Crawfish Boil

Last night as we were trying to decide what to do for dinner, the answer arrived at the pavilion. Turns out the Habitat project has made arrangements for us all to be treated to a crawfish boil - Louisiana style (they just forgot to mention it to any of us campers but we can be VERY flexible especially when it comes to a free dinner!)

Photo 1 - the guy on right looking in the pot is John (when food is being cooked he's always the first one to arrive on the scene).
Photo 2 - 250 pounds of crawfish to serve about 70 folks (if you've never had crawfish, there's a LOT of waste).
Photo 3 - the "pot" - they throw in tons of seasoning, onions, the crawfish, then let it boil awhile. Then they drop in bags of potatoes, sausage, corn on the cob and cook everything until done.
Photo 4 - some of the crawfish being brought in
Photo 5 - happy eaters
Photo 6 - a crazy Canadian with a crawfish body on each finger
Photo 7 - the serving dish (an actual boat)
Photo 8 - one crawfish who finally became someone's dinner
Photo 9 - back at the beginning again
