Can you make crab soup when it rains?
Chef's answer
Folklore says if you make crab soup during a thunderstorm the soup will spoil. Believers say it has happened to them. They blame anything from a drop in atmospheric pressure to the electrical charge in the storm air for turning their soup. Skeptics say thunderstorms have nothing to do with spoiled soup.Oct 9, 1994.
