Pomelos seem to be pretty easy to grow. I have seen a few trees on the street around here with them just hanging there, looking as unappealing as ever. No bugs or pests seem to bother them, even nature hates them…

Indeed, but there were also kids at the hospital sick from eating pomelos only. Such a difficult to digest fruit I think also may create the environment for an infection to thrive.
Peeling pomelos is like peeling an elephant.

i like the taste of pomelos. i can’t even be bothered to peel an orange so i’m not too keen on peeling them. i was given a bunch of them yesterday, wonder if i can make something out of them…
That’s why I don’t eat shrimps. They taste nice but I hate shelling them. At least with fried chicken there’s lots of delicious meat

Yeah, you also don’t need to shell chicken. So there’s that too.

What if we could genetically modify shrimps to have no exoskeleton?
Apparently you’ve got some unshared stories from culinary school!

I don’t think that’s feasible. You just need to make them extremely soft, like soft-shell crabs.

Imagine a chicken with more wings and leg per chicken or all dark meat…
KFC will probably have your mutant six-winged chickens ready for mass consumption by 2025.
I want a chicken with no bones and just a big shell.
Yet another reason to avoid these things.

Just buy domestic ones then. Haha
Another reason to buy Made in Taiwan.
How do mooncakes have african swine fever? Do some contain meat? I never eat those.
Supposedly the virus can survive for quite a while in pork products. There’s a lot of BS in Taiwan’s food trade rules and regs, though.
When cooked?
Well yeah … quite. Like I said a lot of it just boils down to trade protectionism and mindless drones enforcing the rules without applying any common sense.
Taiwan pig-meat is probably full of all sorts of horrible things if you test for them. But foreign products are often subject to completely different standards.
