How are they eaten? You just pop em in your mouth and start chewing, legs, eyes, brains and all?

People say bigger is better.

But for the first time in my life, I think I've gone too far.
Break the tail off, crack the shell open, eat the tail meat. Suck the organs out of the main body if that's your thing. Boil the shells again for crawfish stock or just throw them away.

I could probably handle this, not the organ sucking part. It’s still a visually off putting spread for me, maybe I could go chomp a potato in the corner or something.

viet-cajun style is better but it's harder to get in Louisiana proper because crawfish purists have very strong opinions on how you do a crawfish boil

You can definitely find some commercial enterprise doing viet-cajun if you're in the Cajun belt while in season. And if you can't or don't want to put in the work you can get the lazy facsimile via post boil saucing by getting Fiery Crab special sauce.

If you're talking about from randos at a party I'm just happy when they taste like anything.

Yea, I never did the organ sucking myself. I just give the heads to whoever wants them.

There's usually potatoes, corn cobs, and sausage in the pot with the crawfish. Sometimes they'll toss in jumbo shrimp or crabs, too. It's a big "whatever we pulled out the water and farm today" event

I'd go for those Ruffles ones. Plain potato chips seem like they'd be a nice salty flavor to go with some sweetness, like dipping fries in a frosty.

My coworker brought rice krispy treats made with potato chips mixed in. They were really good. I would eat the potato donut.

Plum dumplings are good, but they absolutely should be smothered in butter, powdered sugar and grated hard quark and / or poppyseed meal

Grated hard Quark?



(Joking aside, I'm not sure I know what that is.)

I'd probably try that potato/plum concoction just to see if it was a combination that works. Dipping fries in sweet sauces can be good.

It's not like French fries, lol. It's boiled sweet dough where the potato replaces some of the wheat flour. The same recipe can be made without potatoes with a dough made with only flour, but it has a different texture.

For starters the potato dough itself is also sweet, as well as buttery which blends with the breadcrumb topping. It's comparable to a sweet potato croquette.

I've seen variations that use choux pastry and I'm like, you can't fool me that's a fruity cream puff.

I think the thing here is Americans associate potatoes with savoury uses and don't realize potato is just a starch. Like bread, it can be made into savoury or sweet dishes.

Hell, you can even make it into bread.

I like to cut a potato in 4 equal slices lengthwise, discard the two skin covered sides like you do a loaf of bread, and then use the two inner slices as bread. Potato bread is simple and delicious.

Cajun style seasons the water in the pot and the crawfish are lightly flavored by the water so you get a more honest crawfish flavor.

Viet-cajun seasons the water, and then seasons the crawfish again after they're removed from the pot. Usually with a rich and spicy garlic butter sauce. The idea is, if you're going to be cracking open the shell with your mouth you may as well make the whole experience more flavorful. That you can also dip the crawfish meat in the sauce is a nice bonus.

The seasoning itself also differs, even from a family to family basis, but that's just the specifics.

My potato story is learning very recently how incredibly cheap and easy gnocchi are to make, I've been buying them like an absolute fool.

Hot tip: dump a bunch of garlic and onion powder in there before you form the gnoccs

I’ve been on a mild pasta making bender and I don’t know why I haven’t tried gnocchi.

Last night I used 00 for the first time for pappardelle. I should have gone another round with the maker to get them slightly thinner, though admittedly, I love a thick noodle.

I am a spectacularly bad poster and everyone in the Schadenfreude thread hates my guts.
I remember making gnocchi when I was a novice cook of a student and they turned out great. Now with an additional 15 years experience under my belt the last two times I've tried to make them they've fallen apart when boiling, apart from the sweet potato ones which I guess we're more fibrous thus held their form better.

No idea what I'm doing wrong, although the recipes ige latterly followed have only had a small percentage of flour to bind them (as is more traditional) so maybe that's the problem.

Drop noodles are kind of ugly, if we are allowing things that taste fine. No messing with the noodle-dough-flattener, just drop off a spoon into the boiling water.

My grandma used to give me matzot instead of bread for her very lo kosher borsch with pork ribs. It's one of my foundational childhood memories, and matzah for me is more of a comfort food than the borsch itself for some reason.

Also, what's that blue guff in there?
