Heh, for those of you that struggle with seafood, why not do it the Asian way? I've been taught to eat the whole shrimp and even the shells (of soft shell, unfortunately. Haven't had someone good hard shell in a way that I could eat it.). It may make your teeth shudder, but it's good for you (the shells have calcium).

Lychees are my favorite fruit, so I've gotten used to peeling without it exploding. But I know one that I HATE to work with: sunflower seeds. Augh, too much work and it's almost not worth it.

I've learned the Asian way by virtue of being an impatient fat pig :)

I'm sitting at my desk with a bag of delicious lychees. They are incredibly tasty and have a rather unique, fresh fruity taste to them (I believe they are the sole members of their particular plant type).
Wow! Lychees was the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw the title.

Venison, have to wait half a year to get it legally. Then you sit in the woods for a few days sometimes, after which you have to gut skin and wrap it and then you're still in the woods so take that all home for processing :'( but it's SOOOOOOO good

A Peri-Peri fried half-chicken, so damn annoying having to pick the flesh off of the bone, and some bits aren't really edible even though you worked so hard trying to remove it. Still delicious though

Toblerones!! the fuckers can make your mouth bleed if you don't eat them properly, then give you a heart when you do finally eat one.
Word. Most painful chocolate bar ever. Especially those huge ones. I swear they're designed my sadists.
How, exactly, do you eat a Toblerone properly?

I love crabs, but that's only when I can use my hands to eat, and not some fancy spoon and fork. Screw fine dining, eating with your hands is the way to go (at least, in my country)!

Break the chunks off manually, and allow to soften slightly in the mouth, then chew.

The ever so slightly cracked pistachio, aspecially after you have eaten a bunch and your fingers are all salty and dry and chafed from splitting earlier ones, and then trying to wedge a peice of finger or thumb in enough to get it open often takes time and leaves me with sore fingers all for a tiny little nut.

Oh and taco's, the hard shell kind. They taste great when everything is in proper proportion, but as soon as you take that first bite, *crunch* *snap* and then you are left with taco juice on your hands, and if you are unlucky on your pants. Not to mention once its broken its dam near imposiable to put back together.

I like the cooking of foods just as much as the eating of them so there isn't really any food that's a ***** to make and great to eat. I do, however, hate it when I need to peel every bit of shell off a shrimp to get to the succulent goodness within.
