What non-traditional things do you put in your crawfish berl?

Sausage, garlic

You said non traditional, but you left out two very important items from the main list.

Corn dogs

Buddy of mine from Lafayette taught me about putting a pinhole in an egg and dropping it in the crab boil.

It is amazing.

I had to laugh after this response, but seriously; I add pineapple chunks in the end to soak. It’s quite delicious.

I never include dihydrogen oxide in a berl. Cretin

Why would anyone want boiled sausage?

It makes the meat overly chewy and the fat makes the crawfish slimey.

Never had either of those problems. Also, I do the sausage with the veggies...and there is never ever left over sausage....ever. it actually gets really tender and it's delicious.

Unfrosted strawberry poptarts. Gives it that sweet fruity flavor.

What the hell kind of sausage you using? Fresh?

Smoked sausage does none of that

I catch a lot of heat from people who think they’re experts, but I keep my boil simple to keep the emphasis on the crawdads. Boil in salt water, add in a little fresh lemon juice during the soak, then drain and empty into a big ice chest where they are liberally coated with Tony Chachere’s. Gives you just the right amount of flavor and heat on your lips from the shell without overpowering the true crawdad meat.
