Show Ever Eat Crawfish Soup? We see In a newspaper an advertisement adver-tisement that reads thus: "Crawfish soup today." We would not object to trying it. The crawfish is a trim and clean little animal. Its habits are fine, and it lives a pure and happy life. It would commend itself as much as a lobster, for it belongs to the same family, and is certainly the more fascinating member of it. The older boys didn't think of crawfish craw-fish soup in their younger days, else it might have been one of the joys of life. Rummaging the little streams for crawfish would have been a favorite fa-vorite sport if the search wound up with a bowl of soup. We tried it once with mussels, but it didn't work. ! They didn't have the faintest flavor of an oyster.. It would have been a great satisfaction, for mussels were plentiful in boyhood days. Crawfish soup, fried mussels, and pawpaws for dessert might have been a sort of kingdom come to a boy before be-fore the war if he had only got on to crawfish soup. Ohio State Journal. |
