With a friend who said her Cajun friend from Houma informed her that’s the way a lot of people eat it there.

I like to stand next to them because I can mow through while they are dipping. Same with the corn/potato eaters.

My sister-in-law does this every boil. She'll put out several bowls of a creamy pink looking dip on the tables. Personally, I like the taste of the boiled crawfish and don't need to cover that with a mayo based bowl of slop.

Erryboddy I grew up with makes seafood dip. You use it, or not, as you prefer at a boil. It’s a cousin sauce to the British classic Marie Rose sauce, or to Thousand Island dressing.

Crushing and sucking the head is my “dip”.

I never saw it until I started going DTB with my wife's family. They're all Lockport people and they have it at every boil. shite's good on the potatoes. I'll occasionally dip the tails in it, too. Shrimp as well.

As I get older, I find I care less and less how people choose to eat and enjoy their food

I used to use it more as a kid since the crawfish we had weren't seasoned well. I'd rather have well seasoned crawfish and nix the dip, but I don't care if others want to dip. To me, it's like BBQ sauce and BBQ meat. If the meat is well seasoned, I want to taste that meat, but I don't mind a dip in the sauce 1 out of 10 bites.

What is the sauce base or what is the sauce similar to, to understand the need?

I know shrimp has a couple of sauces that can go with shrimp. However, crawfish is tasty enough. I will try anything. Someone post a recipe or explain the type of sauce that is supposed to be good with crawfish.

Houma baw checking in

I would wager 99% of boils in Terrebonne parish will have dip. All the restaurants provide it as well.

Pretty sure it’s a regional thing and it’s also delicious with the veggies.

Nothing like a cracker full of crab eggs and dip

I usually have a dip when eating crawfish. Like anything else, I think there are very strong opinions on anything that is different than what you grew up doing. Especially when it comes to such treasures as crawfish, gumbo, etc.
