What is your favorite item to add to your crawfish boil?
Over the years we have had fun adding items to a pot, to see if they were a great addition or not. The list has grown considerably, and is great to use when boiling 3 or more sacks, and feeding 40 or more people.
Helps to make the crawfish go further, and adds an unusal variety to the "Normal" type boil.
This year we are doing a sack at a time for 10 or so people. So we have scaled way back on the additional items. It got to the point that we had too many vegtables left over by adding everything that is on my list.
So we sat around the table the night before the first boil, and each attendee decided on their favorite item, and then only added a few items.
My personal favorite is Conecuh sausage, and add both the "Fat and Skinny". They make it with two different size casings.
So now on our weekend boil, we add only these items:
Whole Onions, Whole Garlic, small-bite-size red potatoes, brussel sprouts, mushrooms, lemon, and a can of sliced pinapple. The pinapple, like the lemon is for flavor. Adds a noticable sweetness to the pot.
What is your favorite item?
