An Affront to the National Dish of Texas

Tonight at the Singapore waterfront I was at the scene of a crime. It seems that the most popular seafood dish in Singapore is a crab the size of a dinner plate covered to what is reported to be chili. One of my colleagues and fellow Texan Bill of Plainview put forth the theory that the mud crabs smelled so bad that they had to something to cover it up to make it more palatable. To further support the “odor” theory the next crab that hit the table was the “Chili” crabs first cousin the “peppered” crab. It had so much pepper on it that it looked like it survived the Valdez oil spill only to be missed by the PETA wash crew.
…and to top it all off! I got chili on the front of my shirt.
