The perch, I choked down. It must have been some sight to watch me eat the thing. The shrimp, however, is where I drew the line. I looked down at those little bodies, complete with tails, and ate 4 before I had to just put it down. Cold shimp is rubbery.
Cold shrimp is chewy.
I worked at a restaurant where I had to de-vein shrimp. Never fear, tho. I didn't race towards the golden arches for some real food. I forged ahead, like a real trooper. Really, a sweet guy.
