Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Where are most crawfish in Louisiana harvested from?

Answer: shallow ponds of fresh water

Most crawfish ponds are used later for rice paddies.

2. Which of these is NOT used for cooking crawdads?

Answer: Vegetable oil

The butter makes them so much easier to peel!

3. What is the potato of choice to boil with your crawfish?

Answer: small red potatoes

The small body and thinner peel of the red potato soaks up more of the seasoning, giving it a spicy cajun/creole taste.

4. Which of these is not acceptable when eating crawfish?

Answer: picking your teeth with the antennae

Most crawfish lose their antennae in the boiling process.

5. Which one of these is a sauce used with crawdads?

Answer: a mixture of mayonnaise and ketchup

It's cheaper and less harsh than cocktail sauce.

6. What is the most important feature of a custom crawfish table?

Answer: the hole in the middle to throw the heads in the trash

That way, when you're done, all you do is hose the table down and the heads are already in the dump.

7. Name the beverage of choice for Louisiana Crawdad Kings.

Answer: Non-light beer

The full bodied taste compliments the flavor in ways unrivaled.

8. How are servings of crawdads usually referred to?

Answer: flats

Most people eat their crawfish out of soda or beer "flats", the cardboard that holds four six-packs together.

9. Which part of the crawfish is the least desirable?

Answer: the excretion vein

Nobody wants to eat digested mud.

10. Finally, what is the best way to remove the smell of the little mudbugs from your reddened and shriveled hands?

Answer: Lemon juice

However, a member of my family discovered that crumbling a saltine cracker in your hands after rinsing them with water, will do the trick as well.
