Lemon chicken is pretty standard on the Chinese restaurant menus I've seen. And it's of the yum.
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

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

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
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.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

If I were reading a story that had people ordering garlic prawns and lemon chicken, I would not be thrown. I'd think they were eating Chinese, like you all said.
Speaking of eating, I had fresh, local corn for dinner, and it was so, so, so delicious.

I wanted to eat tapas tonight, but not enough to justify driving home, showering, and changing into clothes that didn't smell like I had sex in them. Helooo drive-thru chicken sandwich.

I thought in America prawns were the biggest ones? Cue George Carlin "jumbo shrimp." I like lemon chicken but not like I like cashew chicken.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
so while finishing up stuff in the chicken I knocked a half-full can of tomato sauce off the counter. In an attempt to see the good in everything:
- That side of the kitchen floor is now hand scrubbed and doesn;t have to be mopped tomorrow
- It was only half-full
- not all of it spilled, so pizza later this week is still a go
- It didn't get on me, the walls, or anything that will stain
- It was a can not glass
