Soup

[The Man]

By the way, since BoB cited Wikipedia for the definition of "drink", I feel like pointing out that he didn't even cite the entire paragraph he quoted.

It can be divided into various groups such as plain water, alcohol, non alcoholic drinks, soft drinks (carbonated drinks), fruit or vegetable juices and hot drinks.

Note what category is missing here: Soup. Soup is, however, found on the side dish page, which says:

A side dish, sometimes referred to as a side order, side item, or simply a side, is a food item that accompanies the entrée or main course at a meal.

Notice what is found on this page:

Antipasto
Asparagus
Baked beans
Baked potatoes
Broccoli
Cabbage
Cauliflower
Coleslaw
Dinner rolls or other breads
French fries or steak fries
Green beans
Greens
Macaroni and cheese
Macaroni salad
Mashed potatoes
Mushrooms
Pasta salad
Potato salad
Salad (often a "side" salad)
Soups
Squash

I can't help it that some of you are completely and utterly objectively wrong. There is no hope for you people. The rest of us clearly have the sense to realise that soup is not a drink.

[Chris]

You... are... WRONG.

Manny, look further down the Drink page on Wikipedia, perhaps even do Ctrl+F and search for soup.

If you click on the link, as pointed out twice before, it says:

Soup is a primarily liquid food

Nothing in there about it possibly being defined as a drink under certain circumstances. One case of Wikipedia claiming that it "may be defined as either food or drink" compared to two cases of it unambiguously calling soup a food is not helping your case. In fact the word "drink" does not appear even once in the soup article. Because it is unambiguously not a drink.

I think I will take the word of food service industry professionals over lonny bob. And people who work in hospitals. Everyone knows hospital food isn't real food.

Soup is liquid food, yes. Water is melted ice and toast is cooked bread and adults are grown babies.

I am so offended by this entire conspiracy!

I am polling Tumblr. The number is rising every time I go back.

[Madame Adequate]

The poll has been... corrected.

[Chris]

This is cyber bullying.

[The Man]

Pointing out how wrong you and lonny are is not cyber-bullying, sry.

Also now I kind of wish I had a tumblr so I could like and reblog Pike's entry. Not enough to actually go through the trouble of making one though.

if it were a drink, it would be stocked accordingly with other beverages at your local grocer.

but it isn't.

"Conformists" isn't an insult when one is conforming to basic facts of reality

Jump off the cliff! Don't be a conformist to that pesky law of gravity! See what happens! Maybe you'll fly!

Only Chris and I have been spouting facts in this thread. The rest of you lot are definitely conforming to traditions that have no logic behind them. You are the ones saying the world is flat, Chris and I are the ones saying the world is round! We are making great strides towards the future for humanity, while you cling to the past.

I cook for a living. At one point, a station I was working at I was responsible for making soup. That means I made about 80 litres of soup a week. Not to mention in the summer running hot and cold soups. I worked that station consistently for two years and I have had to make soups at other jobs too, but not to the degree that I did on that station at my current job. I think that making over 8000 litres of soups qualifies me to talk about soups.

Why the hell is this thread still going?

Where do you people get this idea from? This is absolutely not true. Like I said, some of those compact energy substitutions, actually have more nutrition in them than a whole regular meal.

What kind of troutty meals do you eat?
