuff the prices are lower in Britain and The Netherlands than in France (were they do eat that stuff) so it mostly gets shipped to France.

    I think you’re confused. You literally repeated what I said.

    You don’t see much organ meats in the Netherlands and the UK much because they are shipped to France where the price is high (and being a part of the EU, the isn’t any extra taxes for that). It’s market choices, not dietary, combined with they were never a huge desire for them there.

    I never said that they can’t, it’s that they didn’t normally so they ship it out which now prevents people from developing a taste for it as it now goes out for a higher price.

    As for the other part of why Portugal keeps it, it’s for a local market and the issues that deal with it. Think like most Asian nations won’t ship out rice for a higher price on the open market.
