Crawfish are pretty bizarre as far as food goes. There are worse things than crawfish however. Like dumpster diving. I am not an enormous fan of crawfish, but contrary to popular opinion, I think they go better with a red wine than a beer. The need for alcohol while eating crawfish is clear. Or maybe iced tea, but generally speaking I avoid alcohol and crawfish and dr pepper just dont go.
"in the abundance of water, the fool is thirsty..."
~Bob Marley
Watched the Andrew Zimmern Bizarre Foods episode about prepared food from dumpsters after the food had been discarded by the restaurants for no other reason than it had gotten expired shelf life. Thats illegal but in San Fransisco they are getting away with it in one downtown district. Crawfish are not so bad as that. But the consumption of alcohol while eating them goes a long way to the contributing to how long you or I can sit around and consume the small crustaceans. They can be large or small but after a few dozen I get tired of fooling around with them.
Apparently Bob Marley in the above quotation was not talking about hunger in the abundance of foods. There are some foods like 1000 year old eggs and molded tofu that I will never eat no matter how hungry. Now pho or menudo, I'm there. Luckily these are items available locally. I am even sneaking up on purchasing a Dorian fruit from a local Vietnamese grocer.
