Never really cared for crab.

But oh! what joy, when I discovered during Lent that Dairy Queen (of which 
there is one just down the road from my home) sells popcorn shrimp.

(Lent, in Orthodoxy, is an agonizing two-month period (40 days? pshaw!) in 
which we are officially not permitted to eat any meat or animal products 
of any kind ... with the exception of dairy during the first week and fish 
on Palm Sunday and March 25 ... and, curiously, with the exception of 
shellfish, which is basically permitted *every* day.  So, we go all-vegan 
... except for shellfish.  I have no idea why that might be, though a part 
of me worries that it might have been intended on some level as a snub 
against the Jewish food laws, which don't allow Jews to eat shellfish 
*ever*.)
