Crayfish party
With the crayfish season in full swing, it is time to draw up the menu for a crayfish party, set a beautiful table and invite a joyful gathering to enjoy a warm evening as the nights begin to draw in.
Crayfish are traditionally eaten on toast with butter and chopped dill either as a starter or main meal. In addition to crayfish, another dish is usually served at parties and the dinner ends with a sweet dessert.
The host should also prepare something to eat for guests who do not eat crayfish. A tasty alternative to crayfish could be globe artichokes, peas in the pod or corn on the cob with melted butter.
Guests can while away many hours at a joyful crayfish party. Rather than strict etiquette, the most important thing is that guests have a good time.
