Ok, can somebody settle an argument. Do you eat soup, or drink it?

I would say it depends on what soup it is

Eat .

If chewing is required then you're eating it, if not then drinking, maybe?

Depends on it's consistancy. If it's completely smooth, you drink it. Otherwise, you eat it. Either way - it involves ingestion...

You certainly have to eat Big Soup.It is more like stew.

Slurp.

I'm saying you eat it, but my friend is adamant you drink it.

You eat it and there is a proper way of doing it

I pondered this - and surely the same could be applied to porridge (ie consistencies), but nobody would say that they "drink" porridge I don't think?

Oh yes, Mrs T - there certainly is .

I was taught as a child and have never forgotten .

I do have a set of soup spoons.

But do I use them?

I have a set of soup spoons and I always use them when I have soup .

Slurp!

On another note, Heinz Vegetable Soup is the best soup on the planet.

I was taught how to as well Big


You are meant to push your spoon away from you and you are meant to use your side bun to wipe away the drips from your spoon

But you could do what I do and dunk your bread in

Baxters Flameroasted Red Pepper & Tomato.
Superb.

I know how, I just don't choose too.
The same way that I have cake forks and other paraphernalia that are never used any more.
Shame really...

lmao same here

I've got steak knives and all sorts but lets face it you just tuck in

You have to enjoy food , says she who had a butty for her dinner

You know the best food I adore is food that you can eat with your fingers, don't ask me why but I do

But then it wouldn't be porridge - it'd be a bowl of milk with a few porridge flakes in it

Drink soup
Drink consommé
Eat stew
Eat broth
Eat cawl <--- my favourite. In fact I'm making some tomorrow

No - it would be very thin porridge, or thick milk, depending how you look at it .

Cawl. Looks good.

It's what Googles for.

Consumed

By definition, one drinks soup because it is a liquid. It is possible to eat the bits (if it has got bits in) but they are not the soup itself.

I have always supped my soup - likewise my porridge.
