Cultural Soups

So a fiend ( note not spelling error….) of mine has been suffering from pains of indescribable intensity; hence being forced onto a liquid diet.
Now in my world a liquid diet is great, we eat many beers… but I suspect they would not find it quite so noutricious.
So they put on their apron:



And started cooking a childhood staple, ABC soup. Now for me this means:




But for them it means:



Which in my book is sweet and sour soup :P not alphabet soup!

Ah well we will need to teach those strange people what the ABC looks like.

  1. A case of you say “Tomato”, I say “Tomatoe”? … Indeed, this is a very good example of different cultures! For the benefit of non “strange people”….to us “strange people”, the term ABC soup is derived from soup which consists of vitamins A, B & C whereby it’s cooked using potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, onions, chicken/pork ribs – as a result, unbelievably sweet with a hint of sourness au naturel soup! …..totally different from LTM’s childhood staple ;)

    Ah well, the strange people most definitely know what ABC looks like! And hopefully, after this, the non strange people will have a better idea ;) *eevil grinz*
