[you can't stop her now that she's figured out how to use her shellphone with video and photo capabilities, and that means... she's going to be causing problems on purpose (and not on purpose)]

What in Storms name are THESE on my food??? Are they BUGS? Are they actually putting bugs on my food??

(not actually bugs, just shrimp, she doesn't know that)

I've eaten some questionable food, but never.... BUGS.

[Are shrimps bugs???? discuss.]

Comments

[truthspeaker]

Yes! They're bugs! If they were the only thing TO eat, perhaps I'd eat them, but not by CHOICE.

[activatingcombatmode]

Hey, don't knock it until you try it, though! You might find them pretty tasty!

[truthspeaker]

I would hardly qualify something with this many legs 'tasty', if they were still alive they'd crawl down my throat. That sounds less than appetizing. I'd rather eat the small chulls than that.

[activatingcombatmode]

Luckily in this case you're supposed to peel off the shell so you don't get legs in your mouth at all.

[truthspeaker]

You peel... a bug??

[REST ASSURED THERE IS A HORRIFIED FACE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PHONE because what??????]

[activatingcombatmode]

Yeah. You peel the bug and eat the fleshy inside. Yum.

[ZACK NO.]

[truthspeaker]

I don't think I've ever expected to peel a bug, that's absolutely vile.

[And maybe a new insult?? "You peeled cremling!" has a certain ring to it...]

Good for an insult, but I don't know if I'd want to peel and eat a bug.

[activatingcombatmode]

[That would be a killer insult to use on a corsair.]

Hey, to each their own! But trust me if you have it a try with a little butter and garlic you might be surprised.

Better yet, I'll buy it for you. If you don't like the first bite I'll eat the rest.
