Hey! Today is...
 
Thursday, 02/20/2020. Lotsa two's and zero's. I figured this post
would be as interesting and evocative as if I declared my candicacy for
Mayor of RFC. ;)

Seriously, I'd like to talk about crawfish tailmeat. Might require a
separate thread to get anyone to notice I'm talking about cooking. Heh.

I have a 1 lb. pkg. of crawfish tailmeat in the freezer. Mardi Gras is
just around the corner and while I don't care about that, seems like a
good time to use the crawfish.

Crawfish etoufee is probably the most commonly known dish but I don't
want anything involving rice. Don't want to make gumbo, either.

I've run across a recipe for crawfish mac & cheese that looks
interesting. (I've heard of lobster mac, so why not?) Also crawfish
fettucini. Crawfish pie... hmmm, you know me and crusts but I could buy
one.

Anyone have any other ideas?

Jill

there are many 'holidays' during the winter months and I figure they
are a reason to break up some dreary months with some specific meals.

I wasn't really thinking of it as a holiday. I sure never got off work
for Mardi Gras. LOL Got any ideas for using crawfish tailmeat? There's
no rush since it's frozen and likely to remain that way until I feel
inspired. It doesn't even have to be next week. I'm just lucky I can
find it.

Crawfish in cocktail sauce? Serve with your favorite crackers and cream
cheese? I find both wild and commercial crawfish bland. The cocktail sauce
would zing them up a bit. Of course, Ive never done it. Its just a
thought.

I remember hearing of the phrase "stuffed flounder" - 1 lb. crab meat (or you can use chopped shrimp or crawfish)

If this is your first time, I would recommend just doing a boil
with an equal mix of water and vinegar and add a bit of seasoning
to the liquid. Either Old Bay or some Cajon seasoning mix.

Very little liquid/spice mix too. Just about 1/2 inch in a small
pot
and the meat should tower above that.
Bring that to a boil then add the mudbugs and a lid on top.
After about a minute, stir it all then cover again.
Do that again and by then they should all be boiled/steamed
nicely.

One warning. I bought a frozen bag of these once. Turned out they
were from China, not the US South. That bag was so freezer-burned
that the meat had totally dried up and I got nothing out of it.

You might want to microwave just one to make sure it's ok
before planning a meal.

Or if you're going to cook it for your cat's birthday, don't season it. Cats and dogs hate butter, salt and especially pepper.

If you're not going to use crab, try pork or chicken.
A crab recipe is made for crab.

He said crab cake "type" recipe. I recently saw Jamie Oliver make fish
cakes out of finely chopped salmon fillets. No reason the same thing
couldn't be adapted using meat from crawfish.

Thanks but that's not what I'm looking for. If they were whole mudbugs
in the shell, sure. :)

"sorry to ear that?" heh heh
You got the "good" stuff. If I ever buy them again (not likely)
I'll definitely check to see where they came from.

I wouldn't eat crawfish unless they were live.... same with crab,
lobster, clams, any shellfish unless freshly brought in shrimp, and
often kept on ice most will still be alive.

Sheldon, you don't even like shellfish. (Clams, oysters, maybe.) That
aside, I can't get fresh crawfish because I don't live near the Gulf.
Wouldn't want to eat it anyway since the nasty oil spill a few years
back. What I bought was farmed, cooked, shelled and flash-frozen in a
cyrovac package. Farmed is sustainable.

I happen to like clams on the half shell, oysters too. I'm not all
that familiar with crawfish, they're not common in the north. I can
easily slurp three dozen little necks with horseradish sauce and
oysterettes. I prefer oysters stewed, commom in the north in a
Thanksgiving turkey stuffing... actually quite tasty.

No, it's not!

Farmed shrimp is usually from Vietnam, where they put so many shrimp
in each pond, the shrimp must be fed tons of antibiotics to keep them
alive in their own "wastes". Which, when they get around to emptying
them (the ponds), so much waste is released, it's killing off the adjacent
mangrove swamps, which are a natural breeding place for young shrimp.

I don't think red or brown crawdads are much different, allthough I
have seen them harvested from Southern rice fields. 8|

Sounds like how they keep factory chickens -very popular in RFC when
they're cheap - in western countries.

I'm not talking about SHRIMP. Between you and Gary, all this selective
trimming is ridiculous. I've never bought frozen shrimp from Vietnam.
No crawfish tail meat from China.

We have crawdads in our creeks, lakes and reservoirs. All you need is a
trap, some rasty meat and some time. Dont you? Hmmm...rasty means rancid
and nasty, if its a colloquialism.

No, he complains about real chicken, hates that we tend to watch our
food costs and look for the best value. That must mean we're all
extremely cruel to animals.

He espouses plant based "meat" then posts a link about how those
"Beyond" fake chicken strips. The article says:

"break on your teeth, the way they initially resist and then yield to
your chew, the faint fatty residue they leave on your palate and your
tongue€”something about the whole experience that feels a little too real."

Is this supposed to be an endorsement of Beyond faux meat products?

"Faint fatty residue".?

Sorry, that's not what actual chicken tastes like. He seems to think
everyone eats fried chicken strips. Or everything deep fried. He'd be
wrong about everything.

BTW, he doesn't know and can't prove every single brand of chicken sold
in the US supermarkets is farmed in a cruel manner. Anecdotal evidence
from what he's watched on Australian TV. How about he worry more about
where his own food comes from?

Hopefully, that's not the case. He's saying that the shear force required to bite through Beyond Chicken is similar to real chicken.

Here's the ingredient list for the Beyond Meat Burger:

water, pea protein isolate*, expeller-pressed canola oil, refined
coconut oil, contains 2% or less of the following: cellulose from
bamboo, methylcellulose, potato starch, natural flavor, maltodextrin,
yeast extract, salt, sunflower oil, vegetable glycerin, dried yeast,
gum arabic, citrus extract (to protect quality), ascorbic acid (to
maintain color), beet juice extract (for color), acetic acid, succinic
acid, modified food starch, annatto (for color).

Meh. But one never-mentioned ingredient is missing: animal suffering.
That's worth something.

Of course, you could also not eat meat and also not eat Beyond Meat.

Yes, because the cheaper the chicken the worse it's been treated.

I don't endorse anything. I haven't even eaten the stuff yet. I also
didn't post the link.

Australian TV and Dutch TV. In the USA, food legislation is weaker
than anywhere else (money is all that counts), so it'll only be worse.

Hopefully, that's not the case. He's saying that the shear force required to
bite through Beyond Chicken is similar to real chicken.

So. I wonder when all of this "Beyond Processed" food will get around to replacing raw fish dishes like sashimi or sushi.

That's good to know!

Occassionally, the local "meat mkt" has it on sale (very rarely).

Next time it's available, I'll check it out. BTW, CA has tons of
crawdads in the SF Delta. Unfortunately, they are never used. One of
the biggest Cajun Festivals still operating (I think) is in Isleton,
CA, a sleepy little town right on said delta. I asked all the
purveyers of crawdads, "where did these crawdads come from?". They
all sed, "....the Louisiana Delta". Go figure. ;)
