Which is a fashionable lark for most.
Not real. Everyday.

Authentic Thai food is made with pepper, aint it Jeff?

Wish I had Captain Ahab's crew to clean up my kitchen...

A simple dish of pad thai. Spelling may be wong, but I believe the recipe was correct.

Add cruched peanuts, a twist of lime, some chillies that we grew over the summer and a few slices of cucumber.
I added a snack pack of chilli peas that we picked up at an Asian market just for kicks. Not too shabby for a quick dinner fix.

Looking good by why oh why do people leave the tails on prawns when they cook them?. Is fishing through the dish with your fingers then removing them then cleaning your fingers then eating with utensils really fucking necessary??!. Or do people just like the crunch of un-shelled prawn in their mouth?

^ Nah. Me also. Meat in a pad Thai?

Dried shrimp and fresh shrimp mostly.

Don't feel alone. Even if I had a better camera I have no skills in photography...food or otherwise. It's why I don't do personal food pics.

I've wondered that myself...

I guess because it's the way they're sold here for the most part. So people just chuck em in tail and all. You'll get the tails in a lot of restaurants too.

When the prawns are packaged they take the shell off(aka peeled, on some not all) why not remove the tail as well?

example:

Purchasing

Shrimp are available fresh or frozen, whole, headless, shell-on, peeled, peeled and deveined, and tail-on.
The most common form is "green headless" (raw, head-off, shell-on).
"Peeled shrimp" (shell removed) are sold in a variety of forms including "PUD" (peeled undeveined), "P&D" (peeled and deveined) and "Tail-on" (peeled with the tail fin and adjacent shell segment left on).

Personal preference I suppose. If I was being churlish, I would venture to say that that is how they came out of the freezer and the Isaan Egon Ronay didn't know how to or couldn't be bothered to remove them before the meat was cooked and shrunk away from the shell.

However, the shell adds more seafood flavour to the dish, so it has that going for it. Also, more pertinently for Fishy, he can grip the tail in his fingers and feed one to his love without the risk of it slipping from his fingers and falling into her ravenous bosom, only to be seen again when the weather warms up and she has a shower... sometime in March.

If you don't reside on or near one of the coasts and you're eating prawns/shrimp in the US, they're gonna be frozen for the most part.

But of course. In Scotland, they catch the prawns, freeze them, send them to Thailand to be shelled, and sent back. Cheaper than doing it in the UK.

Shipping must be cheap now...I wonder if the same is happening here with Gulf shrimp.

Actually I think I read somewhere at one time that the majority of shrimp used in the US is imported from Thailand. Gulf Coast and southern Atlantic shrimpers can't keep up with the demand...or something like that.

I think America imposed tariffs on Thai shrimp, Thailand retaliated by banning American turkeys, thus no Butterballs.
