Limited Appeal - The Great Tea/Soup Debate

Limited Appeal

This week Warren presents us with a real quandary in Foody Goody: what is the difference between soup and tea? If you think this is easy, hold on! It's a lot more complicated than you think, and most of the criteria we first propose are clearly violated by one or more exceptions that disprove the rule. Consider the following questions: "If you made a soup only out of leaves, would that be tea?"; "If you eat the tea leaves, does that make it soup?"; "Does it matter what part of the meal the tea/soup comprises?"; "What if you have a cup of tea, and you accidentally drop some macaroni in it?" This is a minefield, folks. It's a wonder that anyone can sleep at night given all of the unresolved questions! If this gives you insomnia that fuels some ideas, send them our way via email ([email protected]). Theme music courtesy of General Patton vs. The X-Ecutioners and Ipecac Recordings.
