I had the title of Honorary Coonass bestowed upon me because I ate
1/2# of mudbugs and sucked the heads on every one of them, plus, I
drank a six of Dixie (which the locals found even more daring). You
dump a boatload of powdered cayenne onto salted water, toss in the
crawfish, and bring it to a boil, then let it sit covered until it
cools. The fatty tissue between the tail and the head soaks up the
chile, and turns reddish-orange. I don't recommend sucking the heads
unless you are a drunken punkrocker, and that goes double for drinking
Dixie brand beer, which is awful.
