I eat meat on the bone if it is a dish where I have an expectation that I will get food all over myself, which means two things: 1) fried chicken and 2) ribs, each of which I seldom eat more than once or twice a year. In the middle of a dish one is supposedly eating in a bowl with a utensil, picking a bone out of the dish and gnawing it just doesn't work for me.
And I love the taste of salt-and-pepper shrimp but the shells are just too nasty to chew, it's like eating fingernails. And since all the flavor is on the outside of the shells, if you peel them, the shrimp is bland.
