Yesterday we took a little road trip. There’s only so long a Louisiana girl can go before she just has to have crawfish. I had reached that point.
Mud Bugs
Vince and I were sitting at the end of a long table eating away and an older lady walked over and started talking to Vince. Do you notice a pattern here? Older men talk to me, older ladies talk to Vince. She didn’t have a clue how to peel a crawfish and her friends had insisted she try them. Vince gave her a lesson while I continued to peel and eat.
The lady and her friends sat at the table behind us and a couple of times, I asked her if she needed help. She just shook her head . . totally disgusted with the process. Just as we were finishing eating, she brought her half full tray of crawfish to us and said “I give up!” We ate a few of them but we were really full of crawfish. As we got up to leave, the couple sitting at the other end of our table said “You’re not eating those? We said . . no, we’ve had enough. They said “We’ll take them!” Those crawfish made the rounds!
I’m already wishing I had more crawfish!
Helen Poole says
Judy, if you ever want to catch your own, come to my place. Our yard is full of crawfish holes, and according to our “water” guy our water table is quite high especially after a good rain. I don’t do crawfish but my husband sure loves them.
Sherrill says
Yeah I’m with the first lady–I prefer the crawfish’s big brother, lobster! HA
Kate says
Oh if only I could get them in California! Actually there is one place that ships them in a couple of times a year, but it’s not the same as in Louisiana.
Judy says
I know how you feel! We went to a crawfish boil last week, and I ate my fill….but the next day I was wishing I had some for lunch! Those tasty little mudbugs are addictive!
Now I want crawfish again!
Did you wonder why the lady asked Vince for lessons when her friends were there? I think I would have had to tease my hubby a bit about that!
Susan says
You can have my lifetime share. =) The picture is attractive, but I don’t like the taste.
Susan says
That made me laugh. Passing them around.
Linda Steller says
Oh, I love crawfish. Don’t get them much around here. When I lived in New England, we ate their huge cousins – lobsters. They’re so good, I don’t know how anyone could get disgusted trying to get that goodness out of the shell!

Suck they little heads! We LOVE Crawfish!
