Boiled+Crawfish+-+A+Louisiana+Specialty

TAG students in Mrs. Nancye's class would like to show you the method in eating boiled crawfish. Crawfish are a delicacy in South Louisiana. We eat them in dishes such as Crawfish Bisque, Crawfish Etouffe, Jambalaya, and Gumbo. We put them in salads, enchiladas and omelets. We make delicious hot dips out of them and eat them on crackers. But the favorite way to eat crawfish in Louisiana is to boil them in big pots with lots of spicy seasonings. We usually add onions, potatoes and ears of corn to the pots and eat them along with the boiled crawfish. Eating boiled crawfish is messy, so we often do it outside. We pour the boiled crawfish onto a table covered with newspapers and dig in. Some people wear special bibs to protect their clothing. Many people like to dip the boiled crawfish in their own mixtures of catsup, mayo, hot sauce, lemon, and horseradish.
