Eating boiled crawfish is a lot of work. You have to break the tail off just right to get at the meat. And then there is the fat in the body that you eat. I love it. It grosses a lot of people out but that is their problem. I used to have a boss in Houston who every once in a while would feel not too good. I&#8217;d take him to lunch and he, being the good native of El Paso that he was, would order \u00a0tacos. Me from Albuquerque, would order raw oysters and boiled crawfish. I knew that he was going straight home from lunch.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Knockout Roses\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/26540822781\/in\/dateposted\/\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm2.staticflickr.com\/1622\/26540822781_698fa69502_z.jpg\" alt=\"Knockout Roses\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" \/><\/a><script src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" async=\"\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>And this is one of my wife&#8217;s knockout roses home in Tulsa.
