Thread: Crawfish Boil Today

---- Lou if you're a good example of an Idahoan (?) then you guys are too funny and creative to have a boring ol' Potato Bake. ---- unless in some self-deprecating type of way ---- Northern Idaho , a land of milk and honey, rivers , mountains, trees, wildlife galore. --- if you want potatoes then go elsewhere - and if you come across a guy named Lou , don't mention potatoes unless you want to leave with a potato sticking out of your rear but he'll to be happy to discuss shaving with ya.

(by the way --- not everyone from Louisiana is a Cajun --- similar to Lou and the potato)

I visited the crawfish festival in when I was in Louisiana in the mid-eighties.
I love them!

Nothing like a really good crawfish boil. Smokin' hot spiced crawfish, corn on the cob, sausage, lots of cold beer... spread 'em out on newspaper and get to it. Now dat's livin' YEAH! I lived in New Orleans for a few years and crawfish boils were my favorite thing besides the two Loyola girls I was seeing.

Idaho.... hmm... not much in Northern Idaho but cedar trees, free range cattle, a gazillion acres of logging country to hunt, elk, moose, bear, snowshoe hares, the dumbest turkeys to ever stand there while you're shooting at them, lots of chantarelles and morels (mushrooms) and smallmouth bass lakes aplenty. But don't tell anyone because it's a well-kept secret.

I remember we went camping once and we caught a bunch of crawfish out of the lake. Now crawfish boils are not common in Arizona, but we had so many that we boiled em up and I watched my brother and cousin eat em. Sadly I could not participate. I am allergic to shell fish .

Lou I'd give up a season of crawfish boils to experience some of that Idaho beauty ----never have skied before , would like to fly-fish for trout, hell haven't seen too much snow, mountain views, clear water, clear brooks and streams -- if I went there it looks like I would be the most polluted thing around -- I might shrivel up like a germ in an antiseptic bath. Looks beautiful my man ---- keep it a secret as long as possible.

OK, after seeing those pictures, I must put Idaho on my must see list of states. Lou, thanks for posting those. I dream of living in country like that.

Jaeger-dude;
I just went back and really looked at each one of your pics - that looks like a LOT of fun! - I see buckets of crawfish and spuds...and I read from one of your later posts that there's sausage and mushrooms - what about the spices? Any idea what spices they use in the boil?
