  1. Peer too closely at your crawfish/crayfish/crawdad dinner and you are guilty of astacology.

    "...crayfish" is more common in the north, while "crawdad" is heard more in
    central and western regions, and "crawfish" further south, although
    there are considerable overlaps."

    "Australia is home to the world's two largest freshwater crayfish – the Tasmanian giant freshwater crayfish 11 pounds and the Murray crayfish 4.4 pounds."

    "Despite the large-scale production in Louisiana, most frozen crayfish
    available in supermarkets in other states are Chinese imports."

    "Crayfish are kept as pets in freshwater aquariums."

    Taking your crawdad for a walk around town may be a great conversation starter and the niftiest way to meet gals in your neck of the woods.

    Worth reading. Know what you eat. Especially if it can wave at you.

    And I wanna' know why Popeyes doesn't offer the large economy-size Australian crawdad.

    Complain to the firm. In person or in writing. An e-mail to "corporate" would be fine.
