Oh great, now I see it's the $99 gown sale at David's Bridal -- I almost went in there yesterday! For um no reason, just potential entertainment.
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

What is even happening?
In a Chinese/Asian restaurant, the garlic prawns and lemon chicken sounds right, since both are fairly typical Chinese dishes. In a non-Chinese restaurant, I'm not sure I'd expect to see lemon chicken on the menu.
Okay, thank you. That's good to know.

Maybe I'll go get ringlets from a salon this week.
I endorse this plan of utter adorability!
Cindy, you see prawns listed on the menu all the time out here. I don't know if its just menuspeak or they're differentiating them from shrimp (bigger than shrimp?). Tigershrimp always looks exciting when you see it on a menu, that's for sure.

FWIW, Lee's experience matches mine on the East Coast. Lemon Chicken and Garlic Prawns sound very typical Chinese restaurant to me.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I can't recall ever seeing Lemon Chicken on a Chinese menu, but I admit I don't look at the meat section too often.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Lemon chicken is pretty standard on the Chinese restaurant menus I've seen. And it's of the yum.

Lemon chicken is common out here and one of the few things Emmett will eat off a chinese menu.

Hmm. Just checked several Chinese menus I had. All listed Lemon Chicken. Never noticed that before. (None had prawns in any form. All had shrimp. FWIW.)

Yeah, I did a little looking too, and now I don't know why prawns sounds so normal. Must be all that book-learnin.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I know there are several restaurants around here that use prawns, so I wouldn't think either shrimp or prawn was unusual.
