mvscal is correct. And what the Chinese do is label it with some cajun name like Thibodaux's.

Which is exactly what I posted. Those are from China. :oops:

And sometimes they will ship the Chinese crawfish to south Louisiana, where they will get processed and packaged. Same problem.

You want to check on the package to make sure the crawfish were caught in Louisiana, or somewhere in the U.S. There is a noticeable difference in taste.

Look for the Certified Cajun/Louisiana label. It's a program run by the LA Dept of Ag. to promote LA businesses. Like I said, I've used that Riceland brand many times and they've been great.

Yes, I know. It will say where they are from on the package somewhere.


And since we're acting like this is the cooking forum, let me add that the Poultry Magic is outstanding as well. The company makes several other seasonings, but to me the ones for seafood and poultry are the best.

Frozen tails are fine but, to clarify, make absofuckinglutely sure you are buying legit LA crawfish tails. DO NOT, under any circumstances, buy farmed Asian crawfish. You will be fucking sorry if you do. Seriously.

Sam's Club/Walmart regularly carries this brand which I have used many times. Definitely recommend.
Good to know, thanks. I know you could have them shipped live directly from LA, but didn't know you could by frozen. Will check it out and 'perhaps' do a pierogie PET, but not promising anything at the moment.

Roux is still on the clock.

They really aren't in season now. It's a narrow window. That why good quality frozen tails are widely used even in LA. They're kinda like tomatoes in that respect.

Dr_Phibes RSVP’d from Canada, so we’ll need poutine on the menu.

Image

Not one to freeload, Dr_Phibes is contributing free tetanus shots for our ‘long distance lawn dart catch’ participants. I’ll bring my extra rusty Jarts.

Image

Not to be outdone, Dr. V. Patel is offering FREE prostate checks. Here we see Python’s first check of the day. Since he can only manage 3 and 4 word replies, we may never know why he keeps getting back in line. :mrgreen:

Image

Queue of patients or not, Dr. V. Patel will take a break from his clinic for a long picnic lunch. He’s a ‘tee more martoonis’ lunch kinda guy. Little Dutchboy in Seattle is lobbying to stand in for Dr. V. Patel during breaks. He’s got experience sticking his digits where they’re not welcome. He also loves to drop his favorite punch line, “That’s not my finger!”

Image

Note: Any ‘accidents’ in the clinic will go towards making more poutine for Dr_Phibes.

Unless HPG wants to step up, he is the expert. Is a big pile of wet trash and old tires and a backhoe available?

Good times..... :drink:
Fukken hell. I'm was hoping no one would bring up the Luau saga. But now that you did, I am compelled to defend myself. I was in charge of the pig and the preparation of said pig, a task I performed flawlessly. My father and I went to the rancher, picked out the animals, slaughtered them on site, packed them on ice, and drove 100 miles to the prep room where we injected seasonings and salt, wrapped each half in banana leaves and burlap, then caged them in wire mesh and put them back on ice. Everything was fukken PERFECT up to that moment. That's when I passed the football.

OTHER PEOPLE were in charge of the hot rocks. It's not my damn fault a jackoff who never studied the Luau videos I sent him decided to burn a pile of oil field trash on a bed of unwashed pit run and stir it with a backhoe throughout the day, okay? IT'S NOT MY FAULT the pig came out of the ground cool to the touch 12 hours later. It's not my fault the pig was fizzing and smelled like 3 weeks of camping sex when we cut it open in the cafeteria. IT'S NOT MY FAULT the pig dripped its fetid slime onto our pants, shoes, and carpet as we hauled it outside. IT'S NOT MY FAULT the whole event was moved outdoors and the venue had to be ventilated for an entire day. It's not my fault 150 people got a vegetarian picnic, okay?

Not.
My.
Fault.

So if your national dish is poutine, should you be extremely proud or deeply ashamed? I lean towards the latter. Something upmarket like Beef Wellington or Beef Bourguignon would be good, but they're taken. :(

Fries with cheese curds and brown gravy. I don't think it's anything to be ashamed of, but I probably wouldn't want to hang my culinary hat on that.

I'm inviting her to maybe provide the linens?

British model is warned to leave Spain for her own safety after outraging locals by taking off her knickers and leaving them to be found in Costa hotspots including a supermarket bread counter

A British model has been branded 'mental' and warned she should leave Spain for her own safety after filming herself taking off her knickers and leaving them as souvenirs in Costa holiday hotspots including a supermarket bread counter.

Chloe Lopez is fast making a name for herself in Britain's favourite holiday destination with her selfie online videos showing her taking off her thong panties and placing them in unexpected places.

Her latest stunt, in which she whipped off a pair of pink knickers and left them in a bread roll tray in a Mercadona supermarket in front of an astonished customer before waltzing off with a smile on her face, has enraged locals.

For the motorsports aficionados and mechanically inclined at T1B, picnic organizers have struck a deal with the drag strip across town. After dark, we’ll have Wheelchair Drag Racing. Everyone’s welcome.

Run whatcha brung!


I’ll be competing in my ‘ED-209 Every Day Carry’ wheelchair.

L45B’s entry in the wheelchair drag races, Manual Class.

Something tells me L45B might be sandbagging us… just a little.

Mikey and Mrs. Mikey will compete in the gubmint subsidized Clean n Green EV Class

Master mechanic and customizer Rootbeer’s entry is in the Unlimited Class.

So far, no one else has stepped up to challenge him. I detect a theme…

For the love of Christ, would someone puh-leese let m2 know it’s not that kind of drag racing!?

m2, you’ll scare the children… and most of the adults.
