...separate showers and latrines for men and women. For the first two weeks at Laura's Camp Victory there were no dining facilities, and the food was all trucked in. But one night last week the new mess hall opened with a celebratory dinner of suspicious-looking lobster tail and baked potatoes. "It's cold," Laura says, "but it's lobster and a lot better than what we have been eating"--and far better than what lies ahead...

Nicknamed "mudbugs" because of their natural habitat in the mud of the southern state's bayou or creeks, crawfish were once scorned as food for the poor.
