Things That Are a Pain in the Ass to Eat

[schma]

Oranges and Crab legs are the first two things that came to mind. I tried crab legs and they were okay, definitely not worth the effort.

I usually just enjoy my oranges as juice and save myself the hassle.

Crawfish. The meat you get from the tail isn't worth the effort. Mangoes were a pain to peel if the fruit was ripe enough to eat. The pit is a hassle too.

Over-tall burgers, easily.


It looks delicious, in a "this will take ten years off your life expectancy" sort of way, but what the f*** am I supposed to do with it? A burger you have to take apart to eat is not a burger.

And don't even get me started on abominations like this:

Lobster and crab. Adding chocolate jubes to the list too mainly because it's like playing Russian Roulette with those. Ugh, that horrible feeling when you've bitten into the ones that turned out to be black licorice...

[dablueboy]

Shell on prawns, especially in a sticky or greasy sauce are a nightmare to open up

Hard shell tacos, one bite and it turns to nachos

Fried chicken wings, moreso the wing rather than the mini drum as there’s less meat and a risk of little bones from the tips

Oranges if they have a thicker peel

Bavarian slices, unless you separate the iced pastry top, squelches out on first bite

Cadbury Flake, one bite and it crumbles everywhere

Is that second picture Bubble Bass's order?

I like to order rare and exotic fruits online. And since these fruits don't have the generations of selective breeding that fruits at supermarkets do they can sometimes be giant pains when trying to get the flesh off of inedible parts like seeds or skin. For everybody complaining about peeling oranges, try fruits like atemoyas or pawpaws or mamoncillos.

Pineapple. f*** that.

This may be controversial... but chicken wings. I find them messy, and there's not a lot of meat for the mess they make.

I know 'boneless wings' are just 'chicken nuggets for adults' but at least I get a full bite out of them, and less mess.

Chicken wings suck. Boneless wings all the way.

Custard slices.

You bite into one and because the top and bottom are solid, the custard just spills out of the sides.

Also, Cadbury Flake.

You can see why they call it the crumbliest, flakiest chocolate!

[Instant Classic]

Crab for sure.

[fw91]

Apples. Those things are a serious time commitment and work your jaw way too hard.

Sliced only.

When you got long facial hair a pile of stuff becomes a pain in the ass to eat.

But even before the beard got to where it is now I hated eating stuff like ribs and BBQ. Cause of how messy my hands and face got.

Crawfish are amazing. But so much work for so little meat.

Boiled shrimp the same way.I will eat fried shrimp till the place kicks me out or the shrimp run out. But boiled...nah I will go make a PB&J sandwich.

Ok crab I love.But all I will eat is deep fried soft shell crab. Use to get them at a place at at Sabine Pass. Before that dad had the shrimp boat and would get some in the trawl.

Those I will eat cause you eat every part. But cracking and digging the meat out ....nah.

I’m joining in on the crab train. So much effort for so little meat. Who thought this was a good idea!?

This might be exclusive to Australia..

But bread rolls covered in powder like flour .. Bap Rolls..

Just really messy.

One that’s a little more widespread: powdered donuts.

Even this morning I was shopping for pastries and considered getting the powdered donuts, but no matter how carefully you eat them a little powder seems to get out. Then even a little powder tends to make a mess. I opted for the blueberry muffins instead.

Yeah, another popular thing here is hot jam donuts .. covered in sugar so it’s messy as hell and the jam inside is like lava hot most of the time .. so you eat one and then you have burnt feeling on your tongue for the rest of the day.

Lesser extent is the hot cinnamon donut.. covered in powdered cinnamon, little messy, but there is no feeling in nuke your mouth.

Ribs.

One of the most delicious foods on earth, such a pain in the ass to eat.

I pull the meat off and into a pile. I’m not gnawing on it like a wolf, no matter how delicious it is. It’s 2023. I have a fork, if it’s cooked properly the meat should just slide off to the slightest touch.

[KingPooper]

Add watermelon and cantaloupe. If I have to cut some giant ass fruit in half, then cut it so I have a handle, and I still get juice everywhere. Nah I’m good.

Maybe it's since crab is my favorite food, but it's honestly pretty easy for me to eat it. Crawdads are a bigger nuisance to me, but they can be worth it if they were cooked correctly. I've had bland-as-hell crawdads before, and that was demoralizing. A bunch of effort with no payoff.
