Swallowing sheet iron would indeed puncture the body.

It punctures the body or else it gets the hors again

I could use more iron in my diet, but not if it tastes like sheet.

How are the the prawns cooked? They’re weld-done.

As if regular prawns weren’t unpractical enough to eat, now I need a can opener too.

No wonder the hors d’oeuvre is long-lived, if it is armored with sheet iron and punctures the body of everyone who tries to eat it…

It’s amazing that they taught a prawn to iron sheets. It probably started with handkerchiefs.

The Hors d’oeuvre date from the time of the warring states.

In fact they were left over from Sun Tzu’s christening party.

The sheet iron prawn has a nice crusty coating – sorry, I mean rusty.

The hors d’oeuvre looks a bit more minimalist than the menu would have you believe, but I’ve been wrong before
