If someone lets their kid eat half a sack of crawfish at someone else’s party then shame on them and the adults that allow it. That’s not how one should go about food planning for a group. That’s what causes people to have an appointed person to serve controlled portions. If you want to have a boil at home for a small group and tell them to eat all they want that’s different, go ahead and eat your gluttonous heart out.

What’s the point of eating crawfish if I can’t make myself sick?

It was a family gathering over the Easter weekend. My wife's family is pretty big and they'd gather at her dad's house in the country for the boil.

I'd buy a sack for the me, the wife and her 2 kids. My brother-in-law and his wife with the 2 big teenage boys and 1 teen girl would buy 2 sacks.

Others would contribute as well according to the amount of people they had attending.

It wasn't like everyone was a guest at someone's house footing the bill for the boil. All who attended contributed.

Believe me, when my stepson was a teen and we went to someone's house for a boil, all I had to do is give him "the look" and he knew it was time to walk away from the table. If not, he'd eat until the last crawfish was gone.
