Of course, the tur-duc-en, mentioned above, might be pretty good! Long as I didn't have to bite the heads off and not eat the dead ones, of course!!

No, no, no! You got it all wrong! We don't bite the heads off, we use our fingers, then we suck the heads! And we would never eat the dead ones!
You must be from someplace weird, like Tennessee! You know, one of those places with small schools that field a great basketball team but can't afford to play football.

Now, see, this is where I draw the line. 
I understand that to make a proper crawfish etouffee one must include the NASTY yellow fat attached to the tail meat in the dish. I will gladly eat it cooked into something, but don't make me eat it wit' da meat!

It's often best if you don't.

Like lobster, crabs and crawfish must be boiled or steamed live. That's why crawfish (like lobster) still has the head attached, so it has to be pinched (never bitten) off. Many people then suck the fat out of the neck area before peeling and eating the tail. (A real Cajun would never steam anything, including vegetables.)
Those that were dead prior to boiling have a different color, and the meat is mealy rather than flaky or firm. Not only do they not taste very good, they can make you quite sick.
This is not an issue with shrimp and fish, BTW, but they do have to be kept on ice up to the moment they are boiled.
I prefer shrimp. I eat crabs, but I won't buy them myself. I will eat crawfish in a stew, jambalaya, or etouffee if I have to, but not boiled. I will not eat oysters or clams, but will eat any kind of fish.
I like alligator, but would never eat frogs' legs!

Mike the Tiger likes alligator and, as we all saw last January, also buckeyes.

Mike the Tiger probably likes "Volunteers" when he can catch 'em too!
Of course, this past Saturday night, the Vols had a nice Kentucky "Wildcat" dinner although the "Wildcats" almost had a "Volunteer" dinner! :?

We are Cajun, not southern. We just happen to live in the south. You can see a map of Acadiana at Wikipedia.
The people and culture of Acadiana bear virtually no resemblance to the rest of the south. We do, however, eat grits.

I agree! You are a world unto yourselves! lol When you look at all the names of the towns and parishes, and just that you use the word "parish" instead of county, shows how heavily the area is influenced by the Catholic Church.
Grits is good!
