Whlie I was in New Orleans I had the good fortune of being invited to a Crawfish Boil. A lot of New Orleanians call it a "berl," like they say oil as "erl" and orange as "ernge."
Anyway, the crawfish was delicious, albeit a little too spicy for my European taste buds, but it was great to be partaking in that great Louisiana tradition. For a while some of us beat the heat inside and I learned how to play some songs and we all had a sing-a-long to Call Me Maybe and All Star.
