The rainy days during the early spring brought to my mind of the thought that it is mudbug season(crawdads) in North Mississippi from March to May as the bottom lands surrounding Hurricane begin to teem with the âcrittersâ(my personal definition). It has become somewhat of an âin thingâfor the younger generation to host a food fest or a neighborhood boil featuring the Southern delicacy. After they are caught, a brand of shrimp boil is used to enhance the flavor of the local fare as they are cooked. The laid back presentation has newspapers to serve the mudbugs on after they are boiled; so a picnic is just waiting to happen locally without any fanfare. Iâm not real keen on odoriferous foods; so it will be with the open mindset that I take at any wild game supper or reunion if I eat crawdads. There are usually saltines and sweet tea on the menu; so I just load my paper plate and Dixie cup with these and pretend that Iâm partaking of the wildebeest or alligator whole-heartedly(just rearrange the meat and drop on floor if you need too). At stranger, family reunions, I apply the same idea, but I substitute Layâs potato chips and sweet tea. Come on folks and just confess up also as if your âmommanemâ didnât cook it, you just donât eat it! By the way, I offered the familyâs sweet potato and oâpossum recipe to these teens for their fall fest, but they declined. We can talk local sourcing of foods In Hurricane just like Southern Living magazine.
