I don't need this shit right before bed.

But since you asked... How much cereal do you have to add before it becomes a whole-grain chowder?

[-] blackbrook@mander.xyz 16 points 8 months ago

It's pronounced chow-dah, you heathen!

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 22 points 8 months ago

The cube rule decided this. Cereal is wet nachos.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.ca 7 points 8 months ago

What's the cube rule and how did it decide this?

Welcome to the future. It is a utopia here, where arguments about food categorization are a thing seen only in historical fiction and meme museums.

Ucrustables start as a calzone and become quiche?

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Do you eat the top off your uncrustable like some sort of maniac?

[-] Manalith@midwest.social 3 points 8 months ago

It just specifies unbitten so I'm wondering what it would become and that's what made the most sense.

So then.. only when soup has croutons is it the same thing as cereal. I feel enlightened.

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Anything without a starch is a salad. So lobster bisque is a salad, and potato soup is toast.

Taxonomists exist for a reason, y'all!

Cereal belongs to the genus Granum and the family Lactoi but indeed they belong to the same order as soup, or Pulmenti. And while these taxonomies don't always line up with food evolution theory, we at least believe oatmeal and cereal are cousins from a similar ancestral food. Soup just happens to be a common, perfect form, like crabs.

Chicago deep dish pizza = casserole

[-] BoxerDevil@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

I would never utter those words in Chicago. You will end up as a statistic

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 6 points 8 months ago

For guaranteed suicide in Chicago ... ask for ketchup on your hot dog

I've never been to Chicago but a friend of mine just went there and while he went wandering around, he asked me to research as much as I could about the city to see what he should or shouldn't do.

[-] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Patrice o Neal was on Opie and Anthony one time shitting on deep dish.

I do not think I've ever heard any more upset phone calls over something that matters so little lol

Totally agree.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 16 points 8 months ago

I would say it's much closer to gruel.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gruel

Although soup, stew and gruel are all supposed to be cooked before eaten.

[-] underwire212@lemm.ee 15 points 8 months ago

One could argue that cereal is precooked

I put dry cereal in the microwave for a few seconds, then add cinnamon, then cold milk.

Changed my life.

[-] nxdefiant@startrek.website 12 points 8 months ago
[-] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

I'm making this a thing.

I gave your mom a wet salad.

[-] whotookkarl@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Some moist roughage?

[-] ElderWendigo@sh.itjust.works 11 points 8 months ago

Cereal is just crunchy instant porridge.

[-] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 8 months ago

Does dipping Oreos in milk make it soup?

[-] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 8 months ago

Cookie Crisp and Oreo O's cereals complicate the question in context. If drowning little cookies in milk is cereal and cereal (for the sake of this argument) is soup, then yes.

Fruit empanada.

Tomatoes are fruits... which means salsa is a fruit salad.

[-] Nobody@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

I'm just going to quit eating. It's become way too complicated.

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 7 points 8 months ago

Only if you heat it up.

Cheerios in cold milk = not soup

Porridge = soup

[-] Ioughttamow@kbin.run 19 points 8 months ago
[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 9 points 8 months ago

Gazpacho is a vegetable smoothie

[-] grue@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago
[-] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Additional counterpoint against pedantry: borscht, vichyssoise, okroshka, naengmyeon . . . there are more but my brain is broke.

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 3 points 8 months ago

Gazpacho was a better counterpoint than borscht, as borscht is heated, it's just often cooled back down before serving

[-] Ioughttamow@kbin.run 3 points 8 months ago

God damn i want some borscht

[-] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 3 points 8 months ago

Gazpacho is not soup, is a juice.

[-] Apeman42@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

[Arnold Rimmer disliked that.]

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

What is a soup? A broth? Some vegetables? Using a bean stock, mixed with a little sugar and maybe another bean for flavor, like vanilla, and a splash of cream you can see a latte is a bean broth bisque.

[-] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 8 months ago

Ketchup is a smoothie.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Cereal is only soup if you boil the cereal in the milk.

So oatmeal is soup, a bowl of cold Cheerios isn't.

And before anyone comes up with "but borscht is cold" it is still boiled to create the soup and then chilled before serving. You're not just tossing cold beets and water together and calling it soup.

[-] Tikaszar@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Milk can be pasteurized before consumption. The process varies but can be as long as 30 minutes at 63c. I'd say a bowl of Cheerios with Raw Milk isn't a soup.

It's still a chicken noodle soup if I mix the premade ingredients with a broth and don't cook it.

Whenever people complain about "legalese" or technical language, I always think of the hotdog/sandwich thing. Abstruse nomenclature exists for a reason!

[-] Steve@communick.news 5 points 8 months ago

Can you eat soup dry? Then no they're different.

[-] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 8 months ago

As a tween, one of my favorite snacks was dry ramen noodles.

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
