Went to lunch with a client at the Irregardless here in Raleigh, NC last
week.

(Yes, that's the name, no, it's not a word, I think that's the point.)

This place is an old Raleigh fav, a lot of vegetarian and light fare. I
usually get something called Neptune's Pasta with scallops and fettucini,
sundried tomatoes, etc. but they had no scallops this time.

So I got a soup and sandwich. The sandwich was nice--half a pumpernickel
with melty swiss and all kinds of finely chopped vegetables. The include
tabouleh (sp) as a side dish and it is always very fresh so I got that.

To the point: We got cups of what the menu called "roasted red pepper crab
bisue" and I expected a sweet pepper taste in this creamy soup but it was
SPICY, clearly
had hot peppers in it. I enjoyed it, though the spice nearly overpowered the
crab. My client sent his back--it was just way too hot for him.

Anyone ever made anything like this?
