Nah...road kill wouldn't appeal to me even if I weren't a vegetarian *lol* I don't eat pickled pig's feet, ears, lips or tails...*bleeech!* Or pickled anything except pickles...

Not sure which post you were referring to, so I just answered about what most people think we all eat down here...We have, hands-down, the BEST seafood, though. And I have to have my spice. If the boiled crawfish don't make you sniffle and make your lips go numb, there ain't enough seasoning!

I guess it was this post http://cellar.org/showpost.php?p=165191&postcount=13 Crawfish are pets then the're great? Help me out here.

They're only pets if they escape the purging pot or the bag.

Like I said, I can't purge them. I can't even pick out a lobster. If I know I'm personally responsible for them going into the pot, it bothers me. I HAVE to eat seafood, according to my doctor, but that doesn't mean I have to throw it in the pot. I don't fish, and I don't pick out a live fish to eat. Can't pick out a live lobster...can't toss a live crawfish into the pot....it just bothers me.

Some people may see that as being a hypocrite, but I don't. I was a vegan until my doctor told me that I had to eat seafood to keep my iron up so I wouldn't DIE. I love the animals, cute ones and ugly ones, big ones, little ones, avians, mammals, fish, reptiles, bugs (well, except skeeters, fleas, ticks, noseeums...anything that bites me and carries disease....domestic roaches...bleechh!)...but when it comes to my life versus a shrimp's...well...

Sidhe

I would see another doctor. Coming from a vegan whose done tons of research on this, I've never seen any scientific evidence that seafood is required for anyone. There's lots of other ways to get iron (green leafy vegetables, etc.). Not telling you what to do of course, but you just may want to look into it with another doc if you're uncomfortable with the whole seafood thing.

Yeah, we think it's fishy.

BusterB, It's really quite simple. May I explain?

I, too, keep crawfish as pets. I have a special tank that I keep them in for several hours at a time. Drawing below. The special thing about this crawfish tank is that it is self cleaning. Unfortuantely, the cleaning mechanism works really really well so you need to restock the tank with crawfish nearly every damn day.

But, I think you'll agree with me that it is worth the extra effort.

By golly foot, that I can understand. Thanks

There are plenty of vegetable sources of iron. And vitamin C helps Iron to be absorbed 6 time faster.
