UKC

We went out the other night to celebrate a family event. I ordered a king prawn pizza. When it arrived it had 5 small prawns on it, about the size that you would have in a ready made sandwich. I was expecting those larger prawns and certainly more than five. I didn't say anything as I didn't want to spoil the evening.

Thoughts?

Hope it was Mon-Wed and you got the 50% discount!

Sounds like the prawns were reduced by 50%....

They would shrink when cooked in an oven, but I still think u wuz robbed.

I have a friend who's an ex-professional chef and is notorious for calling out the staff on things like this, while we all try to hide under the table; after all, this is Britain. His usual finale is "I don't care what you do with it".

Prawns on pizza?  That's where you went wrong.

King Prawns are delicious but sadly an environmental disaster and more....

If you care for our planet and oceans please don't eat king prawns!

they would have been called shrimps back when I was growing up.  Perhaps they have monarchs as well as prawns?

Go Brexit, Trade with Thailand More!

Brilliant ska-core band from the 90s/00s. For what it’s worth, ‘Got the Thirst’ is my favourite of their albums.  

a prawn that has entered into a symbiotic relationship with the church to provide spiritual legitaimacy to its rule. otherwise known as the divine right of kings

U R Cneifon Arete / AEITB and I claim my £5!

I don't know about King Prawns, but a Queen Prawn is an ordinary prawn that has got all the way to the other side of the board and been promoted.

You should have shouted to the nearest staff: 'Call this a '-king prawn?'

Staff..... Ok, it's a -king prawn.

From your link....

"Most king prawns (which includes some fairly small prawns)"

Although no-one should be surprised by that. Loads of kings throughout history have been short / of short stature

Were any wearing crowns?

If not, you’ve been royally ripped off.

I'm a crustacean republican.

‘What is a King Prawn’

Jeez dudes, it’s the little piece that sits in front of the King, guarding it from those nasty Bishops and Knights. Get off your Play Stations and play a proper game. 

Went for a curry once at one of these country houses that were converted to curry restaurants.

I had Bengal Tiger Prawn Madras.

The prawns were about 6” long. Superb .

Insane how someone can post a link that explains prawn harvesting is an environmental disaster that uses slave labour and everyone ignores that and just descends into joking about prawns wearing crowns. 

Shrimps are also the same, in their environmental impact and the near slave labour used.

It's another corner of the world which turns out to be dark, there's laws in Thailand designed to protect the environment, but nobody pays any attention to them.

It's a daily mail link.

The message may well be true but I'm certainly not going to accept anything on that site as being true without a more credible source to back it up. And, because I'm justifiably sceptical of anything written there, I don't see a lot of point in following the link.

I find simply ignoring daily mail clickbait links to be the best policy, even if occasionally they may turn out to have been worth reading in the way that Peter may actually have seen a wolf.

How about the Guardian?

total sense of humour failure.

35 likes?? Obviously never had a frutti di mare pizza in an Adriatic fishing village. Yum!

You'll be glad to hear there's a complaining in restaurants thread!

You're much too restrained

Yeh hard to find some dad jokes about prawns wearing crowns that funny after reading up on what goes into producing them..

Convert to Islam or Judaism and you won't have to worry about prawns again 😁

You'll get a whole new set of things to worry about.

Then they could revert back and become a prawn again Christian 

But you have to shell out a lot to do that

I think that's a very shellfish attitude. 

Eating them's even more shellfish!

You can't mussel in on this conversation

Stop being so crabby.

Why did the prawn get upset?

Because the sea weed on him.

The old ones are the best ones.

Right I'm going to clam up
