I throw a pineapple in almost every boil. Lately I have been pealing it, but leaving the top on. I toss it in when I start the soak, then leave it in the pot while people are eating crawfish. Bring that pineapple out when people are slowing down a little and carve it up on the table. Always a winner.

Had this very same explanation when I asked why we don't boil lobsters in a "crawfish boil" fashion. My initial reaction was: " yeah that makes sense". Then I thought about it some more and said f-that! There should be no food rules. I threw 4 - 3/4 to 1lb lobsters into my traditionally seasoned boil water and it was fantastic. Yeah yeah I get your "delicate" flavor profile foodie crap but sometimes good is good. Like Zimmern always says: "If it looks good eat it".

Does it add a flavor to the crawfish or anything? that's my only concern, but i'm gonna have to try it because I do love pineapple.

Typical crawfish boils occurred on Good Friday when I was in Louisiana.

artichokes have a delicate flavor and should be boiled or steamed in water, then served with melted butter and salt only.
They are also an incredibly effective spice delivery system. Just because you like artichokes one way doesn't mean that you can't enjoy them in another way.

My favorite non traditional vegetable in a boil will always be cauliflower. But you have to put it in the potato sack because it falls to pieces.

I could see this being good. How long do you keep them in

Whole. Sometimes it takes two cookings.
I like to add asparagus at the soak.

I steamed some the other night and added crab boil to the steam water. Got just enough flavor from it to compliment without overpowering the delicate meat. Very nice.
