Food Thread: Yes, They Look Like Aliens, But They Are Tasty, Tasty Aliens!

crawfish11.jpeg

The opportunity for a Northeasterner to eat crawfish is limited, particularly if one wants to enjoy good American crawfish, and not the heavy-metals and coliform laden ones from China (the frozen variety around here). My first experience was as a kid in New Orleans, and while I was a bit put off by the weirdness of eating them, they sure tasted good!

The crawfish season is roughly spring, but there are enough farms that produce them year-'round that I imagine the ones served in Louisiana are always pretty good. I would be deeply suspicious of any offered to me outside of that region, but it's an excuse to go to New Orleans and also enjoy their other fine foods.

I have had them in a plain old (and marvelous) boil, in etouffee, and even in a pie (also wonderful). Hell, if I lived where they were plentiful I can imagine eating them all of the time, in all sorts of concoctions. Maybe not in a cocktail, although I wouldn't scoff at a Bloody Mary garnished with one!

******

This sounds like a great idea! I love smoky flavors in cocktails, but it is not an easy thing to manage. Smoky booze like Islay malts are far too pungent and strong for most cocktails, even in tiny amounts. But charring fruit on the grill avoids the ashtray flavors of the smoky Scotch, and maybe even produces a bit of caramel flavor from the sugars in the fruit.

Charred Citrus Margaritas

The problem with this recipe is wading through the pompous bullshit and overly complicated and busy recipe. But the concept is grand, and I will be trying this as soon as it stops raining!

Why didn't my high school have a BBQ team!
High school varsity BBQ teams? Yeah, it's a thing in Texas
ENNIS, Texas — When you say ‘varsity’ in Texas, the word ‘football’ usually follows. But how about barbecue?

At Ennis High School, a group of students loves their brisket and ribs just as much as their pigskin.

Last year, the school created its very first competitive barbecue and traveled to cook-offs involving other schools across the state. Only a handful of schools in North Texas have barbecue teams, but the idea is gaining popularity.

How does practice work? Do they have groupies?

I hear that they sell these things at Red Sox games.

Just in case this doesn't look perfectly vile, just imagine the feel of a frozen chunk of clam lubricated by a bit of frozen potato and some frozen milk as you crunch down on it.

The few times that I have used these sprays I found them unpleasant. Tons of overspray (I may be a bit of a retard when it comes to aerosols), and the end result looked sort of unappetizing. Besides, is it really that difficult to use a thin layer of plain old oil and then wipe it with a paper towel to get a thin and even layer? What is the advantage?

This is actually a recipe for a brush-on version, which isn't nearly as bad.

8 Made meatball-stuffed sliders yesterday. OMG, so good. Like eating a handheld spaghetti dinner. Look at this video and try to not drool.

https://preview.tinyurl.com/y5mzksko

Short version - Get some King's Hawaiian rolls. Leave them connected. Cut out a hole in the middle like you're making a bread bowl. Leave some bread on the bottom. Brush the rolls with garlic butter, inside and on top. Bake 'em for 10 minutes or so til they get a bit browned.

Mean while you make some meatballs and bake or fry them. Make 'em small, they have to fit in the hole.

Then you put a tablespoon or so of spaghetti sauce in the hole and then a bit of mozzarella and then a meatball. Spoon another tablespoon of spaghetti sauce on top of each roll and sprinkle more mozzarella over the entire top of the rolls and some parmesan too.

Bake at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes, let cool a bit, slice the rolls a long the lines and try to not overeat!

34 Crawfish are delicious. I loved eating the rice-fed ones from the Louisiana bayou.


Cut up carrots, potatoes, ears of corn and sausage and toss intoa big boiling pot for 20 minutes or so.
The secret is to purge 'em - dump 50 pounds into a couple of coolers and pour half a box of Mortons salt into the water. They will purge all of the dirt and impurities in about 15 minutes. Then you can rinse with fresh water.


And sorry, if you think this is gross , then you have never "deveined" aka gutted a shrimp before eating. So stifle your mudbug judgement, shrimp-shit-removers.


There will be some dead ones so pick those out. Dump them into the boiling water and vegetables with enough water to cover all of them after adding one box and one bottle of Zatarains per 25 lbs of shellfish.


Tape newspaper to a table and dump everything out on it when the crawfish are red and the potatoes are soft-ish. Plates are not needed.

Break the crawfish in half, pinch the tail from the bottom like a tube of toothpaste. The white tail meat is lobsteresque in deliciousness. Hardcore crawfish eaters will suck the juice out of the head. You should try it at least once to get the full-on Coonass experience.


Some folks like to mix up sauces to dip

35 It just so happens I took my husband to Tybee for lunch today, and we shared a platter of crustaceans, that included crawfish.

He passed on the steamed corn and potatoes, because carbs. Which was a mistake.

He just checked his blood glucose (just diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes---which was a shock, considering his age), and it was too low.

36 We usually boil mud bugs with a whole bunch of other stuff includung while garlic, red 'taters, corn, sausage, oranges and lemons. They just gotta go into the boil last and then turn the heat off and let'em steep in the pot until the desired level of spice is absorbed. Pull the basket and dump it on a picnic table covered with old newspaper and stand back...

I agree 100%. And, yes, they still taste muddy to me after they've been purged. So do catfish and tilapia. And for reasons discussed last week, swordfish are out.

But other than that, I love almost all fish, fresh and salt water. Scallops are my favorite.

86 Years ago we were camping as an extended family, and us cousins went with traps and such to collect crawdads from the lake.

My Aunt Virginia had put on a pot of water for the crawdads as we brought back the filled traps, and we waited for it to boil over the Coleman gas stove.
When the water started seething we had a minor discussion about dumping the crawdads in alive, as usual, and it was explained (as usual) that this was the fastest way to kill them and cook them.

So we dumped them into the pot of boiling water in one batch, and discovered that there was about an inch too little water in the pot and the top level of crawdads were not submerged in boiling water, but were being steamed, not flash boiled.

My Aunt, quick thinking, grabbed the nearest pan lid to drop down on it, having dealt with lots of incidents that make kids to "eeew!!!"

She plopped it down on the crawdads to both preserve the heat in the pot and hide the crawdad from a bunch of pre-teen relatives who were about to go into convulsions of ewww. The lid, however, was a bit smaller than the pan and there was a gap all around that the crawdads could poke their claws up through in their mortal agony.

Which they did.

I took one look and decided I should go somewhere else.

I do like crawdads, but it does seem a bit of a chore to get enough for a meal.

89 We laff at Velveeta but my grandma said it was a real boon before refrigeration was available everywhere (she was from the "icebox" generation). "Good" cheese would get oily and separate.

iirc, Hershy chocolate was developed for the WWII south Pacific troops. Everything else would melt.

My review on Pierre Signatures Angus Cheeseburgers I bought at Costco.

-- Frozen
-- Fully cooked
-- 8 in the box
-- $14.99

It's a fully-cooked frozen cheeseburger, including the bun. Takes 3-4 minutes in the radar range to prepare.

Taste: Good.

I added ketchup, mustard, and a pickle. I must say, it's a damn good cheeburger for 3 minutes and no mess. I'd say it's better than a Quarter Pounder, much less salty, that's for sure.

So does my husband. The week before he got sick, we went to a fabulous bar here called Artillery, and he and the other guys had a cocktail consisting of bourbon, where the bartender lit cigar tobacco on a glass plate, placed the glass over the smoking tobacco for a about a minute, and then added bourbon and a burnt cherry garnish. D'oh said it was the best cocktail he'd ever had.

99 Eris, my late Florida grandparents had to go to an actual ice house back in the day to get blocks of ice for their "refrigerator." Both of my maternal grandparents were great cooks, but I'm pretty sure my grandmother used Velveeta, too.

My grandfather was an incredible gardener, fisherman, and hunter. Every single thing they ate he grew or killed. Except for beef and pork. And my grandmother used a local canning facility to can big quantities of everything to see them through the cooler months.


They were awesome. Miss them to this day.

Posted by: Adriane the Wot Says Oy Critic ... at June 16, 2019 04:47 PM (LPnfS)

Not completely true, Hershey developed a Tropical chocolate for use in the Pacific theater. It had additions of edible wax to keep it stable.

One of Dad's friends mentioned when I was a kid in the 70's that he went through a duffle bag finally and found a block of the chocolate. He said sometimes they would have a pale streak through it from the stabilizing wax, and you could put it on the fender of a car or the deck of a tank in full sun and it wouldn't melt.

I asked him if he tried it and he said no.

221 Hoping to provide my oldest grandkid a little balance in his outlook, I gifted him via the web, two books for his Kindle Fire.

He's twelve, just finished sixth grade, and a voracious reader.

Huckleberry Finn was one, the other was Feed, by M. T. Anderson. Feed is near future science fiction, a first-person tale told by a sixteen-year old boy, in an America where the state implants everyone at age two with what's essentially Amazon, texting via your mind, and the Intertoobz.

He lives in an ultra-left home in an ultra-left city, so maybe these can help center him.

What else might a twelve-year-old boy be reading?

Welp, since Velveeta is just the scraps of cheese from the cheese mnaufacturing line that have been swept up and processed into a block, I'd guess the FDA description would vary depending on how much floor debris, bug parts, etc. that get into the mix on a weight basis.

I think.

219 It's been a great crawfish season here on the SE Texas coast. A real wet winter and early spring kept the bug farmers happy and the prices steady. My oldest daughter requested a crawfish boil for her college graduation party 2-3 weeks ago and if I remember correctly I paid $1.75 a pound for a Lg/Med mix. We buy them by the sack which usually averages about 35-38 lbs a sack. It was a small party. 4 sacks for about 20 people. 5 lbs per person is usually a good guide for us webbed feet folks.

I gotta use the food thread this week to give a shout-out to Doordash. I told the story a number of ONTs ago about what happened when I tried to order Chipotle via their service.

Anyway, first Doordash gave me a $20 credit for messing up the delivery of my order. That was nice.

Just a few days ago, I got a second email from them, letting me know they're ALSO refunding the entire cost of my Chipotle order.

So I've already had one almost-free delivery from Popeyes by Doordash, since then. Now it looks like I'll get yet another almost-free delivery from Popeyes.

Gotta give 'em credit, they made up for the trouble.

Crawfish seem like way too much work for the small amount of actual food you get from each one. This opinion may be because I don't drink beer, which I notice is generally consumed in vast quantities at crawfish boils.

Every time I see "auberge" I think eggplant.

I am aware that eggplant is actually "aubergine", but when someone mentions staying at or visiting an auberge, I still think of it as a giant purple thing like . . . Jacques and the Giant Eggplant.
