There's probably a more clever and/or theatrical way to do it. I’m not sure how they’re supposed to be shelled, but I just peel off shrimp shells with my hands.

Put it all in your mouth and spit out the shell? Peel with hands and then eat? I've seen relatives peel them with a knife and fork (takes a bit more time and skill) before eating. I opt for the first one myself. If people can slurp their noodles I can spit out shrimp shells. How do you eat the shrimp though? Put it all in your mouth and spit out the shell?

Still remember when I asked you why you didn't eat shrimp, you gave me an astonished answer: they have the shell on! Anyway, I’m glad at least you can eat unshelled shrimp now.

Only such an ancient culture could possibly appreciate what you call "Tri-cornered Demon Fruit." Besides, if it were so easy to eat, what else could people do for enjoyment with their 15 waking hours a day? The Chinese have 5000 years of culinary history.

Mea culpa. Yeah, they’re probaby nuts, but calling them “Demon Nuts” didn’t sound quite right. Mea culpa.

This way you feel more involved with your meal. It also keeps you from overeating. BTW those look like water chestnuts. Are you sure they are fruit?
