I've had them in Louisiana, along with crayfish (or "crawdads" as they're called there). I agree.

Kind of chewy and tough. Need a lot of garlic & butter. Not my favorite. I'll take raw oysters instead.
When it comes to French cooking I find myself liking simple stuff from the country more than haute cuisine. In summertime I'll make pan bagnat, which is a layered raw vegetable sandwich with boiled eggs and an olive marinade sauce on a baguette. I like a daube au provencale, beef stew cooked in red wine with onions and peas and served on boiled red potatoes. My mother used to make a cassoulet with white beans, lots of onions, and meat cooked for hours in white wine, then the whole thing baked. And then of course there's bouillabase, who could not like that?
