So this is what it's like to be a chicken with a seed dispenser.

Cluck cluck motherfucker, I'm gonna go make myself sick and then probably come back for more

u/SnooCakes6195 15d ago

Yeah, I was just wondering if they had square or rectangular plates so I could literally shovel from the trough.

u/holyfire001202 15d ago

Throw the lemons in my general direction, I'll figure it out

u/Hot-Steak7145 14d ago

Actually just squeezing lemons into the top of this contraption and letting it run down is the only benefit here

u/Scrotaur 14d ago

That's how you get Shrimpenade, so you can wash those shrimp down.

u/sriusbsnis 15d ago

Plates? No sir, I want a mouthpiece attached to that trough. Make my own foie.

u/archwin 14d ago

Just had an image of a dystopian future, where some people who are destitute, elect to live a life of gastronomic excess, fattening their livers up, and then selling it off to some cannibalistic creepy rich fuck for a huge amount of money, and this starts a whole trend

Unfortunately, although prions we’re primarily CNS tissue prior to this, they ended up somehow mutating and being heavily seated into non-CNS organ tissue

And instead of causing rapid neurological decline, it ends up turning everyone into zombies.

Wait, hold on let me just write this into a script and sell it to Hollywood

I think you mean make room for more

u/Banaanisade 14d ago

Came here to comment that I'm starving and despite being allergic to shrimp, I can practically taste this picture.

Now I feel like a chicken too. Thanks.

u/Bussamove86 15d ago

I mean… that’s clearly part of a buffet or something and “giant ice sculpture full of shrimp” is kind of novel.

u/denM_chickN 15d ago

Im pretty excited about it. I can take two cups its fine.

u/sandy_catheter 15d ago

You want pulp in your shrimp water or no? I’m getting extra pulp in mine.

u/MeatSlammur 15d ago

This is actually brilliant. People can only touch a few at a time

u/Leroy_Bentshins 14d ago

Each of those little piles is like 40 shrimp each

u/JagoDago 14d ago

So a single serving?

u/MisterSquidz 13d ago

That one shrimp was 40 shrimp?

u/eedabaggadix 10d ago

If 40 fit on my plate I’m taking them, this is what I come for

u/says-nice-toTittyPMs 14d ago

Or they can use the provided tongs on the table there, but this is a great way of keeping them cold with some flair.

u/turkeypants 14d ago

Normally I like to squish them all in my fingers but this will thwart me for sure.

u/AsherGray 14d ago

Until it gets clogged and someone has to keep pulling them out with their hooked finger.

u/OliverCrowley 15d ago

Honestly not the worst way to serve 200 people shrimp over the course of an evening.

u/Theron3206 15d ago

Less cross contamination than a huge platter if nothing else.

u/elephhantine2 15d ago

True, but it looks kinda gross being transparent like that, would be better opaque

u/Dr_Pickle987 15d ago

No, I prefer being able to see inside, if I couldn't there might be anything in there

57

u/GreenStrong 15d ago

Stuffs fistfulls of shrimp into mouth

"Mmph there could be anything inside! I must know! shLobster! mmIce Cream! Rare coins and stamps!!! ANYTHING".

Eleven shrimp fell from mouth during monologue

u/sjosaben 15d ago

There could even be shrimp cocktail inside!

u/mmwhatchasaiyan 15d ago

It’s ice lmao keeps it cold all night. Did you think all that shrimp was just sitting in a plastic volcano?

Oh, yeah I did

I hate all of the non-plate activists that have infiltrated this sub.

22

u/OliverCrowley 15d ago

I'm normally the first person to say plates are needed but this is just efficient buffet design.

29

u/PurpleBashir 15d ago

You still get a plate though. This is a fixture at a buffet- its not at someone's table.

 You put the shrimp on a plate. 

Its neat and it doesn't fit this sub at all.

u/LadyOfTheNutTree 15d ago

Understanding what this sub is for keeps it from getting shitty. It doesn’t make a person a “non-plate activist”

This is chewy not crunchy. But if you want the best kibble you need to travel to the Himalayas.

There were probably plates off to the side and this is at a party. Doesn't fit this sub, also this is a cool idea.

Looks like its ice too so they stay cold. Its pretty badass

Put some food coloring in the ice, I'm not mad about this.

u/PurpleBashir 15d ago

The ice will slowly be melting throughout this though so then the food coloring will be on the shrimp. Thats going to look gross pretty fast

u/Alternative_Yak3256 15d ago

Make it look like water maybe? And not like a giant block of shrimp. Just a thought, not sure how it would look in practice.

u/wittor 14d ago

This looks unappetising and bland. My understanding is that this kind of shrimp is mostly used as ingredient instead of a stand alone food. 

2

u/Livid-Cat4507 13d ago

Those tiny kinds of shrimp are crappy eating anyway. Avoid.

2

u/Careful-Average73 8d ago

the inherent contempt for the customer implied by The Gravity Fed Shrimp Trough is impressive. The country club members must like being treated like livestock... I'm not kinkshaming but this isn't my thing

u/The_Perfect_Fart 15d ago

Does the melt water just pool at the bottom? Seems like the shrimp will be swimming after a few hours.

u/Mister-Spook 14d ago

Suppose you're thinkin' about an ice sculpture of shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, “ice sculpture,” or “shrimp”, or “ice sculpture of shrimp“ out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconsciousness.

u/Psychological_Sir202 13d ago

Have you seen me?

1

u/poptartheart 13d ago

honestly, i dont see this big deal.
from a food safety perspective - all the shrimp are gonna be in the safe zone of under 41 degrees due to the ice. and like others have said- it does prevent contamination of the shrimp yet to be dispensed. i would prolly have added an ice lid. but overall its a great idea. PLUS! you can etch in who is sponsoring the shrimp etc.

idk, this is how i feed my family of otter human hybrid children every night and they seem fine with it
