March of the Crayfish

Xiao long xia season has arrived and the city is tearing these little crayfish limb from limb.
It's not pretty but it sure as hell is tasty, and on any given street you can see hitherto civilised people jostling and pushing their way to the front of queues that lead into the bustling canteens where the little crustaceans are being served.
This is not a rarefied experience. After waiting half an hour for a spot, you get marched to one of the formica tables and are packed in, sat down and given a menu.
