Cream of crab soup

[jaymi2521 13]

I have to go out to dinner tonight. Talk about scared to death of dumping or something. I need to no should I just order a crab cake or cream of crab Soup? !! Help me out guys

Ooo. Either scares me. Crab cakes can be greasy (butter) ask how they are prepared. Also the romulade (sp?) can be mayo based so go light. The crab Soup is the same way. broth based should be a go but cream based, I wouldn't eat in a restaurant. Probably high fat. Get details of how they made. You be ok. :-)

I've eaten crab cakes a couple times, but only in my house where I was able to prepare them without a lot of grease and fat. Like worm suggested, you should ask your server. I used to work in the restaurant biz and any decent server will have no problems helping you find something or making special requests for how to prepare your food (after all- you're paying for it!) It is a little nerve-wracking, but just enjoy your company and evening and you'll be fine. Besides, it's not like you'll be eating a full portion!

Guys I was scared to eat it or anything else for that matter. I ordered the crab cake but I barely ate it.

But on a good note everyone said to me did I lose weight lol. I said a little I can't tell like that on myself but I guess with them I did... All smiles over here
