Dang Batty, don't be messing w/ my sale! I've got a chance, ok I mean I'm trying, to trade coconuts for coconuts! :wink:
Crawdads is bad, too. Yankees trying to be hip, usually. They've seen the Beverly Hillbillies. Crawdad, possum gizzard, and hog jowl sauce piquant, we eat it all the time . . .
That was as aggravating as the way one guy pronounced the Monteleone Hotel, Monteleoni. The girl who won the 1st N.O. showdown deserved it. However, how did she win the Super Bowl episode (she drew the Saints) with a 20 minute Gumbo. Not possible, WTF.
If I hear someone say crawdads or crayfish, I know immediately that they know not of what they speak. Razzoo's Cajun Cafe up here in DFW calls them "crawdaddies," I believe. That's obviously not authentic.
Yes, Razzoo's is all gimmick. The food's not that bad, though. I had a "crawdaddy" po-boy last summer that was pretty tasty, but I called it a crawFISH po-boy when I ordered it, of course.
Especially when one hasn't been back home to Louisiana in a long time. I'll also eat at Pappadeaux's and Ralph & Kacoo's up here. Really random: My mom is from New Roads and went out with Ralph once when he was on "a break" from Kacoo.
