Oct 29th trek came to the top again latelly. Here are the picks from the traditional food post.
Doug
been years since I had crawdads , now I did have some gator a few months back ! that was good eating ! thmbsup
I love crawfish, especially with a Cajun red pepper concoction sprinkled all over them after using a crab boil to cook them. I made a trap that I bait with a fish head or a piece of deer liver and catch them if I'm on an extended fishing trip.
I like frog legs a lot better than gator unless it's their cheeks.
have`nt tried frogslegs , but have a fondness for fried turtle !
went into a roadside cafe in Louisiana a few years back and wondered why the washbasin set up in the middle of the eating area
I found out why after the wife and I shared a plate of crawfish and crab.I must add the serving dish was one of those old coke
trays.
I'm sure the tea was served in Mason jars too. Right?
Just the way bugs and tea should be served. Jenny and I are planning a trip across the south this spring. She's in for a treat (or shock) with some of the food I intend to introduce her to. Buckets of crab at crab shacks, jambalaya. Catfish and hush puppies she had on trip to Michigan 25 years ago. Lots of regional food she has never seen. Last year was " red or green " with about everything in New Mexico. Time for us to get on with a "normal" life after last 2 years of not very normal.

You all go ahead and enjoy yourselves - you deserve it ! But remember if your route gets to within 200 miles of Tulsa you had best let me know and we will meet you for a cup[ of coffee or something, and if you come through Tulsa the door is always open!

I once heard a gator say the same thing about people. pnic
I love crawfish. And let's get this straight. They ain't bugs; and I know because I've eaten a good variety of bugs on a number of occasions. A dear friend, an entomologist, used to cook bug dishes for all our get-togethers. It was all good. And being from Georgia, I've eaten tons of the Georgia state bird, the gnat. They come in two types; thick, dark clouds and thicker dark clouds. I love it there but that's where bugs were invented.
Guy I had on my survey crew years ago told of working in California with a Cambodian who had survived Pol Pot's "killing fields." This man was always popping bugs, caterpillars, worms etc. in his mouth. For some reason the rest of that crew didn't take him up on his offers to share....

Bugs are not only good to eat, but they make great projectiles! Did I ever mention the time my dangling left arm, out my car window doing 60 mph met with a June Bug? Neither my arm or that bug were a pretty sight after that get together! :blech:
I've also been told that June Bugs stay crunchy, even in milk!

Yes they do, uh....so I've been told. Ahem!
This year Southwestern PA is supposed to have an appearance by the 17 year Locust, A.K.A. locusts. Deep fried up they're nice and crunchy, about like fried grasshoppers ( one of the weird foods our Biology teacher had for us to eat) and a good source of protein, especially when they're used as fish bait. I've been through the locust hatches in Baltimore in central Pa and once in western PA, that I can remember.
To quote our friend Quigley with Hanshi's permission: "My stomach feels like my throats been cut!" (susp)

We have a few cicadas most every year here in Florida. My dog loves them. She will pick them off the tree bark and crunch 'em down. She does the same with normal grasshoppers but she leaves those huge poisonous ones alone. :qz:
