2 corn, 2-4 potato’s depending on size, 1 link of sausage, 5 pounds of crawfish, and a pitcher of beer

Girl I used to date her BIL put shrimp (separate basket and boil) Brussels sprouts, and mushrooms in his so still about 5 pounds even with all that.

When I ultimately get tired of peeling them.

This is the answer. If I go to a restaurant I usually just get 5 lbs though.

Don't care for the fixings. I eat corn and potatoes,etc all the time.
Give me straight crawfish. And that means at least 8 lbs. 10 lbs if they are really good.

Can’t eat crawfish any more. Last time I had boiled crawfish, I had a heart attack.

I love the boil taste but quickly get annoyed with peeling so I wind up eating mostly potato’s corn and sausage.

I find the crawfish themselves to be more trouble than they are worth in terms of peeling effort per quantity of meat. Same reason I don’t eat crab legs.

I just pop the head pinch the base of the tail then suck the meat out. Very little peeling required.

The standard 3-5 lbs with some potaoes corn and sausage and some beers is a good amount of food. Anyone eating more than that is just being excessive.

If I'm hungry, usually about 5 lbs. I don't usually eat the sides. I don't like frozen corn. I don't like the texture. If someone uses fresh corn, then I may indulge. I might eat a half of a medium potato or a small one, but I normally pass. I do like onions and may put some in some butter.

Okay, I don't like boiled corn that was previously frozen. Can you understand it now?

I see people do this, but to me the best part is the rich fat that’s usually left in the head. I tear my little fingers up digging the fat out of each head.
