Ha, they call em mud bugs for a reason since there really aren't any free stone creeks or bayous in Louisiana. Btw when did you New Englanders start eating them crayfish. Was Thoreau misunderstood wading around for a day in Walden Pond acting like a frog or was he aiming for a mess of crawdads.
I am pretty sure there are lots of different species of crawfish and some maybe taste differently. I have had some crawfish that were properly cleaned and purged and then steamed. They weren't bad but prefer the low country boil Cajun way if done properly and allowed to cool down served with all the fixins. |

No offense taken for calling them mudbugs Todd. We New England folks don't eat those southern style crawdads that crawl around in the mud. Ours are taken from pristine lakes and beautiful freestone streams. Maybe the reason you southern boys use all those Cajun spices is to overcome the mud taste of your crawdads. No offense, but animals and crustaceans taken from New England are a tad bit tastier than their counterparts down south. Its a fact Todd. Look it up.

No offense taken nor given. I can honestly say that I have not eaten any crawfish taken from a clear water lake or freestone stream, so I have no basis to even debate or discuss that fine point. Plus I know different species do have different tastes. Yes mud bugs need to be cleaned and purged before putting into boil, if not then your doing the meal a disservice. Maybe you don't have to do that for yours but I find it a necessary step to get most out the taste of your crawfish.
BTw be careful about comparing superiority of one crustacean over another from different parts of the country. For many years when the blue crab population was decimated in Maryland they imported a lot of crabs from Louisiana. They only shipped you fellas the ones they did not want for themselves. |

O Cmon you pulled your Yankee Card like a gun. Congratulations on the victory. Your ancestors were right, economics and morality of slavery sucks. Been burning anymore witches recently?
BTW according to farmers almanac the Canadian Ice shield should be heading your way this winter. Enjoy. |

I love winter Todd. I'm anxiously awaiting the Canadian Ice shield. It will mow down a lot of tall timber creating grouse cover some day. Actually, none of my ancestors burned witches but my grandfather (8) on my mothers Farnum family side participated in the so called Salem Witch Trials. Some of the trials were held in Dean's town of Andover, near Salem, where my relatives lived. Ralph Farnum II was a grand juryman for the beginning of the trials but he died before giving service. His son, Ralph Farnum III, testified against Martha Carrier who was hung. He also testified against Hopestill Tylers wife but she was acquitted. I have a record of his testimony from those trials.
Bottom line is don't mess with Yankees. |
