    I remember a few years ago I overheard some classmates debating this topic and decided to research whether or not cereal was a soup for my homework, as a joke. And I debated that for anyone who says soup is a dinner food and cereal is a breakfast one. That in Sweden they have a blueberry soup that they typically eat for breakfast. It's called Blabarssoppa. Essentially it is boiled blueberries with cornstarch and sweeteners. So, if that is considered soup then cereal is soup. And that goes along with other things like cream of wheat, oatmeal, ect. Following along with Micheal's, "Is milk the icing to the cereal?" question; I stated that milk is to cereal as chicken broth is to vegetables. ((Keep in mind I defined soup as a thick or thin liquid with added chunks for texture or flavour. Which both the blueberry soup and cereal fall into that criteria.))

    Fun-fact: In italy, milk with leftover bread is called "zuppa di latte", wich literally means "milk soup". It is also used for other things that absorb milk such as cereals, or nothing at all.

  • @zestotemp
    @zestotemp ปีที่แล้ว

    “Building” actually makes sense. “Build” probably comes to us originally as an intransitive verb meaning to grow. Though, we long ago adapted it as a transitive verb. The building upon inspection appears to be growing, or “building,” out of the ground.

    And there' a question - is it a salad or soup? I personally think it's a salad, because it firstly cooked as a salad.
