Do you think State has ever boiled crawfish for their students?

There's the problem: envy.

I am reminded of an editorial years ago in the Times-Picayune discussing the New Orleans work ethic. The last line concluded that there is no such thing, noting "it's like Baton Rouge culture."

State fans critiquing our cuisine??

To be honest, boiled Crawfish as a stand alone delicacy originated in Acadiana.

My dad who is from upper Bayou Blue between Houma and Thibodaux said they used to (in the 1930s) go and catch crawfish but then would put it in their other meals not just boiled.

He never ate boiled crawfish until he moved to Vermilion Parish in the late 1950s.

I grew up, with Richard's on South Henry in Abbeville as one of the first pure stand alone Crawfish joints even in Acadiana.

Before that everyone here did it at home.

What made Acadiana so perfect was being right on the edge of the Atchafalaya Basin and Rice farmers everywhere.

The rest of Louisiana is riding on our Crawfish tails.

When I first moved to this region I thought "dusting" was ridiculous and comical, but NOW I don't want crawfish any other way.

Absolutely. Dusting is the way to go!

Boiled a couple sacks Sunday for family and friends to watch the Cajun Baseball game.

Crawfish was great and so were the Cajuns.

Too bad both Baseball and Crawfish seasons are slowly coming to an end.

Go Cajuns
