My friend Dran stopped in

[Boudie]

He was a short drive from the swamp so Dran stopped in for breakfast and a cigar! Always good to share a smoke with you buddy. Hope you enjoyed your first crawfish and the New Orleans bread pudding.

First mudbugs, nice!!

 

[Boudie]

I think the crawfish will be an aquired taste for him. He was fine until I started digging the good stuff out of the heads. That's when he moved on to the andouille.

Guess you guys eat crayfish like we (Delaware) eat blue crabs.

I was pleasantly surprised! I have an aversion to most anything that swims, The mud bugs were just too much work, the andoullie was already unwrapped and ready to eat. Crawfish join Scallops, shrimp, clams, and catfish among swimming foods I'll pursue in a non survival situation! When the zombie apocalypse happens, Ben might find himself on the menu!
@Boudie, thanks again for the warm hospitality, always great to grab a smoke and a meal with you!

Yea, i didn't pull out the boiled crabs. Mr Dran thinks Crawfish are a lot of work I'd like to see him pick through a dozen crabs. Glad you made it home safe.

 

[Dran]

Too much work! I've never tried crab because of the amount of work.... I don't hate lobster, but only eat lobstah rolls, cause some other poor fool does the manual labor!

Sounds awesome! Worth the trouble, I love anything with a shell.

After having to help kill my own meat a few times, I'll take removing an already cooked shell. Honestly though, I feel you on this one. I don't usually order or cook anything that requires extra smashing, pulling, cracking or peeling.

I work hard enough to earn the money to buy the food. I'm not undertaking a part-time job just to eat the food.

 

[Boudie]

Geesh, even little 5 year old girls peel their own crawfish.

Very cool! The best part of this recreation is the brotherhood!

Guys, guys...I feel like so many are missing the more important points of a crawfish boil, of which there are three:

1) Fellowship
2) Ice cold beer
3) Eating Crawfish

As long as a participant partakes of at least two of these, with the first one being mandatory, all is well. As Meat Loaf said, two out of three ain't bad.

Love all of those things except crawfish. Not because of the work, because you can see the shit on them lol. Crab legs are one of my favorites!

That shit is the taste of the swamp, all the plant life they feed on. When its about the width of a pencil lead I remove it, the rest of the time, down the hatch!

Same. It's gotta look like a greenish-black pipe cleaner before I bother removing it.

The few I’ve ate I treated like shrimp. I’m eatin it

You're all forgetting what's really important here! Finishing off the huge tub of bread pudding @Boudie sent me home with! The chicken and sausage didn't survive the drive home!

I can do some DAMAGE on bread pudding.

Especially when a Cajun chef makes his special rum sauce to drown it in!
