When I worked in Texas long ago, I went to a restaurant that specialized in sea foods. I ordered some shrimp and also asked how they fixed them. I was asked if I "wanted bald shrimp?" I looked at my wife and she being a great cook, I expected that I just wasn't familiar with that kind of cooking. The blank stare I got back told me I was wrong. I asked the waitress again about the shrimp and again I was told that had bald shrimp. I asked how they fix them and I then figured out what she was saying. She told me that they take a large pot a "balling" water and then throw the shrimp in until they are "bald" completely thru. After I got done laughing, I order my fresh dinner of "bald shrimp". Canadians have nothing on us as far as needing a translater! :B
