    From a purely technical viewpoint, does one 'drink', or 'eat' soup?

    RICH,

    Are you going to answer any of these questions on your thread anytime soon?

    Are there solids in the soup?  Such as leek and potatos?  Or carrots?  Or chicken bits?  Or plastic?

    Or tail of Ox?

    Good rule of thumb for soup is if you can consume it through a straw you drink it. Chicken bits and other stuff dont work so you need to eat it... spoons or even chopsticks are recommended.

    My soup contains not tail of Ox, but Sausage of Toulouse (and other consumable lumpen ephemera). It's therefore clear that I eat it.

    Thanks for taking time to clear that up. I love this forum, it's like Wikipedia, but interactive – and a lot more factual.

    I'm currently investigating the difference betwixt soup and broth. As you can see, the intellectual pursuit has just cranked up a notch.

    I am not Orford or indeed Rich in name or status but.....

    SOUP = type of food.

    BROTH = a type of house of ill repute.

    Hope this helps :) You really do need to know the difference between these two in case your mummy sends you down town with a pound to purchase some soup and you do not end up at the shopping mall.

    A broth is any meat, fish or veg boiled or simmered in liquid! So technically a soup is a broth but a broth is not necessarily a soup!

    Could you draw a Venn diagram to represent that, please?

    Trevor Harris was bemoaning the fact that Venn diagrams are taught in school and never used so I feel that I need to include one to disprove his point.

    Blimey, it's pretty tricky getting that whole simmered/boiled meat, fish or vegetable Venn thingy proportionally correct, I'll tell you. 

    It's a lot easier to illustrate Maxally's conundrum, and more fun too, but you'll never get it past the mods.

    I thought that it looked more like an egg.
    I'm not sure what Freud would make of that.

    Probably that you want to sleep with your mother because she used to make you eggs.  Then again Freud said that anything any of us do or anything we dream about means we want to sleep with our mother.  Moral of the story?  Freud's mother must have been well fit.
