Food :)

I class it as a food, as it was invented to fill you up, not rehydrate you.

Steel Magnolia · 20-10-2009, 01:29 PM

Food much.

'what would you like to drink?'
'Soup please.'

Doesnt sound right does it!

Bovril is delicious

I'd say it's food.

Stellata · 20-10-2009, 03:43 PM

A drink is something that quenches your thirst.
Therefore I see soup as a food, but which can be drunk.
Confusing. >< yeah.

I.Heart.And · 20-10-2009, 04:12 PM

Because I'm pedantic:

By dictionary definition, it's a drink.

Benji · 20-10-2009, 04:17 PM

^^^There, settled.

This thread is now about Ribena.

I.Heart.And · 20-10-2009, 04:20 PM

Ha ha

Power to the people.
What about it?
I used to drink it in cartons as a toddler.
Apparently it rots your teeth.

I'm fairly sure that by dictionary definition, it's considered a 'liquid food'.
:P

I.Heart.And · 22-10-2009, 06:39 PM

I was looking at the definition of 'drink'..

You've really thought this through :P

Food :D

I.Heart.And · 22-10-2009, 07:24 PM

It didn't take much, but yeah.
Took it too seriously.

BunnythesAINT · 22-10-2009, 07:44 PM

It's a bit of both. Soup is awesome like that.

But, the majority of (decent) soup you eat - with chunks and stuff!
TBH., I am also lazy and just googled soup
:P

I.Heart.And · 23-10-2009, 09:15 AM

Oh I didn't consider the chunks.
Such a conundrum.

Lemons! · 23-10-2009, 04:59 PM

Food! Hmmm I'm going to have some now, actually. Oriental style chicken and noodle soup.

consequential · 24-10-2009, 01:14 AM

Its a food and I rest my case and Im going to read the thread now.Its a food cos you can have minstrone and noodle soup ,and anybody who had actually gone about making soup from scratch will vouch for the fact that it is food .I mean blending whole foods ? What else would you call it ??

nowhereman · 24-10-2009, 04:22 AM

Interesting question. As someone who has an ed I tend to think of soup as a drink, that makes it easier for me to eat it, not as much guilt. Yes I still say I "eat" it which kind of doesn't make sense.
