When I eat peanuts, I eat the shell.

One time I was in LA at a restaurant and my co-worker ordered an edamame appetizer for us to share.

I ate the whole thing, "skin" and all.

People at adjacent tables were staring at me like I was a horror from a Steven King novel.

@eriner i can practically hear their monocles clinking onto their plates.

@Richard lol.

At least all they did was stare.

Once when I was on-site for an assessment, my co-workers saw me eating peanuts (including the shell) and spent the next two weeks trying to convince me I had pica.

@eriner Same thing happened to me. How was I to know?

@krisjs1767 it is very chewy and fibrous, but I actually don't find that off-putting.

As should be obvious to all by now, I'm pretty weird tho.

I can certainly see why people would find it unappealing.

@eriner I'll have to try that.

@eriner do you eat shrimp like this too, shell and all?

@eriner I do that with sunflower seeds. Shell and all. Bit of added fiber. Dry shell on peanuts with salt requires too much water intake to offset it.
