Looks good to me except she forgot to add a can of Eagle brand sweetened condensed milk.

I showed this to my wife, somewhere after dude dumped the margarine in, she said “turn that off. That’s a bunch of random nonsense”.

I already get the crawfish shits from the spice alone. Have no desire to add a supercharger to that process.

What’s the butter and Squeeze Parkay for?
Only veggie you boil first,other than onions, garlic, celery, which I don’t use, and lemons are potatoes. All the sausage, frozen corn and mushrooms go in at soak time..
I’m all for trying new shite, but none of that looked like anything I would try.

I know it was margarine or some reasonable facsimile and not real butter, but that's what she labeled it------although incorrectly, so I rolled with it.

Too many things wrong to post. I got thing to do today and tomorrow!

I've found that adding oranges, lemons, butter?(never done that) is so small compared to the quantity of water that it makes no difference whether you add it or not. I also might put a few corn and potatoes in, but I really just want the crawfish. Not all that other shite. Adding in the minced garlic in 50 gallon boiler won't make a difference. Gets too diluted. You have to add minced garlic in the ice chest where it makes direct contact once taken out of water. Although I'm not really a fan of the garlic. Maybe a tiny.
Basically, I've done it where I just add the seasoning, and then next batch added all the other shite. Made no difference. Tasted exact same. There's so much water that you'd have to add pound and pounds of the additives to make a difference.
50 gallons of water is over 400 pounds of water. Adding 8 ounces of garlic, and 8 ounces of orange juice, that means each by weight only makes up 00.1% of the mixture. 1 in 1 thousand parts is garlic, other 999 is water. Won't make a difference. Have to add that shite into the ice chest to make direct contact with crawfish. Otherwise, it's wasted money for no taste change.

What a dog shite crawfish boil. They would get laughed out of town in South Louisiana.
They more than likely are Aggies. I’ve been to these events and no the crawfish aren’t good. They think it’s the shite though.

i've never heard of putting cheese ravioli in a crawfish boil. but I may try that next time for one of the kids that doesn't like crawfish.
I had never heard of making “boudin” without liver and dipping that bulllshite concoction in kitchen bouquet for “color” and selling that rice and shredded pork butt in a casing for $8 a pound and getting filthy rich selling that shite to “neuvo” Cajuns. BUT…this is the evolution of “Cajun” food and culture.

I completely understand gatekeeping food and do it all the time, but I will tell you exactly what is wrong with their boil... nothing if they like it.
Yeah, I would be skeptical of that boil, but it's theirs. My gatekeeping consists mostly of nomenclature. I hate when people call a thing to technique something it isn't.
Mostly, I approach things like I do when people try to tell me how a "real man" drinks his coffee or any of those things, I tell them a real man drinks his coffee any way he wants. An adult can boil their crawfish anyway they want.

I will say that is what I consider an odd boil.
Agreed. The sure like them some garlic and fruit.

The worst part is, someone not from south LA would think this is how you actually boil crawfish.
It’s like watching the food network and seeing people from California make gumbo claiming they’re Cajun

That boil process is so fricked you’d honestly need to warn people what all is in that to avoid illness or other consequences.

They probably had to re-wallpaper the guest bath after that boil.
