1) Don’t eat on the obituaries. Most crawfish boils will require you
to eat on top of yesterday’s newspaper, whether it’s the Times Picayune or The
New Orleans Advocate is your preference, but whichever you choose, don’t eat on
the obituaries.
2) No cherry picking crawfish. We all want the big ones. It has the
most meat in it. But unless you are under 7 or over 70 we don’t suggest you go
for it, unless you want your hand slapped.
3) Don’t sit down. The under 7 or over 70 rule applies here too, but
even then get on your feet. It opens up the table for more to join. Leading to:
4) is always room for one more to squeeze in at the table.
5) you stack in a neat row or pile it on, there’s no room to
judge. The way people discard the shells of their crawfish is no one’s business
but their own.
6) Suck the heads. Even if you do it once, for the novelty of it, to
get the t-shirt, suck the heads.
7) Wash your hands before you pee. Just trust us.
8) Crawfish boils should coincide with trash days. As good as that
smell is during the boil, it’s that bad two days later.
9) Offer to peel leftover crawfish. It’s like offering to do the
dishes, no one wants to do it, but it must be done and is way more fun when
everyone pitches in.
10) Planning for the next crawfish boil should start during the current
one.
