I don’t need this shit right before bed.
But since you asked… How much cereal do you have to add before it becomes a whole-grain chowder?
It’s pronounced chow-dah, you heathen!
Say it Frenchie!
Car hold
The cube rule decided this. Cereal is wet nachos.
What’s the cube rule and how did it decide this?
Welcome to the future. It is a utopia here, where arguments about food categorization are a thing seen only in historical fiction and meme museums.
Ucrustables start as a calzone and become quiche?
Do you eat the top off your uncrustable like some sort of maniac?
It just specifies unbitten so I’m wondering what it would become and that’s what made the most sense.
Oh good catch. I just had an image of you just going to town on the top of your uncrustable, and it made me… feel… things.
This doesn’t make sense, sushi is toast but not sushi? If you’re using something as a base class for the cube rule, then by definition that thing has to be in its own base class
So then… only when soup has croutons is it the same thing as cereal. I feel enlightened.
Anything without a starch is a salad. So lobster bisque is a salad, and potato soup is toast.
Like French onion soup?
Taxonomists exist for a reason, y’all!
Cereal belongs to the genus Granum and the family Lactoi but indeed they belong to the same order as soup, or Pulmenti. And while these taxonomies don’t always line up with food evolution theory, we at least believe oatmeal and cereal are cousins from a similar ancestral food. Soup just happens to be a common, perfect form, like crabs.
Chicago deep dish pizza = casserole
I would never utter those words in Chicago. You will end up as a statistic
For guaranteed suicide in Chicago … ask for ketchup on your hot dog
I’ve never been to Chicago but a friend of mine just went there and while he went wandering around, he asked me to research as much as I could about the city to see what he should or shouldn’t do.
Every person I’ve ever talked to from Chicago says deep dish is a tourist thing. I have to agree with the larger consensus that it’s not that good. Not awful by any means but it’s not good enough for how difficult it is to eat without making a big mess.
Patrice o Neal was on Opie and Anthony one time shitting on deep dish.
I do not think I’ve ever heard any more upset phone calls over something that matters so little lol
Totally agree.
I would say it’s much closer to gruel.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gruel
Although soup, stew and gruel are all supposed to be cooked before eaten.
One could argue that cereal is precooked
It’s definitely pre-cooked. But I think the precursor to modern boxed cereal is not gruel but rather breaking up something like a biscuit, cornbread, etc into a bowl of milk.
One could also classify most if not all boxed cereals as desserts with the amount of sugar in them.
I stick to just plain oatmeal with unsweetened almond milk.
I put dry cereal in the microwave for a few seconds, then add cinnamon, then cold milk.
Changed my life.
Wet Salad.
I’m making this a thing.
I gave your mom a wet salad.
Some moist roughage?
Cereal is just crunchy instant porridge.
Does dipping Oreos in milk make it soup?
Cookie Crisp and Oreo O’s cereals complicate the question in context. If drowning little cookies in milk is cereal and cereal (for the sake of this argument) is soup, then yes.
Is a Pop-Tart ravioli?
Fruit empanada.
Only if you boil it
Tomatoes are fruits… which means salsa is a fruit salad.
Intelligence is known that tomatoes are fruit, wisdom is not putting tomatoes in a fruit salad
Unless it is made of tomato, eggplant, bell pepper, chili, zucchini and lemon
I’m just going to quit eating. It’s become way too complicated.
Only if you heat it up.
Cheerios in cold milk = not soup
Porridge = soup
Counterpoint:gazpacho
Gazpacho is a vegetable smoothie
Additional counterpoint against pedantry: borscht, vichyssoise, okroshka, naengmyeon . . . there are more but my brain is broke.
God damn i want some borscht
Gazpacho was a better counterpoint than borscht, as borscht is heated, it’s just often cooled back down before serving
[Arnold Rimmer disliked that.]
Gazpacho is not soup, is a juice.
What is a soup? A broth? Some vegetables? Using a bean stock, mixed with a little sugar and maybe another bean for flavor, like vanilla, and a splash of cream you can see a latte is a bean broth bisque.
Ketchup is a smoothie.
Whenever people complain about “legalese” or technical language, I always think of the hotdog/sandwich thing. Abstruse nomenclature exists for a reason!
