Populism Updates @PopulismUpdates Tell me your most radical position that cannot be placed on the left-right political spectrum

Admiral Snaccbar @Chris Mench Serving shrimp with the tail still on when it's already mixed into something (pasta, rice, etc) is insane.

Same with meat on the bone for me. Like... I love a biryani, but it's so much better when the chicken/lamb is boneless. I get that the bone imparts some flavor, but I don't think it's worth the effort and mess.

Anything I can't eat with my hands, should not be covered in a sauce that I don't want on my hands.

Fried shrimp with tails = fine. Bone-in chicken legs = fine. Bone-in chicken in biryani = not ordering. Shrimp with tail in pasta = sin against god and crime against humanity.

Buffalo wings violate that rule and I'm not prepared to give them up.

For me, the rule would be: if it's a dish meant to be eaten with utensils, don't include inedible parts that have to be separated by hand.

Ribs. I don't mind saucy ribs. I suppose if you are supposed to use your hands, maybe it's okay if they get a bit saucy.

Yeah I think that's the big thing: don't have a dish that requires shifting from utensil to fingers and back... especially if there's sauce.

I don't really like buffalo wings. I know boneless wings are basically just "nuggies", but I prefer them, especially if things are getting saucy.

A dry spice blend can make for acceptable wings, but I actually still prefer something like a spicy breading and a bigger piece of chicken, if I'm going to have to deal with bones.

But, I will admit that is a good border case, and isn't quite the sin that shrimp w/ tail covered in cream sauce is.
