Variations of a Crayfish Party
When summer changes into autumn and evenings are growing darker, yet you can still feel the warm breath of summer in the air, it is time to arrange the traditional crayfish party. Officially crayfishing season starts from the 21st of July and finishes at the end of October. The history of crayfishing dates back to the classical period, and is mentioned in the writings of Aristoteles. At that time, with the exception of Mesopotamia where crayfish parties were arranged, crayfish were not a delicacy and were used as a medicine for different complaints.
