Is Cereal Soup?

[Jimlaad43]

A question that was just posed on the radio, is a bowl of Cereal and Milk a type of soup?

It's a liquid in a bowl with some lumpy bits - sounds like soup to me. If you leave the milk in something spongy like Weetabix, it can all coalesce into a wet, gloopy mess that feels a lot like a could soup. And before anyone says it needs to be hot to be soup, let me introduce you to Gazpacho.

 

[polysmut]

I suppose it is.

That's amazing.
All this talk about 2020 being the year that changed everything has just been confirmed in my mind.

I’m gonna say no because it lacks meat and/or veg and/or thickening agent. Also, if I ask for a soup for breakfast I’m typically not going to get given a bowl of Coco Pops.

 

[polysmut]

I’m gonna say no because it lacks meat

Unless this is classed as cereal. It has meat in.

Are you sure it's not a sandwich?

 

[bjl23]

I'm going to say no, because you don't eat it with a soup spoon.

Not a soup because it isn't made with stock. It can go soupy, but it isn't soup.

This is what the world's come to

Cereal is all in itself vegetable matter, being made from seeds from various grasses. Milk is water, fat and protein. Meat is pretty much just Fat and Protein anyway, so the Milk can be classed as "meat" in this process. The cereal itself is a thickening agent.

Especially Porridge. That is basically Oat Soup.

I do. I also eat pizza rolls with a soup spoon sometimes. Are pizza rolls soup?

Soup is hot.

Cereal is not.

Gazpacho is nasty.

 

[Darla Starch]

But what kind of soup would it be considered as?

 

[TexRex]

Soup is hot.

Except when it's not.

Cereal is not.

Grape Nuts, hot.

Gazpacho is nasty.

Mistaken, vastly.

Are there any soups based on milk?

Other than cereal. *stir*

Eastern European Fruit Soups yes.

 

[MaxAttack]

Absolutely not. What a horrifying proposal. Is there no line people will not cross!

Cereal is not a soup and I will die on this hill as many times as it takes to get some sense out of this crazy world!

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Eastern European Fruit Soups yes.

The plot thickens

Soup is a liquid dish, typically made by boiling meat, fish, or vegetables, etc., in stock or water. You don't boil cereal milk, so I'd say it's not soup.

Cereal is not soup unless you consider anything you place in a bowl as soup. If you have cereal without milk, there is no liquid and it cannot be classified as soup unless you classify soup as anything in a bowl.

The thread is asking about cereal and milk, not cereal without milk.

Beef isn't soup either but beef soup is.

Would you classify ice cream as soup then, when placed in a bowl?

 

[polysmut]

Not until it resembles soup in appearance or consistency. The bowl is irrelevant.

What are pizza rolls?

Spoiler: Definitely Not Soup

They look like something you should eat with your hands.

 

[polysmut]

They look like soup in a pouch.

Yes. But did you know Tomatoes are fruit?
