Soup Cafe

[actuarygi]

Hiya, what do everyone think about having a cafe that specialise in soup for winter and salad for summer ?

[pablogrande]

You could call it 'David Beckham's Flask'

[Dog duck]

Just what we need...not

[se22cat]

Will you be supplying beard protectors and artisan wooden spoons?

[Seabag]

What about Spring?

It's a grey area, soup AND salad

Have you experience in the industry in general ?

[Louisa]

How about a cereal cafe and somewhere that specialises in organic artisan popcorn of various flavours?

I'm thinking of setting up my own retro 70's drinks stall on GG Saturday afternoons. Snowballs with glazed cherries, babychams (served in vintage bottles). Ahh the hipsters will flock to it, "what are these artisan street drinks the working classes used to drink? Maybe if we drink them we can be even more ironically cool"

And yes I'll charge triple market price.

Louisa.

Guys thanks for the humorously negative comments. On a more positive note the sign is not totally dark. The response rate for this thread is high relative to the average in the Lounge. Controversy may be thought of as the prelude to great thing.

Let me explain a bit. I gather that the word soup is not very fashionable. And perhaps it alludes to the historical phenonmenon of soup kitchen. However, soup is not a bad thing either. A hot broth with chopped vegetable and diced meat flowig down the stomach, accompanied by good quality bread at lunch time can be nutritious, tasty, convrnient and cost effective for sustenance until dinner time. There are many varieties to suit people of different tastes, lifestyle and energy requirement. Soup can also be seasonal. The Spanish has been making cold tomato soup for centuries.

But, interest in hearing your views !

Problem is that with rent on E.D. premises, selling soup and salad is not going to cover that rent..

I'm a big fan of Leek and Potato soup.

It's very nice. I make a blinding Leek and Potato soup.

Would you pay ?35.00 a bowl to help pay for the rent and rates.. ?

I genuinely think it's a great idea. I love my own home made soup. You need a title like a soup barrista type of thing. If there isn't a term already just invent one.

Soup is great but the bread to go with it is important too. I'm sure you can take this idea and soup it up a bit.

I'm assuming the actuary thing has become boring...

I'm not actuary an accountant.

[Mick Mac]

How about calling it "Souper Salad"

[actuarygi]

35 pound a bowl does not correctly reflect the character of soup. The price should be accessible for most people who don't want to cook lunch and simply want a healthy and filling meal against the cold wind and rain.

You could always ask Trio if they are interested?

Partial to Pea and Ham as well.
