Yeah my first time I cooked 130 bucks worth of crawfish that tasted like dirt, complete with the grit and all. I've got a perty good idea what I'm doin now.
Yeah man their tract is full of mud and parasites purging is a must. TB, sounds like you met a couple of Cajuns that don't mind the essence of bayou. 
Wonder how Phil does 'em.

The Hot Pepper said:... essence of bayou.
I grew up just a stone's throw from Armand Bayou, but I guarantee we knew good and well how to clean shrimp, crawfish, crab, etc. (It is also very close to Kemah, where shrimp boats at least used to dock - not sure if they still do any more.) No "essence of bayou" was ever found on our plates! Of course, Phil being from Louisiana and all.....
(Just ribbin' ya, Phil!)
Holy crap G!
Kemah, Seabrook, etc.
That whole area used to be Texas shrimp & oyster central!

the saltwater purge is more of a myth than anything.
LSU published a study awhile back finding
that LSU study also made note that the old practice of not eating a crawfish with a straight tail had no basis in truth either.

I was back down in Louisiana this past weekend and got to go over to my favorite crawfish joint in Monroe, Cormier's. talked to the guys there and they don't use a saltwater purge at all either. Said they generally do a 12-18 hour cycle in circulating fresh water and that does the trick. best crawfish in north Louisiana.

I don't know where this post belongs.
All I know is I been drankin all damn afternoon, and I made something good.
Wanted to post in crappy food...or pizza...or last spicy meal...f**k it, I been drankin Busch Lights.
Yesterday, my boy and I snacked on some fried chicken from the grocery store. We only ate a few pieces.
Today, I made pizza for the kids, and figured I'd scrounge for myself.
Took the leftover dough, shredded up some leftover fried chicken, cayenne sauce, pickled japs, pepperoni, mozzarella, folded like a calzone, topped with olive oil and garlic salt. And a bunch of SoFLo signature Busch Light.
It was really good.

Make a bigger one of those, FD. I need a new sleeping bag.
Nice calzone! Yup, calzones are just pizzas folded in half... and dats a winner.
After reading the first description I was thinking crappy thread! But looking at that last pic you made the right choice! I'm half drunk and I would eat the shit out of that calzone!
I'd totally slam that when in a drunken stupor….. otherwise I avoid pepperoni. 
I'm still scratching my head tho … you made pizza for the kids and there was leftover dough?!?! My son used to scarf pizza (and managed to keep looking like a stick…) like there would never be another pizza on the planet again. Even frozen he'd eat half at one sitting. Fresh? Fuggetaboutit!

Had a SoFlo Sunday of lounging by the pool under the chickee, sippin' on lite beer, and playing with fire. Man stuff.
Had to see what all this hoopla about rice flour was about. So we did some JayT-ing with some buffaloed pork wings.
Damn fine vittles. Crispy. Held the sauce well. Rice flour might be the shizzle.
But the real meal was the hickory smoked country style ribs. Hit that up with a RocketMan habapeno based dry rub.
Chopped and placed on some garlic cheese topped Texas Toast. Then topped with a JHP inspired SoFlo marinated pork wig and some SoFlo Man Gravyesque sauce. (Clear that up FD.)
BOOSH
Wait... are we calling habapeno powder Buckaneer Powder now, RM?
Yeah, we put a metric shit-ton of whatever it's called on that pork. Good stuff.
