I'm usually able to take down 10-12 pounds if I lay off the corn, potatoes, etc.

One time I brought a 10lb special and barely finished it. Of course I ate potatoes, crackers, corn and sausage.


I can probably do about 8 pounds and still be functional.

If crawfish only, at least 10lbs. But it's never crawfish only, so more like 5 usually. I like a lot of extras with my crawfish.

More than you can


Probably 15 or so. I can put it down. I don't mess with potatoes or corn.

Without any extras, 8lbs or so. I've done 10 but will never do it again. With fixings and a lot of beer its usually 5-6.

Usually less than 2 lbs. I get tired of eating them sooner than I get really full.

With no beer, no sides, sitting on a bucket, and a nice slow peeling pace, I can eat for approximately 37 hours straight.

I did 10 lbs once. I'm sure I could do it again. I generally stop around 5 lbs because I get tired of peeling.

The older I get, the less I eat actual crawfish at crawfish boils and turkey at Thanksgiving

I have always like the sides better, and finally realized I was a dumbass for forcing myself to eat more of what I don't prefer

I'll perhaps never know. Kind of like how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop. The crawfish always run out before I'm finished.

I can tell you one thing. I will never be able to make etouffee from a crawfish boil because if I peel a bug, it's going in my mouth, not into a bowl. I just don't have the willpower to peel them for future use.

I go around 5 lbs with couple sides and a few beers. More than that it's gluttony unless spaced out over several hours

Can I eat-10-12 easy

Do I eat- usually it's a social thing so between the beer and apps and sides it's more like 5-7

I love the potatoes and corn just as much. Even some sprouts and asparagus

I "can" eat in the 15 lb range sans side items. I usually eat 7-8 lbs while enjoying all the other delectables in the pot.
