Is it worth my while participating in this forum or is it a closed shop?

That's another thing - prawns with their shells still on. No meal is improved by having to **** about dismembering crustacea. So if I order a seafood pasta or risotto, please have the ****ing decency to shell the ****ing prawns rather than asking me to dig my fingers into my dinner to do it. I know you think it looks good and I know I'm apparently supposed to be impressed because the prawn is entire rather than being - say - easily edible, but just stop it, ffs.

They're mad for that in Asia. Fantastic, mahoosive prawns, marinaded in amazing spicy flavours, stir-fried with the shells on.

Wánkers.

Yes. Singapore chilli crab is a good example. Delicious, but would be much more so if the idle fùcking coolie who cooked it had bothered his arse taking the bit I'm supposed to eat out of the inedible chitin so that I don't end up covered in chilli sauce and bits of crab juice.
