The Crawfish Fest: A Story of How Cultures Unite Through Food
Crawfish were not a staple in my house growing up. In fact, my only introduction to the tiny, red spiny creatures was trying to lure them out of the park stream with my brothers. For us, it was a lesson in catch and release. It never would have occurred to me to eat the little guys. And while I must state I am vegetarian, I am interested in cultural cuisine and am willing to try anything once. So when my better half recommended we attend a Crawfish Festival, I was intrigued. Music, dancing, and 10,000 pounds of crawfish, why not?
