Crawfish, Boudin, and Cracklin!

[hennypenny9]

I've can't comment about the thread topic (ask me about Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese)... But I've become addicted to Sweet Tea. Everyone around here drinks it unsweetened, ICK. I make it with so much sugar. I feel like the South is a different country. Everyone from there calls me sweetie or darlin' or hon. I would make a special trip just to try all these dishes I hear so much about!

$200 for 33 lbs??!!

Chris, your dad could be making some serious money here! Al, you must really love these little suckers. lol You're gonna hate hearing this, but I paid $25 for a 30 lb sack last week. Of course, we have crawfish fields all around us out here, and we got them from a buddy. They're running around $2 to $2.50 a lb right now, which is expensive, and they're not huge.

Oh, and boudin is a rice and meat mixture, seasoned up and cooked just so, and stuffed into casing. Sounds disgusting-but can I say "Yumm!"

You people need to stop talking about cuban food, picadilla, black beans, yellow rice and buttered hot cuban bread and fresh seafood, yum, raw fresh oysters, conch chowder and a cold beer.

Yum Yum , Growing up in Florida I was so thankful my parents embraced other foods.
Our Family Cjristmas dinners consisted of Black Beans and Rice, Spanish Bean Soup and cuban bread (something I need to learn to make cause you can't find it here)
Hot Pressed Cuban Sandwiches....... MMMMMMMMM

lockedhearts, I've been gone 18 years now, but still have some friends and family in the keys. I miss the ocean and boy do I miss the food. I try to go every year but haven't been in awhile. I really, really, need a cuban sandwich with a dozen bollos. I try to make the sandwich's sometimes. It works in a pinch.

The inlaws are all in Wisconsin & I am happy to say we have converted them--every time we go for a visit I have to bring frozen crawfish tails along for them.

Shipped 2 turduckens a few years back at the tune of $60 each for shipping to my BIL for his Thanksgiving table--he just had to have them. I think they can get them there now though.

Just had our first crawfish of the season last weekend, Yum!!

I want some danged crawfish. We're waiting on prices to go down...and the later the season, the bigger they get.

But now I'm beginning to get in that desperation stage, and I just don't care.

We had a crab boil for my daughters high school graduation party. There was crab, crawdads, shrimp, boudan, keilbasa, corn, potatos and lots of spice! My brother works on an oil rig (platform) off the coast of Louisiana. So we are doing it again for my son at the end of may for his graduation. It was great!
