Hmm. Finland apparently has something very, very similar (a "Finnish Crayfish Party"); they call it a Rapujuhlat. [1] Perhaps naming this page Kräftskiva wasn't the right choice. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 02:04, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Scandinavian crayfish party, with redirects? -- ALoan (Talk) 10:50, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

According to Scandinavia, it's debatable whether Finland is Scandinavian. I wonder if Denmark and Norway have crayfish parties? I'm thinking the page should be moved to the (current redirect) Crayfish party, but I'm not sure. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 15:56, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Oh - how about Nordic crayfish party, or is that just as bad? Does anyone else have crayfish parties? Southern USA, for example? -- ALoan (Talk) 16:05, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Or Fennoscandian, even. Gosh, I would never have expected there to be POV about the description of countries as, or as not, Scandinavian. -- ALoan (Talk) 16:09, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

POV lurks everywhere. I'm just waiting for some Swede to come and tell us that the Finnish crayfish party doesn't count, they just copied it out of spite after a bitter winter war between the two, or vice versa. Anyway. Googling for "crayfish party" pretty much only returns results for Sweden and Finland, at least in the first few pages, so that might be a safe title. I've never heard of a U.S. crayfish party myself. (The town where I work, Tualatin, Oregon, does have an annual crawfish festival, for no apparent reason, though :-) —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 16:17, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Why the heck does crayfish simultaneously have to taste so good and be so difficult to eat? JIP | Talk 18:26, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
