I used to work in a seafood restaurant, and there was a counter for selling fresh fish. A lady came in and asked to buy some "swimps". Very seriously I asked "what size shrimp?" She said "beeg swimps!" And I swear I didn't mean to, but out of my mouth came "O! You mean pwawns!" The guy next to me was no help he just sank beneath the counter in fit of silent laughter. She gave me a look of such venom I stepped back the apologetic expression on my face very real, but before I could say anything else she stormed out. Go ahead - say it out loud - "pwawns"

I usually start by boiling the prawns, then serve them up with some cocktail sauce. Sometimes in the summer I move them onto the grill.

Guess we're not the only ones who love prawns. It's still unclear if this is a typo or he really plays chess with prawns instead of pawns.
