Do you know what this is?

[Big Lou]

Do I love lobster and crab? Heck yea! Plus shrimp and all kinds of fish. Basically, if it lives in water I like it!

 

[RobAmy]

Cool, I never seen those before.

Well then that makes sense TM. I don't know what I'd do w/o seafood. Do you TM and do you Lou like Lobster and Crab? If not than forever hold your peace and I now pronounce you ex-southerners for life

I like crab and shrimp, but again, not an LA native..... I think it's what you grow up with, and the only fish I grew up with was Friday school lunch -- fish sticks, LOL! I was an Air Force Brat: Arkansas Mom and Ohio (transplanted to CA) Dad, so had no real regional exposure or favorites.

Crawfish boil's are the best. I don't suck the heads but do love to eat the tiny tails. Add some Andouille sausage and some corn and potatoes and you've got a yummy meal. They serve it on a plywood table with a hole cut in the middle for the empty bodies. It is truly a unique southern dish.

Or served on a cardboard box cut-out tray

Crawfish boils are big Southern social events! (My hubby is from MS, where they call them crawfish "bowls," LOL! Took me a while to figure out his pronunciation of "boil"!)

If I can ever find any I will give them a try!

 

[tbendl]

That's it TM!! It's the best way to have a social meal that I've ever found.

Well, plan a trip to our part of the country next year, oh, around May..... Maybe New Orleans. The temps & humidity haven't cranked up too much that early on, but there will be plenty of fresh crawfish! Maybe we can plan a GPF meet!!

 

[tbendl]

I'm in!

 

[j.w]

Thanks TM that would be fun

My dad would not eat anything that had a shell. No crabs, no shrimp, no lobster. I never tasted them or wonderful rare meat until I left home for college. My mom cooked meat until it was like leather.

 

[tbendl]

Bleck. One of those family recipes you won't be passing down?

 

[j.w]

I would just die w/o my seafood and my raw meat
