What are some others that are not worth the Hassle to achieve the Results?

I respect that. It is just too "Involved" for me, now. I hope they turn out Great.

Thanks. I've had a craving for them the past few weeks. We don't eat them nearly as often as we did when she was alive. They aren't stuffed, btw. Still need all the trimming but I don't think there's a whole lot more work after that. We'll see!

Though I love them, crawfish.

I LOVE artichokes and fresh are far superior to those in the can or the jar. Stuffed is probably my least favorite way to enjoy them. The stuffing buries the artichoke flavor on the leaves in my opinion. A good old steamed artichoke is heaven on earth to me.
Love boiled crabs, too. I don't have a problem peeling/shelling them.
Same with crawfish, but I will not peel either of those just to get the meat for cooking. That's not worth it. I peel to eat the meat instantly.

Stuffing crawfish heads for bisque.

What about Homemade Pasta? I quit doing it - and just buy dried. Very little difference in Structure, or Taste, to me.

I have no issues with peeling crabs. I would rather boil and eat crabs over crawfish any day.

Good one. I do Bisque without them, now.

pho
after you procure all the bones and make a stock for 12 hours and do all the other prep work .. it's not worth it. plus it's probably not going to come out as good as at viet restaurants and it's a quick, cheap meal in the first place.

The only people that say crawfish are crappy peelers. FWIW, I love having boils with people like you.

I make boulettes though I don't make bisque often at all. I stuffed heads once. Not worth the trouble to clean the bodies and stuff or to get the stuffing out and into the bisque to eat.
I have no desire to make pasta, puff pastry or tamales. Made tamales once. Never again. Not worth it.
I don't like peeling and deveining large quantities of shrimp. I won't say it's not worth it because I'll do it if I have to, but if the option to pay for them to be peeled and deveined is there, I'll happily shell out the extra bucks.

The dough for pie shells.

All who think crawfish and crabs aren't worth the effort, I will gladly fill your seat at the next boil.
