Most labor-intensive foods to eat...

[RacerX]

Goddam these roasted/salted sunflower seeds!!

I've been eating them for half an hour and am now in a caloric deficit—and I thought pistachios were bad...

What are your picks for foods that meet the description in the thread title??

[deleted account]

what are you doing, opening each one by hand?

walnuts
almonds
pecans
anything you need a nutcracker for
pomegranates

[JemDooM]

A really hot curry, when your sweating and your mouth is on fire and you have to dare yourself to carry on good times...

I always say, the harder something is to eat, the tastier it is...

Spag Bol
An over filled burrito/fajita
Langoustines/king prawns/mussels
Artichokes
Corn on the cob

Is there some other way?

I suppose I could have just swallowed them, hulls & all, but that's way too much salt for me (& I love salty foods).

you gotta be kidding me.  take a small handful, throw 'em all in yo mouf, transfer to one cheek.  extract one at a time with teeth/ tongue, crack open with teeth, separate seed meat from shell with tongue, chew and swallow seed meat, spit out shell (without excess saliva).  repeat.  that's why they call sunflower seeds "spits"

also, crabs are labor-intensive to eat

Gott figure the unshelled sunflower seeds/pomegranate diet would be brutal.

[khoomeizhi]

hickory nuts. low-yield wild-collected stuff like wild bean. small animals with tiny bones. wasp and ant brood.

re: shell-in sunflower seeds: there's an incisor-to-incisor bite technique that cracks the seeds that wouldn't necessitate consuming all the salt. only your fingers and teeth need to touch the shell. faster than thumbnails.

[Chovie D]

oh yeah ..the small bone thing.

non-red lentils.  takes fucking forever and lots of concentration to completely separate a pound of them from rocks, dirt clods, tiny pieces of glass, etc.  where the fuck are they growing this shit?

Ribs, lobster, crab...

[deleted account]

how in the hell are ribs labor-intensive to eat?

[Demon Lung]

The cleanup man. What's your problem?

[deleted account]

that's just it, I don't have a problem eating ribs.  takes like half a second to wipe my face every few bites, and then I wash up after.  whoooooo!  laborious!

[Demon Lung]

Jesus fucking Christ you fucking mongoloid. Leave me alone. When I eat ribs and such I have to shampoo my beard and pick my teeth for a fucking hour. Very labor intensive you fucking mongoloid.

[deleted account]

so, I'm a fucking mongoloid for not having advance knowledge that you eat ribs like a 2-year-old with a beard?  a fucking mongoloid?

Yo priest instead of hanging on my nuts like a jungle gym like you have been doing why don't you and your girlfriend racer go clean some red lentils.
