One evening, he declared that he wanted crabs. I don't particularly fancy crabs. All I know how to eat are the claws. Crabs give me an allergic reaction, so not much of it would be eaten. Anyway, out we went looking for crabs.
We were served a giant crab each poached in white wine with a side of angel hair pasta in light tomato sauce. It was a huge Sri Lankan with a shell that was the size of my two palms put together. Stared at both plates. The crabs were served whole.
The man patted my head and took my plate. "Come, I'll crack and peel it for you." Heh. A-cracking he went with the nutcracker. He dug out the flesh for me. If he didn't, I wouldn't be eating any crab meat at all!By and by, I wondered what those brown puffy streaks underneath the shell were.
"Lungs." the man pronounced. "Unedible."
Eeeeeeek.
