yeah all seafood like shrimp, lobster, and crabs are peasant food. Bottom feeders that eat waste. It's like eating the sea's trash can or swine.

There was probably a single instance of a shortage and the price spike stayed in place.

West Indian world, ox tails too

 

[King Sun]

I don't shame people for eating them but I could never take the smell of them cooking

 

[Piff Perkins]

Also common in Asia for hundreds of years. This is a perfect example of how western, slavery focused views of issues often leads to ahistorical views. How many times have we heard that you shouldn't eat chitlins as a black person because it's slave food and we shouldn't perpetuate it now. In reality it's been eaten around the world, including by white people, for ages.

I don't eat chitlins because they smell like shyt. Got nothing to do with slavery.
