You know Spring time is here when mud bugs make an appearance. Yes, mud bugs as they are lovingly referred to in the South. Those wascally widdle wabbits of fweshwater - Crawfish! I remember when I was little growing up in Pittsburgh, me and a friend would catch these little suckers from a creek (or crick for you rednecks) in her backyard. We called them Cray-fish up North. Damn Yankees!
Today, we boil 'em up with new potatoes, corn, sausage and Cajun spices for a delicious and extremely messy snack on patios all over the South. Add cheap, cold beer, some amazing tunes and you got yourself a party. Hyuh, Hyuh! (Oh - That's New Orleans for Here, Here).
PS - Don't forget to suck their heads. Mmm...mmm...good!
And pinch their tails

ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Will probably have to special order crawfish in kansas, but well worth it! I miss a good boil.
ReplyDeleteYou can always catch them in a nearby crick!
