    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?

    The cube rule decided this. Cereal is wet nachos.

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

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

                Oh good catch. I just had an image of you just going to town on the top of your uncrustable, and it made me… feel… things.

          This doesn’t make sense, sushi is toast but not sushi? If you’re using something as a base class for the cube rule, then by definition that thing has to be in its own base class

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

        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.

        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.

        Every person I’ve ever talked to from Chicago says deep dish is a tourist thing. I have to agree with the larger consensus that it’s not that good. Not awful by any means but it’s not good enough for how difficult it is to eat without making a big mess.

      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.

        It’s definitely pre-cooked. But I think the precursor to modern boxed cereal is not gruel but rather breaking up something like a biscuit, cornbread, etc into a bowl of milk.

        One could also classify most if not all boxed cereals as desserts with the amount of sugar in them.

        I stick to just plain oatmeal with unsweetened almond milk.

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

      Changed my life.

      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.

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

    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.

    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

      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.
