Thanks for the suggestions guys. My DIL just requested I add carrots and claims they're great.We'll see.I think I might try some green beans too.I always end up eating a bunch of garlic and onions.

Try this thread: Master List and Ratings of Boiled Crawfish Sides - Besides Generic. My ratings (1 to 5) are in parenthesis.

Vegetables
Baby Bok Choy (4)
Broccoli (4)
Mushrooms (5)
Cauliflower (3)
Fresh green beans (3)
Artichokes (3)
Golden beets (5)
Sweet potatoes (3)(4)
Brussel Sprouts (halved) (3)(4)
Brussel Sprouts (whole) (5)
Canned corn with holes punched in can (?)
Carrots (?)
Edemame (?)
Nopales, i.e. cactus (4)
Garlic (4)

Fruit
Pineapple (3)
Oranges (?)


Meats (I know eggs aren't actually considered meat, but I'm putting them here)
Poached Eggs (5)
Boiled Eggs (4)
Whole small fryers tied in panty hose (?)
Homemade tamales in the husk...just drop them in the boil long enough to warm them up (?)
Hot dogs (?)
Pork Tenderloin (?)
Cheesy Brats (?)

Spices Ratde these on how Ithink they add to the overall flavor of everything else in the boil, though some of these are edible
Habaneros (Fresh) tops removed (5) About 0.65 lbs per batch
Serranos (Fresh) tops removed, cut in half (5) About 1.75 lbs per batch
Jalapenos (Fresh) tops removed, cut in half (5) About 2 lbs per batch

Alternatively, you can blend up some peppers with a little water, then add that do your boil. I do this with serranos and habaneros because those aren't going to be eaten for the most part.
