Clam, Crab: hazards of eating other no-longer-living beings

Last night while eating at the China Star in, um, *looks at map* Chandler, [livejournal.com profile] votania had some of the clams. She likes seafood more than I do.

She discovered that one of her dinner clams had, shortly before being harvested, eaten a very small baby crab. It was very small, very cute, and (of course) very dead.

It was sufficiently cool that we wrapped it in a napkin (and later put it in an empty fortune cookie bag and tied it in my handkerchief) and brought it home. We'll put it in a little jar with some kind of preservative or other, and let Little Fayoumis take it to school for show-and-tell. Someone always brings in something delightfully gross like that.
