Or they were cooked the bad way, with seasoned water.

Yeah, it probably would have been nice if someone showed them how to peel crawfish. One of the females was eating just the fat


Also it might be because I hate Muffalettas. But they could have picked something else to let them try.

I have lived all over the USA. One of my best friends is from Many, LA so I love Louisiana food.

haha Yes there are a few of us...but the high population of gay men here actually really helps the straight guys if you know what I mean.

They all thought the gumbo was jambalaya

I love how that one guy just took the tiniest bite out of the crawfish without even peeling it and then said it was disgusting. I can understand being apprehensive to try it, but I don't know of a single person that can actually dislike crawfish

Yeah.


I can understand being weirded out by the crawfish initially. I'm thinking they probably were just room temperature too. Nothing better than steaming hot crawfish straight from the pot.

How can grown adults not really figure that out? Have they never seen or eaten lobster either?

The freaking muffeletta had lettuce and tomato on it and the crawfish had green onions sprinkled on top.

Instead of boiled crawfish, they should have given them a crawfish etoufee

I know a good amount of people who don't like eating crawfish because they don't want to "play with their food". Generally they enjoy crawfish in other dishes.

I had to teach a friend of mine from North Carolina how to peel crawfish last weekend. She definitely wasn't as apprehensive as the people in this video. But it did take a bit of practice.

I threw a crawfish boil two years ago at my house. Watching these fools was half the fun. Plus it was cheaper for me because most of my CA friends just gave up and started eating the corn and potatoes.
