Live prawns? Wow. To this day, I go through a split-second of recoil when I'm handed shrimp with the legs still on -- because I've got relatives who refused to remove the legs from crawdads because that amounted to wasting food. And that's... well, it's an awful lot of legs, and only two steps removed from, well, other creatures with lots-of-legs. Like, say, SPIDERS. Somehow the association stuck (or maybe it was an older boy-cousin teasing me by bringing up the lots-of-legs connection) and as much as I could live for shrimp... I could only live for them as long as they're legless.

Damn boy-cousins.
