Crawfish are one of the most popular foods in Louisiana and I became accustomed to eating them when I lived in New Orleans. Not everyone outside of Louisiana is a fan of mudbugs though. They’re definitely an acquired taste for most people. One that’s best acquired with the help of lots of cold beer. The most popular way to eat crawfish in Louisiana is the Crawfish Boil but, crawfish are delicious in so many dishes, including this cream cheese crawfish spread. The pickled okra is another ingredient in this recipe that is an acquired taste. People either love it or hate it.
