yes they're they're kind of shrimp they are kinder now this is so they always remind me of a story every time i see them let's hear the story was an old mama crawfish took her three little baby crawfish out to see the world for the first time and they go across the cow pasture and they walk about 30 feet and their tree little baby crawfish choke up their claws and put it in high gear reverse like a crawfish can do you know mama crawford said what's wrong cheering what's wrong she say in literature and say what that is mama what did his hat she say that's a cow and a cow don't eat crawfish come on let's go and they walk 30 more feet a little baby coffee chocolate bar some more i guess mama probably said what's the matter and they say what that is what that is mama what all say that's a horse and a heart don't eat crawfish come on let's go when turtle moffitt or mama crawfish chunk of both double hockey reverse little baby crawfish said what's a man my mom what's the matter she said you see the animal up at you and they say yeah hey that's occasion and he's any damn thing i guarantee you it's okay oh yeah for people who don't know we talked briefly about cajuns they immigrated from uh canada originally came down well they they came from france to nova scotia then they had sense enough to come to south louisiana and should we show this here oh yes i think we should i want to show you how to eat some of that this is a plate a large plate a lot of people say that they go in and eat shrimp these are just almost you say they're beautiful yeah would you like me to show you how it's done you know i really don't know how to do this i don't think i've ever eaten crawfish just haven't lived yet you know that right that's a crawfish first of all you do that get that fat can you
