Hi Ted. Guess I led you into the fog alright on this one. In this country
Tea is indeed a refreshing hot or cold drink of the Earl Grey type. But it
is also a meal, usually taken around five to six pm. It is a meal that I was
refering to. I might have known I would go and confuse everyone. Drat!

These Crabs are large, red and heavy legged. Great hard, heavy shell. Claws
with large pincers. Full of firm white meat and a delicious flavour. Shell
has lots of creamy, dark coloured, soft sweet meat. I need to know some way
of presenting these with a hot chile base. Got the little recipe off the
bottom of your reply and will sure use that. Hottest regards. Walt. An old
chile-head from the old country.

heard of a cobination such as this.  Perhaps I'm missing the true meaning in
the "true" English english to American english language  transfer.  Tea as
in broth or tea as in the Earl Gray variety?

crab as a treat WITH tea.  AHA!  seeeesh am I slow.

heat level, try the serranos.

heated with serranos, onions, yellow bell peppers, grape tomatos, and a
splash of olive oil and some basil is wonderful!

nice large Crab for Tea. I fancied it with chile peppers, but how to do it?
All I could think of was to dress the Crab and put all the meat into a bowl
with a few chopped green Cayenne peppers. It turned out to be a treat but I
cannot help feeling that I missed an opportunity to be chile creative here.
