We went out for dinner tonight to John Dory and I ordered prawns.
They were yum but the kids were funny :). We don’t often go to fish restaurants and Connor couldn’t remember me ever eating prawns before.
So when they arrived at the table Connor looked at them very skeptically. After a while he piped up…
“My granny had prawns in her garden”
Lol I had to explain that these came from the sea and weren’t quite the same as the parktown prawns (which are the ugliest scariest looking insects ever). He wasn’t impressed and eventually asked to switch places with Bradley because he didn’t like the smell or the looks of the feelers.
Then when I’d finished he looked at the shells on the plate strangely and said “why didn’t you eat the prawns?”
LOL I explained again that I set the meat inside the shell and you can’t eat the head, eyes, shell and tail.
Bradley rolls his eyes and retorts “That’s not a shell that’s an exoskeleton”
And when we got home, I googled photos of both to show them the difference because it turned out that he wasn’t happy with any of my explanations, and he was still convinced I’d eaten Parktown prawns for dinner.

Hahahahaha! How cute!! I used to refuse to eat prawns unless they were cleaned!! Hahaha
Hahaha!! I remember when I was little I really didn’t like to sit next to my dad why he ate prawns/crab etc either… But he sucks the juices out of the head and the shells (or rather, the exoskeleton! Wahaha)
Ps I had prawns tonight – so I’ve obviously gotten over myself! :p
I’m sure once that black ink squirted in your mouth you wouldn’t eat them again!
Ooops !! I shall have to do more explaining 🙂
LOL at Brad, ‘the professor’ as his Gr 1 teacher used to call him !
Hahaha, well thank goodness you didn’t have parktown prawns for dinner – yuck!
Prawns freak me out when they show up at the table with their exoskeleton and head and feelers and eyes all intact. I quite like the meat but bring me the whole prawn and I’m reminded that it’s a sea gogga.
LOL!!!
