RE: You know you're from Louisiana when...
Ohhh...I interpreted it is a BBQ meant specifically to cook babies.

PS what is a crawfish and what does "don't eat the dead ones" mean?

I had some crawfish yesterday. It is the season afterall Smile

The dead ones are the ones that are dead before they are boiled alive. You have to boil crawfish and crabs alive, the only way to eat em. Shrimp you can freeze. You can tell which ones are dead because their tails are usually straight out instead of curled in.

We mix our tabasco cause with more tabasco sauce.

Yeah, that's how we cook shellfish too. When I was a kid we used to go crabbing (huge blue crabs)We would cook them on the beach in seawater and eat with very fresh white bread with real butter.


We don't have crawfish, we have large prawns,which the Americans call shrimp,and crayfish (lobster). We also have Moreton Bay Bugs, and Yabbies, which are fresh water.



Quote:T. orientalis is known by a number of common names. The United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization prefers the name flathead lobster, while the official Australian name is Bay lobster.[3][4] In Australia, it is more widely known as the Moreton Bay bug after Moreton Bay, a location in Queensland.[4] In Singapore, both the flathead lobster and true crayfish are confusingly called crayfish. They are popularly used in many Singaporean dishes.[5][6][7][8][9]

Quote:A freshwater yabby is a crayfish of the genus Cherax (infraorder Astacidea, family Parastacidae). They are often caught for food. A widespread species is the common yabby, Cherax destructor.

The Tabasco sauce I buy actually says 'Tabasco' on the label and is a little spicy. I'm fond of it in tomato juice. If I'm making chilli, I use a combination off fresh and dried,which I grow myself. I grow two varieties; the longish mild ones,and the tiny, holy-fucking-shitballs variety. There is a popular local sausage called "The Bum Burner" made using chilli seeds


Quote:Some local producers have chosen to add chilli seeds to the or contents of salami meats such as the Hahndorf small goods producer that claims to make Australia’s most spicy sausage the 'Bum Burner' that contains >70% of red and green chilli seeds, and pork meat.

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Interesting thread, though. Never knew that about dead crayfish. I'm going to have to Yelp and see if anywhere in SD does boils. I'm intrigued.
