Remember our discussion of All the Kings Men, Glen?  The little twitch, etc.  The purpose of Huey Long's political career was to show those New Orleanians that they can't push us farmers around.  When he was governor he even sent the National Guard to occupy the City Hall in NO.  My great uncle helped Long write a book and later ran for mayor of the Crescent City.  He also wrote an article about the "Crawfish" as a play on Long's nickname, "Kingfish", after they had become enemies.

I'm not so sure: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crayfish_as_food

In fact up until about 5 or 10 years ago, my mom used crawfish imported from China in her Lousiana-inspired gumbo [⛧]. She was reared in Beaumont, TX but we have lots of family everywhere BUT New Orleans. New Orleans is NOT Lousiana ... kinda like Fanta Se, I guess. I'm not sure how much of the crayfish in Timothy Lake (Oregon) are the native species. But the crawfish parties I've been to up here are *nothing* like those in East TX and Lousiana I've attended. 8^D ... nowhere near enough gunfire, Budweiser, and "fishing" for drunk friends who decided to check their trot lines at 3am.

[⛧] It's Lousiana, not Louisiana, despite what the lame stream media or your "dictionaries" might think.
