How to have your crab ... and eat it, too
You're out in a restaurant that would certainly rank above the average noodle house, the table cloths are white and starched and some kindly soul has the class (and funds) to order lobster, or maybe crab, at which point the doomed critters are promptly sieved out of their miserable tank, boiled and served. In their shells. Impenetrable. Leaving you to make the choice between politely pinning them down with your chopsticks and securing a small pinch of flesh, due decorum all the while maintained in keeping with the starched white table cloths, or else throwing caution to the wind, along with your chopsticks, and getting stuck in like Obelix at a victory banquet.
