[@leem9886]

[@sandypusineri1459]

This looks like it's her first time.

Never heard anyone from baton rouge without a southern accent

[@bobhead7730]

Glad she said to put the craw fish to my mouth, I would have been completely lost when I arrived at that point 🤦🏻

[@CyborgkillerX1538]

soon as I heard this lady say BR is the “home of the crawfish” I already knew this video was gonna be some bs💩🤡

[@VaderLS1]

Yep! I have never seen a single crawfish pod in BR! 🤷🏻‍♂️🤣

[@egyptwhite1756]

girl I ain't here no cute Louisiana accent and I'm from NY. I knew this shit was bs

[@greghunt7724]

lololol. it's not different than New Orleans saying they are the home of Mardi Gras. It actually started in Mobile, AL, lololol

[@tillyoudiefromit]

all that wasted claw meat

[@riner9]

waste of time unless they're massive crawfish

[@bogdantureac4662]

head fat and juice yes but not the claws they are too small

[@sandypusineri1459]

tillyoudiefromit exaclty

[@cristianmccullough4374]

thats obviously her first time doing that

[@sandypusineri1459]

Cristian Mccullough frrr

[@tokindaddy420]

She's missing alot of meat twisting it that much. Just twist slightly and you'll get more meat hidden closer to the head

[@edgarfavela7120]

You can be quiet

[@cristianmccullough4374]

[@paulbly3434]

wrong on so many levels. And, she claims to be from Louisiana.

Paul Bly that's what I said I'm from Alabama and I known that

[@jusme1705]

make a video. show us the proper way

[@phillyphill512]

I agree, and I'm from Texas

[@diaryofamadswan2806]

mai philaphaeng she doing it how white people do it

[@Cjx0r]

hmmm no. Alton brown is pretty white and his method makes her look like a little girl. Just pull the meat right out.

[@creepincarl]

She made that look extremely difficult. If she takes that long to get to one tail, I can't eat with her. We'd be all day waiting for her to finish. She literally sat there and peeled the whole tail and made a terrible mess.

[@bangman7133]

C Sanders fax Bri

[@yodiggity3351]

I’d definitely eat with her. More for me 😄

[@creepincarl]

You can cut her some slack. She gets nothing but flack over here.

*How to properly NOT peel a crawfish* 😂

[@lukeskywalker5768]

I know exactly how to eat Crawfish, I'm just too excited for the season this year

[@LittleOlMo]

Thank you , that was very helpful

[@dizzywun1950]

[@kdogg8037]

Shit I’m from Souf Cak n eat bout fiddy leven of em by da time she finish one! 🤣 🤣 🤣

[@jonsnipe5484]

wrong...u lift tail push it in then pull out u get all the meat

[@trinaj9749]

@Debra Brown I agree

[@raven800plays]

this is similar to how i did it the first time i ate crawfish

[@jez6078]

I can't eat any type of seafood that requires me to crack something open. It's particularly nasty when it has it's head still attached.

[@panklady]

Nooooo! Who lied to her? I'm from New Orleans and she has it all wrong!

[@ThePregoBarbie]

lol there was a struggle. There's definitely easier and quicker methods!

[@TheSilentAssassin99]

That's so wrong and I'm not even from Louisiana

[@faruqali869]

NOOO! That is how NOT to eat crawfish

[@tegamingother]

That lady just explained how to give good crawfish head... Sounds delicious 😋

[@yungamare4750]

your missing out. You have to break the tail off. drink the juice from the body. which tastes delicious. then rip the head off and drink that too. then you eat the tale. the juice inside is from the seasoning. not body juice or anything. They take that stuff out when there feasting them. Some people eat the yellow stuff inside. it's healthy

[@markfrederick6202]

the yellow stuff inside is fat. just FYI

[@LGSPTJ]

​@Mark Frederick FYI, the yellow stuff isn't fat. It's called hepatopancreas. Basically, it's the crawfish version of liver.

[@bananabread5858]

omg.. you're meant to twist the head a bit, after that, gently push it in the head so you can get all the meat instead of pulling it out quickly. That's when you get a straight line of meat ( 0:44 ) which you don't want so you gotta push the tail towards the head. Then just bite the meat and press the tail so all that meat can open up to the world. Some might be saying take the first ring out first, but you don't have to since you pushed the tail inwards the head.

[@connorrichey60]

I just twist the tail pull it of grab the tail meat with my teeth and pull it out and I get all of them meat out

[@thedippinamerican9341]

Damn I'm from New York and I eat crawfish right! She does it the hard (and stupid!) way! Here's a step by step for ya kids! 1. Grab the craw. 2. Straighten the tail. 3. Push the tail into the body and twist. 4. Pull. 5. peel first "ring" off of tail. 6. Bite firmly onto the meat, pinch the bottom of the tail hard (to free the meat) 7. Pull the meat away and eat. 8. Lick the seasoning from outside the head. 9. Bite down about an inch up from there the tail was on the body (to avoid a mouthful of guts.) 10. Suck the juice and fat out. 11. Repeat until crawdaddies are gone!

[@jonsnipe5484]

The Dippin American exactly right

[@navouu5311]

The Dippin America What about the claw meat? Pshh talking as if you eat it right

[@twisted1thunder723]

Appears you DON'T know how great they taste, like it's your first time. I've seen it done differently.

[@Leelz247]

Do you eat the claws?

[@brsugarbabe]

What does it taste like?

[@ravageslayz2572]

She forgot about the claws

[@VaderLS1]

First of all, Baton Rouge is NOT the “Home of the crawfish!” Even if you’re NOT New Orleans. Most of the crawfish come from Crowley. You don’t wear bibs, they’re not lobsters! You definitely don’t eat them out a a little bitty bowl. We also don’t pick up each one and look at it to determine the best way of peeling it. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤣🤣🤣

[@EliC09]

Seems like it's her first time peeling crawfish

[@hssportsinmichigan]

I just served up 3 l b.s. for MSU, they losst but food gone in 10 mins

[@dreajp]

I swear, people act like people from different parts of the Southeast don't eat crawfish right. I see so many people saying she's wrong. And some that say she's wrong explain how her way is stupid and how they do it. But someone replies on their comment that they're wrong. If there are so many people that are saying it's wrong, why should anyone care? Just eat the damn crawfish LOL 😂 y'all would be fucking starving by the time y'all decide who's right.

[@oldboudreauxneworleans1081]

Ok there is a right and wrong way. I'LL tell you why, if she's eating by herself that's a good way to show someone. But on the other hand if your sitting with a group of experienced crawfish eaters, and you put in on them, you need to know the right way to get your money's worth. Because people won't stop or slow down because your eating slow, or don't know what you're doing. My mom had 10lbs. she was gonna cook something with and she said don't eat them all, BUT , no one told my dad that, he walked in and went to work in less than 3 minutes he was done and out. We was trying to figure out how to tell my mom what happened, because he ate and got out of there so quick, he sit down in the front room like nothing happened and didn't say anything. So yes, there you go why there is a right and wrong way to eat them . And if there good you need to know. As always PROVE ME WRONG, I'M OLD BOUDREAUX I'M OUT

omg so many things I could clown on, who wears a suit to peel crawfish.

[@giggityeffyou]

Lmfao I didn't wanna laugh cuz she seems like a nice person but I laughed at that. At the end Of the video she mentions wear jeans and a shirt you don't care about

[@trinaj9749]

If you watch til the end she clearly said wear jeans and t-shirt when you eat crawfish

[@dakarahandchacha777]

Doing it too cute!

What if I chewed it whole like a shrimp?

[@Karim-cu9ex]

Say hi little craw fish

[@MargarRuns]

Thank you! I went to the store to buy crab meat (freezer section, Asian market). Right next to the imitation crab I read “cr” and threw the package into the cart. I now have “cr”awfish in my freezer. 😆

[@xinz1837]

whats the fastest way

[@oldboudreauxneworleans1081]

Pinch and pull that's the fastest way, LOUISIANA people say Pinching Tails and Sucking Heads, that's Crawfish, Shuck Me , Suck Me , Eat Me Raw , that's Oysters , LOUISIANA Flavor Baby

[@oldboudreauxneworleans1081]

The fastest way is Pinch and Pull, that's Crawfish, Shuck Me , Suck Me, Eat Me Raw that's Oysters, Thats LOUISIANA Flavor Baby.

[@PastorPeewee20]

Wait from Louisiana but named Virginia -pilot? And being from Louisiana u don't suck the juices nor do u cook with that cajun spice?

[@jacobrobertson193]

Thank you

[@jchrysta]

I always wanted to know how to eat these, thx!

[@phillyphill512]

If you wanna know how to eat crawfish, don't listen to her advice. She don't know a thing about eating crawfish.

[@codydagoat3341]

“Some people enjoy the head” 😁 “but I don’t like the head” 😕 “but the head is juicy” 😍

[@rich925]

I can’t believe she thinks this is the right way

[@tomjohnson3004]

Good vid

[@sheritaskitchen1820]

Looking bomb

[@EricaYE6]

TWIST, PULL, PEEL, PINCH, EAT, BITE & SUCK are the steps for eating crawfish.

[@patricewhite9044]

She really at work eating crawfish lol

[@kimgafvert8624]

I’m from sweden so i know how to eat crawfish, we even have a holiday for eating crawfish. First off twist the tail that they did and maybe (if you want) give it a little suck. Then take off the shells from the tail, THEN THE MOST IMPORTANT, be sure to take the black string off the tail, because that crawfish shit. Then twist off the ‘thumb’ part of the claw and suck and eat the meat that comes off. There you go you Americans.

[@jamesmadison7551]

I love!!! crawdadding!!!

[@raven800plays]

first time i ever ate craw fish was last month and instead of twisting the tail off i was able to pull the tail up and crack it off. i was able to pull more meat out of the head with all the deliciousness inside. there was not much left to suck from the head after that.

[@codeine2crazy]

She too neat with it

[@fusionmechanic1]

my crawfish insides look like he shithimeself to death do i eat the diearehra soup as well

[@oldboudreauxneworleans1081]

That's the fat he stored up that the crawfish flavor it's the good stuff

[@kalvinflowers6178]

That baby finger though.... lol

[@houstonb9646]

She forgot to clear the waste deposit (shit) on the back of the tail before eating

[@oldboudreauxneworleans1081]

No, no , no you don't do that then you take away the flavor, we need to hold a first time crawfish eaters class Crawfish 101 .

[@oldboudreauxneworleans1081]

No, No, No you don't do that, you'll take away the natural Crawfish flavor, Dam we need to hold a first time crawfish eaters class called Crawfish 101

[@t123ooth]

What about the mud vein?

[@wademathias151]

[@partygetstaywetter]

Wade Mathias it's not a big deal

[@preciouswilson1612]

Right

[@EllaCruzfansite]

THIS WOULD BE VIRAL IF IT WAS ASMR

[@Ulandus]

What about the claws? Looks like everybody are after the tail meat.

[@DemonSlayer9166]

U got to suck all the juice from the head and eat the babies in the head also but if the inside of the head is very dirty just throw it away. That’s what I do

[@_esmeralda_5112]

Watching this at the restaurant LMAO

[@brejackson5311]

Who eats with bibs ???

[@TheKristyle79]

Bre Jackson My husband asked the same thing. We had Crawfish today in Bossier City and he was laughing at the ppl walking around with bibs on at the buffet, lol.

[@APKP5six2]

Her: can I be done yet? Him: just suck

[@justandy7752]

There a black line on top between the tail meat and you need to take it out..

[@heal-thylife77]

There is an easier way :D

[@msj.randel1496]

Hmm never ate crawfish, but I think I'll try it but I'll pass on the head ..thank you good video.

[@gamirellabeauty2850]

I'm from baton Rouge to❤😘

[@tms7729]

Remember to take the mudline out. I just be seeing people pull the meat out the tail and pop them in their mouth ( yuk). That tail has a whole mud line in it. Remove it then eat.

[@oldboudreauxneworleans1081]

How to clear that mud line up , they have to purge them, by ether running them under water, or putting them in a tub of water and sprinkle salt on them and they will spit out the mud.

she said if u from new orleans u disagree with me umm yes baby i sure do 😂
