When grandaunty made this dish final time, she’ll carve up the prawns as amid family unit members. The children have tiffin in addition to dinner at dwelling house, and the adults solely have dinner. If we’ve eaten all our prawns past luncheon, so it’sec no more past dinner. No stealing!!! So, nosotros’ll swallow half of our component part and salve the residuum for dinner.
