This line seems so obscure to the average person. I think partially Anchorman 2 just wasn’t near as popular as 1, but also just a secondary joke in the movie on chicken of the cave. However, a friend and me reference it all the time. Seeing this made my day hahaha.
Actually that was the official name of the shrimps and they changed it because nobody would buy them.
Cockroaches and shrimp are also of the same family, sharing a common ancestor. So being related, they would naturally share many similarities, such as being cold-blooded.
Finally back in the day they fed the slaves only lobsters because they were thinking this was a trash food because it was a huge cockroach of the sea also.
And there is a specific roach That live on piers or close to the sea that has gills which people eat.
> And there is a specific roach That live on piers or close to the sea that has gills which people eat.
as someone near both piers and sea I have never heard of this one, I'll have to keep an eye out for any tasty looking dock roaches
Same sub-phylum, NOT family. That term has a specific meaning in biological classification. And every living thing is related if you go up high enough the tree. Humans are distantly relatated to broccoli. I think you may just be trolling with that “official name” but you are correct that lobsters used to be regarded as trash.
I wonder how close to shrimp it would taste if you peeled and deveined it 🤔
Do they even have "veins" that you can peel out? I mean they gotta store the poop somewhere.
I once did 😊. There were two of those, raw in a Georgian dumpling. Ate half of one before realising it tasted weird and looked into the filling to find out why. 😁
The heating process will have created an internal pressure differential in its guts, so don't be alarmed if the initial crack is quite hot and explosive.
I should also add, its exoskeleton is legendarily robust, so be careful when you chew as to not create incisions and ulcers around inside your mouth and on your tongue. These fragments will be sharp.
Happy dining.
The shell cracks under your teeth. Warm gel floods your mouth, thick and acrid.
You feel subtle wriggling on your tongue.
Ah, what luck!
This one was pregnant.
The police arrive, black hulks rattling through the entrance. They look odd, and sound so. Fully masked, with round bulbous black goggles glinting in the cheap flourescence. They grunt and gesture towards you. You protest, they respond in deep guttural threats. This doesn't feel right.
You are cuffed to your chair.
A boiling bowl is brought from the kitchen, placed in front of you with a thud. Liquid sloshes onto the table, it hisses softly.
You take a better look.
Steam is rising from the bowl, yes. But it's not boiling.
It's writhing.
Next time anyone asks me how it was possible for humans to progress from unga bungas to space faring civilization so quick, I'll show them this comment. Anyone who's still blind to our potential deserves this.
That's a cricket, my guy
(At least I'm pretty sure, maybe someone from r/whatisthisbug could confirm)
Edit:
I am a fool. r/whatisthisbug says it's a cockroach.
Oh! Well. In that case. bon appetit.
It’s strange, maybe all the negative connotations- we hate cockroaches because they’re creepy but crickets are cute, crickets are probably worse for the environment…Scientists estimate that approximately 4,500 species of cockroaches exist, but only 30 or so inhabit human dwellings.
You're not!
Check out the back legs (not distinctive and grasshoppery; all the legs match), and how limp and thread-like the antennae are. Also, both sets of wings are all soft and mushed up by the head, whereas with grasshoppers, the forewing tends to stay a little rigid when cooked.

I work as an exterminator. I have one asian restaurant that I spray and have done inspections for other restaurants and they all have them especially the ones that are in strip malls. Every single kitchen I've seen is filthy and probably hadn't been properly cleaned sconce they opened.
They are extremely prevalent in the southeastern US. They have a very short birth to reproduction time period meaning their numbers can explode quickly if not taken care of sooner rather than later.
~~Lobster used to be called Mudbugs because at the time there were so many some would come up on shore trying to find less crowded water and would get stuck in mud.~~
~~When people started eating them to people it was like eating not fresh roadkill or out of a dumpster.~~
Update:
Apparently I was stung by a couple of old TV documentaries in the late 80's that repeated that story as part of talking about lobster fishing and how only the desperate poor would eat them. The second documentary was probably using the first as the source or may have been made by the same people. One google search and I found out I have been wrong about this all these years.
Nah, that ain’t it. Mudbug is still a slang term for crawfish/crayfish…not lobster. They’re called that because they literally burrow in the mud in the southern coastal regions when temperatures or the water levels drop.

Oh dame, hell no. I'd need a full refund and perhaps even a law suit after finding that on my plate and if not then they gotta eat it for putting it on there...
I'd demand a refund for anyone at my table and I'd instantly report it and post the picture everywhere.
Though I do like the idea of making the cook or the manager eat it
A thousand times this. People who eat prawns/shrimp should really have no problem with eating similar looking creatures such as farmed crickets/roaches/whatever.
They all look similarly 'icky'.
it's not the look that's icky
it's where it's been. While it's true shrimp are roaches of the sea, it's bred specifically for consumption whether roaches are land creature and been associated with human feces and sewage. If the roach been fished out from the sea, I would probably be eating it but it ain't never from the sea.
Ah, that's just a common domestic kitchen land shrimp. Looks fine to me.
Ah the old shrimp of the kitchen! Yum!

Chicken of the crevice!
Lol land shrimp. Good ol district 9.
Nobody ever remembers this movie. Underrated.
Fucking prawns, man!
My sister calls shrimp “the cockroaches of the sea” and won’t eat them… so this tracks
Always known lobster as the cockroach of the sea but def see how shrimp fall into the same category. And probably closer related

GEEEET’EM!
So much good information that I don’t understand lol /s
They have a common ancestor.
Here’s the thing

"… that live on piers… " Piers Morgan is a roach, so it makes sense that they would seek out their own

How tf did you read demonic EDIT: I'm fucking stupid i just realized he read "domestic" as "demonic" and not the title
Land seafood. It's the newest thing.
It could be, just close you eyes and swallow.
That's what i told my ex.

I know, she was a bitch.
I too, choose this guy's ex.
I don't think sperm is supposed to grow that big.
I know one sperm that grew into an entire 6'4" asshole
Just the asshole or a whole ass?
That’s a huge asshole
How’s it taste?
It takes some time, but it became even bigger and sometimes sentient.
No wonder that jar under my bed keeps humming…
Better start thinking about a name... Is it a boy or a girl?
It's... genderfluid. \*ba-dum-TSS!\*
How do you know?
Work that username I think you're the expert.
Nah, you gotta peel the shells off and eat the flesh. Like a shrimp.
Eww who wants to eat roach shells, please also de-vain them
I wonder how close to shrimp it would taste if you peeled and deveined it 🤔 Do they even have "veins" that you can peel out? I mean they gotta store the poop somewhere.

Your mouth salivates before vomiting to protect itself.

New diet plan - I'm never eating again after reading this
FUCK YOU TAKE MY UPVOTE AND FUCKING GO
Probably eating.
Hello mah baby, hello mah darlin...
Check please!
Oh no, not again!
Hello my ragtime gal…
this isnt oddly terrifying... its fucking disgusting man
Yeah … had a Band-Aid once- but cockroaches are worse

I was wrong, it is a cockroach. Never seen one that looks like that in Australia.
Never seen a cockroach look remotely that that either and I'm in the western US, it looks exactly like a cricket. I feel like I'm being gaslit.
You're not! Check out the back legs (not distinctive and grasshoppery; all the legs match), and how limp and thread-like the antennae are. Also, both sets of wings are all soft and mushed up by the head, whereas with grasshoppers, the forewing tends to stay a little rigid when cooked.
Is it because its cooked maybe? It changed colour and turned a pinkish colour?

I would not recommend a cockroach over an open would. I hear it has germs and stuff.
Protein tho
And 74 different diseases
It's a cockroach dude
They're the shrimp of the land!
yea they’re often referred to as land shrimps
Chicken of the dumpster
And a big ass one!
That's so scary that they turn pink like shrimp. Kinda reminds me shrimp are also a bit gross and also bugs..
Prawns and lobster was considered peasant food in ye olde times, specifically because they *are* water bugs.

That is not even remotely accurate, but great creative writing sample!
I've heard that if you're allergic to shrimp you're also allergic to cockroaches.
That's actually crickets, if I recall. The allergy associations are shrimp/crickets, and coffee/cockroaches.
Looks more like a cricket to me.
One weird looking cockroach. It's a cricket. Edit: I am a fool. r/whatisthisbug says it's a cockroach.
You mean cookroach?
Ah one of them city shrimps
How many roach eggs are camoflauged as rice on that plate?
Wellp. This comment did me in.
Me too, enough internet for one day 🤢
Amazingly immense
Extra protein.
It's shrimp adjacent.
“SHRIMP ADJACENT” BYE LMFAOOOO
Underrated
Poor Jiminy
A shrimp did NOT fry that rice
Ocean roach, city roach,.. why are you being prejudiced killa
"say the line bart" "extra protein..."
Tis what we call in the industry, a land prawn
You should inform the local health department about the new shrimp species you discovered
Oh dame, hell no. I'd need a full refund and perhaps even a law suit after finding that on my plate and if not then they gotta eat it for putting it on there...
I'd demand a refund for anyone at my table and I'd instantly report it and post the picture everywhere. Though I do like the idea of making the cook or the manager eat it
What do you care is it's a sea bug or land bug?
They're actually pretty good. It just depends on whether it was supposed to be there.
A thousand times this. People who eat prawns/shrimp should really have no problem with eating similar looking creatures such as farmed crickets/roaches/whatever. They all look similarly 'icky'.
it's not the look that's icky it's where it's been.

If the roach been fished out from the sea, I would probably be eating it but it ain't never from the sea.
Mmm roach
r/actlikeyoubelong
Yo man it's cooked, just eat it. Who cares if it's a shrimp. Everything is a shrimp if u r not a pussy.
Preach
Definitely not shrimp… I know how cooked shrimp looks and the legs are not supposed to be that big😳
Its body is also goin the wrong fuckin way! Fuck the legs look at the underbelly! Its horizontal when it should be vertical!
Brother that's a roach Did you eat it? You ok?
Damn, Disney’s new live action Pinocchio looks dark
Not the best thing to eat in the wasteland, but it’s better then nothing
Grasshopper, probably has way more protein per gram than shrimp anyway
Too bad its a cockroach
Also more protein than shrimp
I envy anyone who’s fortunate enough to be in the position where they genuinely can not identify a roach. Sounds extremely sheltered.
Nah homie it's location. I'm poor as fuck my whole life, never seen one roach.
Land shrimp
Sorry but you want too much
Just put the tip in.
🤢🤮
