Thread: Crawfish Boil Today

Had a nice crawfish boil today. Very good eating and had a fun time. If you've never had boiled crawfish then you need to give it a try -- at least once. But anyway, I ate a couple of mudbugs for you guys and drank a beer for ya too.

Have you ever had boiled crawfish Steve? Very good stuff --- like little lobsters I guess (probably not as clean) but spicy and good. We put potatoes , sausage, mushrooms and other goodies in the boil as well -- they pick up the spices and flavor. If you're a real crawfish eater then after you pull off the tail of the crawfish ,you crush and suck the head of the crawfish --- sounds disturbing but it is really good. And beers not necessary to enjoy the event --- just fill it in with your beverage of choice.

You know it is funny how people tend to show up at crawfish boils --- they come out of the woodworks ---- you look around and say " Do I know you? --- Oh what the hell we have plenty". But it is a good eat -- and the spirit of the event is just as important. As they say "Laissez les bon temp roulez!"

I've never had crawfish. Up here, we do clam bakes very similar to what you do. If it's a true BAKE, a pit is dug and the clams, potatoes, etc is wrapped in cheesecloth, tossed into the pit and the pit is covered. It's baked by using burning wood and hot rocks. The other way is a clamboil which is just the same as your crawfish boil.

Man that sounds good too. I like the seafood. We have total seafood dinners around here sometimes: boiled crabs, boiled shrimp, fried shrimp, fried and raw oysters, maybe fried soft-shell crabs, fried catfish --- all on a platter. Very good. I'd say I have a certain affinity for the ocean, seafood and the whole culture associated with it . I like clams too (clam chowder) ---- very good stuff.

Boy, Jaeger-dude, that sounds good....but it sure can't hold a candle to an 'Idaho Potato Bake'...get a bunch of buddies together, grab a bunch of potatoes...throw 'em in the oven...350 degrees for an hour.....sit around and look at each other while they bake (we don't talk much up here)....pop 'em out of the oven and eat 'em up with a glass of water.....


-h-m-m....


....actually, YOUR thing sounds like a LOT more fun....


...when's the next one?
