I was pretty surprised at the lack of soups in even the places where, when I
and a guest walked in, we were pretty much the only white faces amongst the
other diners. But maybe they can order off a different menu! Don't scoff,
in another post (I forget which one) someone went to an Asian restaurant and
asked what they have that isn't on the menu. Never occurred to me to do
that.
