On Monday night, Pete Aviotti Jr., invited me to join him for the monthly meeting of the Whitehaven Wildlife Gourmet Club. This is a club that was founded in 1965.
They meet on the second Monday of every month at the Boiling Point restaurant in Southaven and enjoy a variety of wild game dishes.
This month, they had frog legs for the opening course and boiled crawfish for the main course.
Man, I think I could eat that particular meal every night.
Frog legs are great - and no, they don’t taste the least bit like chicken. They taste exactly like frog legs.
Crawfish are a lot of work for a little bite of meat. But it’s certainly worth the effort.
In addition to talking with Pete, the special assistant to Mayor Willie Herenton, I chatted with local conservation officer Andy Tweed, Avery Outdoors pro-staffer David Carrington and several new folks who were just as welcoming as they could be.
There’s nothing like being in a room full of people with similar interests - and when you add good food to the mix, it makes for a fantastic night.

Bryan that is a great photo. The only thing I don’t like about crawfish is the fact you have to eat 486 of them in order to get a good meal. I’m a big dude so 486 isn’t a fabrication.

No doubt…They’re a lot of work. But man, they sure are good. Those last night were spiced just right.
