Is a crawdad a crawfish?

It's crawdad if you catch and play with them as a kid, its crawfish when you eat them. In Texas alot of folks refer to the little mud bugs as crawdads, always crawfish in Lousiana our neighbor to the east. If you love food, the best crawfish and Cajun food in the world is at Prejean's in Lafayette, La. if you ever get the opportunity to pass through or go there don't miss this spot.

Prejean's is pronounce Pray shohns for you French speaking dudes!

Is a crawdad a crayfish?
Yup.
Whats a kinish?
Hope its not made outta kin?

Hey Dave

Did I just buy some freon from you on ebay?

Whoops... never mind I just checked It's not you... I'm sure you knew that... Go figue, another Dave in Nixa MO. What are the odds???

Fyi I was born in KCMO and have family in Springfield and Hermitage (just a bit north)

Welcome to the OLF, that goes for all you new folks.

Got some kin folks in Louisiana, well, sort of, my blood is Acadian, which with the years was pronounced Acadjen to later become Cajun, The deportation of 1755 brought some of my Ancestors from Acadie (Now known as the New Brunswick Province) to Magdalen Islands and others to Louisiana. The term cajun is associated with the Louisiana Bros, the others call themselves Acadians.

Ya know this makes for some very interesting reading!

I only have 3 years left to retire and plan on hitting it harder and heavier then. Health, hands, and the good Lord permitting.

Evan, I'm as stumped as K.O. (Who we want to welcome.)
What IS a kinish???

If you like it, it must be good, but let me know before I drive that far up north.

OK I will come clean guys a kinish is either a square or round potatoe filled pocket. Sometimes they have meat in them as well. Generally you get them with mustard and eat them with hot dogs. I say we go all go to the lower east side and I treat my OLF buddies to a tour of Katz's deli.Then I can teach you all the magic of "pastrami and corned beef on rye with russian and cole slaw" pardon the pun but its a religious experience, much like my first jambalaya! My brother went to Tulane so I went down to La quite a bit in the late 80's mmmmmmmm...

Well, I say YAY Katz's deli!
This all sounds good, albeit a little fattening.
You surely know how to tempt a guy.
So you're treating us all to the deli?
When do we come?

Yes Steve you read that right, I will treat any OLFer to lunch or dinner at Katz's deli if they come to NYC to visit. I will be the good will ambassodor for NY Jewish luthiers!! Anyway I figure we gotta slow down some of these builders as they are building too quickly. Nothing slows a person down like a corned beef sandwich.....mmmmmmm
