Are crawfish boils actually good? It seems like comfy peak white people food and I'm asian so we don't get anything like this.

[Anonymous No.19662636]

If the person in charge knows what they’re doing then they can be god tier. Crawfish overcook fast though.

Had cajun crawfish boil for the first time last year with this really nice coworker, I enjoyed it. Its ridiculously messy, but the guy i was with was from louisiana and mentioned how in-season crawfish is simply better.
Im craving some now, fuck.

Hard to think of anything you might call *uniquely* American. We kinda have a little bit of the best of everything depending where you are. Varies on region/size of city you're around. Like if you want really good seafood or sushi, don't go to the Midwest.

Ironic considering that all the meat freezing and shipping happen in the midwest. Fish caught in Florida get sent to Illinoise to be processed, frozen, then shipped back to FL.

If you're somewhere coastal you should try and stick to the spots that buy directly from the fishermen and market. But you're not wrong, my rustbelt city has an excellent seafood restaurant - but its expensive and still gets mogged by some of the places I've had on the coast

As for Louisiana food, gumbo and poboys you can't really go wrong with. I eat the cheap packets of etoufee with crawfish and rice all the time because it's so easy to prepare. We also have god like unhealthy corner store food similar to some fried food you might find in Chicago. Save more is my shit.

I had one a while ago and it really wasn't that great like the everything was cooked well and tasted good enough but I get the feeling this is the Southern equivalent of the Wisconsin fish fry. Where you spend the day catching Walleye maybe some Crappie or Perch get home clean em up, get them in some beer batter, fry em up and eat em with the boys or the family.

If you want White people food try fried green tomatoes idk. Pickled pears, homemade chicken and dumplings (soup). Wash it down with some Switchel.
Seafood might not be the thing outside of the region. But I guess if you don't have context it might be fine, crawfish boil is going to be a lot of work especially if you are going White with it because you need the live ones

For some reason every black and asian person I know is into with crawfish boils where I live. I'm indifferent to them since they literally have no taste if not cooked properly. They're also annoying to deal with for just a little bit of meat. They're really just a novelty outside of Lousiana.

Actual answer: you're not mad that the discussion became racist, you're mad that the discussion didn't go in a direction of your choosing. The racist posters on this board go in every thread and denigrate minorities as is routine, however participation from others is only done when enjoyable and relevant to the interests of those members. That you could not make your thread interesting to others and had the discussion hijacked by the racists demonstrates your complete lack of personality, capacity for interesting conversation as well as a general lack of skills in general. I hope your basic bitch ass can grow to accept this, though I know deep down it will be in your nature to bitch moan and complain like a grade AAA Karen instead.

Id we're still talking about food from the deep south - Shrimp Étouffée/Jambalaya/Gumbo (all related) are amazing.
Quintessential americana is barbeque, so you could do ribs, brisket etc.
Cubano sandwiches are popular in Florida from all the Cuban immigrants but it's been adopted as a staple (and amazing) american sandwich.
Tex mex or California/Baja-style mexican food is also quite good. So for Baja regional latin food that would be battered fish or shrimp tacos with a mayo-chipotle sauce and shredded red cabbage with a squeeze of lime and cilantro.

[Anonymous No.19668971]

The trick to doing a crawfish boil is dumping all that shit on your kitchen table. Use a newspaper to protect the table, but if they don't sell newspapers where you live, steal a bible from your church and rip out the papers and use them to protect your table.
If you're doing a crawfish boil, I'm assuming you are too stupid to have morals.

Because they never stop obsessing over us and everyone else. Hell this wouldn’t even be racial if they didn’t link ‘soul food’ to ‘black culture’. It’s just retarded cooking but if they want to say their form of retard-cooking is part of their racial culture then that’s them.

You could plan an entire roadtrip around barbecue. Carolina yellow, Carolina vinegar, Nashville hot, Memphis style, Alabama white, Kansas City, St. Louis, Texas Brisket (and Texas in general, they specialize in beef while the rest of the south uses pork, so you can't pass it up), and all of it is good.

I mean, theres a lot of fucking liquid that most of the seasoning is going to stay in. you need a lot of it so that the small amount of liquid that will stay in/on the shells and food has enough seasoning in it. like all of these webms use about the same volume of spices as any videos you see of white people, but the ones I see are usually like a gallon-sized plastic bag of premixed crab/crawfish boil spices rather than individual jars of the same spices in the mix
