Open RP Post? OPEN RP POST!!



This one isn't specific to any one universe at all.

It could be Gwen's original universe. It could be a different fandom all together. It could be *anything*. The girl hops through the multiverse. It's bound to happen. Just...be nice if it's not a fandom I know and I get stuff wrong, okay?

BUT! just as before:

Post a quote. An image. A song. A starter. A meme idea we can roll with. Just gimme. Let's have some fun.

Crawfish 101 a.k.a. adopted family bonding

The seafood boil took time, it was an art really as much as anything, and the big old pot that it boiled in smelled like every rich spice and flavor that the sea could bless you with rolled into one delicious aroma. Sarah lifted off the lid on the pot, which could hold approximately three small children, and gave the bubbling contents a good stir, clams, bright red crawfish, shrimp and blue crab along with chunks of ears corn and halved lemons and whole red potatoes. It had boiled for hours until the scent was drawing people in from across the way.

That was about when it was done and Sarah hefted the big pot off the heat and to the dump table where it was, aptly enough, dumped. A self serve banquet awaited from there. Gwen was encouraged to help herself to some of everything, except the beer. Sarah made that very clear. But took a seat next to her to instruct her on the finer points of how to 'properly' eat crawfish. In truth there were as many right ways to eat it as there were family recipes for gumbo in the NOLA.

"Well there are traditional ways to eat crawfish, most people just eat the tail meat and that's fine. It's good. That's where the meat is." She demonstrated by pinking up what looked like a miniature lobster giving it a twist behind the legs and separated the head from the body. She gripped the exposed meat with her teeth and pulled it out and chewed the tail meat. Her other hand still held the head, and after she finished chewing she held that up as well.

"Now the real Cajun thing, is bite the tail, suck the head. See when you boil the crawfish all the seasoning and flavor gets steamed and goes right up to it. So you just put it to your mouth," She looked at her expression and laughed. "No, I'm not kidding." She put the edge of the crawfish where she'd broken the tail away to her lips and sucked out the juice as one might suck on a lime when doing a shot.

She tossed the finished crawfish down and sipped her beer. "And that is how you eat crawfish. But you don't have to do the head if you don't want to." She snickered thinking that might be a bit much for the girl.
