Tennessee Guest Eating Crawfish & Enjoying Cajun Life

From Tennessee, Ms Betty is eating crawfish & enjoying Cajun Life for the first time ever. Connecting with her immediately, she is easy to talk to and is so full of life.  Traveling with a friend, Ms Betty wanted to experience whatever she could in Cajun country in just two short days before she headed out to New Orleans.

She set no limitations on herself and wanted to soak it all in.  Because the Louisiana Cajun Mansion is centrally located and within 15 minutes of all tourist attractions, she planned to have a good time and didn’t miss anything.  She visited Eunice, Avery Island, Jefferson Island, Breaux Bridge and Lafayette (just to name a few)  in just two days and she didn’t miss a beat.

Eating Boiled Crawfish is always an event in Cajun land and everyone has their own special recipe for cooking this southern delicacy.  Most who visit the Mansion, have never tasted boiled Crawfish, much less ever peeled them.  Well, Inn Keeper, Sandra Booher has made it easy and a delight to eat for those who are not seasoned on the art of peeling crawfish.  She’s created a Crawfish BOWL which literally is a crawfish boil in a Martini Glass.

Ms Betty and her traveling companion ordered the usual Dinner Menu on Monday night and they enjoyed it on the patio:
