You might be a “Southie” if...

[Severne]

Those are the nastiest things to eat I’ve ever tried. I’ll stick to the okra.

What? I eat all sorts of crawdadies and I’m not even a southie, boiled, broiled, grilled, Raw, oh, and the best, campfire roasted.

 

[Painted Calls]

I'm a Southie and will admit that I've never eaten a crawdad.

Use the heck out of them as bait though.

@SueT I call them crawdad, here’s the map of where folks say what. Look at first quote, the pic where I’m talking about crawdad. Also why does everyone say crayfish? you from the north?

I'm not from The North as defined by Ralphie....

I don't think many of us are.

 

[SueT]

And no matter where I'm from, I now definitely live in the South, crawdad country. I call it the Mid-South, since we probably don't qualify as the mid-west.

I consider anything north of Iowa and Indiana North. Where are you from on the different word map, not when’re you live, where you were from.

 

[duluthralphie]

I’m not even a southie,

 

[CindyinSD]

They need to be in clean fresh water for at least a week to 'clean' them out...if not they will taste like mud.

I knew there had to be a trick to it!

I love that area. Mines, caves, Town of Deadwood, Lead. I was there and saw Deadwood as a pioneer town, way before any casinos were built, ( I miss the Black Hills! )

My mom was born there (Lead/Deadwood) and lived in Central City as a child. Grandpa worked in the mine until they went off to Coeur d'Alene to work in the ship yards during the War. The casinos are boring and gauche, imo, but Deadwood would be dead without them--so I'm told. Not sure it was worth it.
