swedes eat cold crawdads. who knew?
« on: May 05, 2011, 08:59:41 AM »
Is a popular dish in Sweden and Finland, and is by tradition primarily consumed during the fishing season in August. The boi s typically flavored with salt, sugar, ale, and large quantities of the flowers of the dill plant. While most Americans eat them warm[ 19] the Swedish and Finnish normally eat them cold.

No. Silly hats seems to be mandatory though. And alcohol. Lots and lots of it. Personally, I don't eat the things. Looks too much like insects to me. Smells awful as well.

I love boiled crawfish. Raw? Not so much.

It's a lot of work to get a decent amount of meat, though. It takes about 9-12 pounds of whole crawfish to get a pound of meat. That's a lot of peeling.

Not appealing.

Dood.  You have to send me some Slap Yo Mama.  We had that on roasted corn* at the Mobile Flea Market when we were down there in April.  Good stuff.

*A vendor was selling corn on the cob, roasted on site, with the husk pulled back to form a handle.  They would dip it in melted butter and offered a table full of stuff you could put on it (salt, pepper, various rubs, spices, etc).  

Edit to add: I'm talking about the rub, not the hot sauce, http://www.slapyamama.com/kitchen.php
