By the way, I came up with the idea for a soup only restaurant sometime before the soup nazi episode ever appeared. But I was a poor college student at the time with little and no capital -ho hum.

Question:

Do you 'eat' soup or 'drink' it?

If it's in a cup I guess you would be drinking, whereas in a bowl you eat it... But you are basically doing exactly the same thing.

I'm currently petitioning the people at the Oxford English Dictionary to add a new word, 'Eank' (pronounced 'eenk'), to describe the ingestion of soup.

What do you think?

And..if it's in a cup and you say you're "drinking" it, is it then a "drink"?

I don't dispute that... Although would three courses of diferent flavoured soup be considered a 'meal'? Is it a 'meal' if you 'eank' in util you are full?

Inquiring minds want to know!

I'm sure if you cram enough croutons into a bowl of soup it would become more of a meal, due to a thicker, bread-like consistency.

Has anybody ever said "He really made a meal of that soup?"

Hem....tricky one!! If you dig inn soup until you are full you have eaten, but have you eaten a meal? If you eat m and m s until you are ful is that a meal? If it should turn out to be a meal it sure is a crappy one!

When I was in graduate school at Purdue years ago, a friend from Ireland referred to "drinking soup". This struck me as odd at the time, and I think normally we don't refer to it as "drinking".

I had soup for dinner yesterday, I had to eat again two hours leater, it was no real meal.

If the soup is merely a liquid, not a meal. If there is bread, crackers, lumps of foodstuff, it can be considered a meal as it is more filling.

Either way, it is more nutritious than most liquids.

A Drakes coffee cake would still be more filling than soup
