Ok the general theory regarding SF is that you can get any question answered. Thats my general theory at least.

So.

My daughter loves shrimp. She eats them by the tub load, and instead of sweets, she insists on them.

When I was a kid, my mother used to buy me bags of them from the Castle market and to eat them, you had to tear off their heads, then rip off their legs, then take off the shell and eat whats left. Im sure most of you have done this.

The shrimp that my kid scoffs are already de-headed, legged and shelled.

The question is, Do they have a machine to do this or do people do it?

For gods sake, TELL ME or I`ll find out where you live and sing Christmas carols at you all year long!

Damn! I had horrible images of sweat shops with kids doing the peeling thing for a penny an hour!

Thanks for that!
