  Frank --

  When Huey Long was around you-all got a chicken in every pot ; and all the craw-dads one could eat for two bits back in Vermillion Parish.



.

Dr.Maynard, sir I regret to inform you that I am a displaced yankee that got tired of shoveling snow and ice as well as freezing my petunias off working in a tank farm for 30 years. So Huey long was long gone before I came down here. And if I remember right Huey Long was shot by of all persons a doctor. I hate crawfish, you gotta bite the heads and suck the tails. Frank

Hey Frank -- Let's have no regrets for your decision to become an adopted Cajun.  That's all the better for you.

One does not become an accepted Cajun Man overnight with those folks in Iberia Parish.  It takes a lot of back slapper and Dixie beer to get the feel of being a true Cajun.  It also helps if you know something about shooting ducks out of a pirogue.

Paul Prudhomme was my favorite Cajun Man and he always saved us a good table and attentive waitress when we were in New Orleans. 

I know my history lessons well and of course didn't expect you to know Huey Long during his lifetime.  Of course, you would not know Edwin Edwards from Avoyelles Parish, you being out in the oil patch all day working.

I doubt that you've ever been to Marksville, where Edwin and his brother grew up.

We'll have to get together the next time I'm down your way for some red beans and rice with a goodly portion of crawdads.  We have a fish market in the city who gets us all the crawfish we care to eat flown up from N.O. when we're having a group of folks in for supper, including Lindy Boggs before she passed two years past.

Friends?

Will you take a look at that one ?

Is it a "Fella"  or a "Gal" ?  Whatever it is, it's BIG.

Course, being on the ASSRA Forum, it just may be FAKE and put together from Chinese plastic. 

Hope it didn't just crawl out of the town's drinking water reservoir, if you get my implication.

You are a good sport Nero for allowing us to have a little fun on your posted message.

Thanks for the photo !

Well what can I say about getting the proper way to eat crawfish.  I never eat them. However some good catfish or tilapia and we're good to go. My wife who was born down here loves them. Although I have been known to eat the corn and potatoes. Just have to taste test a couple as they do get carried away with the crawfish seasoning. Friends Dr.Maynard. Never met a person here that I didn't like. Worked in a tank farm in NYC that did oil deliveries via barge,tanker and pipeline lotta cold days and nights. Frank
