In Värmland they know how to eat crayfish, wasting as little as possible.

First you break off the claws and eat the meat in them, a fiddly job.

behind the eyes where the arrow points.

Cautiously lift off the shell and scrape out the crayfish butter inside it. Edible.

With one finger on each side of the crayfish you can feel something like little horns where the arrow points (to the right and below). If you cautiously seize the horns and lift them the stomach will follow. Throw it away.

Cautiously wriggle the tail loose with as much as will follow it. Break the shell segments of the tail on one side of the underside where the arrow shows and remove the shells. Make yourself a crayfish sandwich with the crayfish tails.

The remaining part you can chew and suck. But it’s a bit hairy and hard, so you can’t swallow it.

Music: You’re The Devil In Disguise

You look like a snapsie,
Smell like a snapsie,
Taste like a snapsie,
So you can’t hide.
You’re the Snapsie in it’s pride!
Oh yes you are
The snapsie in it’s pride!
