It takes up half the body size of the shrimp. They are cousins to other crustaceans such as crabs and lobsters. They also are not far from insects on the old family tree, which is the reason some chefs call them "bugs."

With the price of food and other necessities steadily rising, we can all use a great deal. If you have children, finding a great deal or getting something for free can be a real treat. There are many restaurants that offer free meals for children under a certain age. This can be a real financial relief during difficult economic times.
The following is a list of restaurants where kids can eat for free:
IHOP: For children 12 years and under, they can eat at IHOP for free everyday. The hours of the free meal offer are from 4pm to 8pm. For each adult entree purchased, a child can have one free kids' menu item. The IHOP kids' menu includes cheese sandwiches, omelets, pancakes, cheeseburgers, eggs, French toast, chicken strips, and fish. Deals on various dishes will vary from one IHOP location to another.
Piccadilly: From Monday to Saturday, the Piccadilly offers children under the age of 6 free meals. The kids' meals normally include such food as grilled chicken, hot pockets, corn dogs, and chicken tenders. There are also dessert dishes offered which includes pudding, a cupcake, or jello. A kid's beverage also comes with the meal.
