?35 for a bowl of soup sounds ridiculously high. Once all the fanfare has passed, and the number of customers begin to dwindle prices will fall and inevitably the shop won't be able to afford to continue. Daylight robbery, the most I've paid for a bowl of soup in a restaurant is 3.95 at the beefeater.

Lou..

I was saying that to cover the rent and rates they would need to charge ?35.00 the average price of a meal and drinks elsewhere in E.D.

Ah yes I see your point now. Usually these soup things work out of mobile portakabin's don't they? It seems a bit of a silly business move to take on a commercial unit in a high rental location, for what is pretty much just, well, soup and salad. I read a fascinating article in the Mail Online back on November about expensive puddings in Scotland. People travel from all over the world to pay ?30 plus for high end desserts. Maybe a high end soup filled with oysters and caviar could work?

WTF. There is someone out there with a brain as big as mine.

I like how American diners/cafes offer soup and sandwich, either a cup or a bowl of soup, plus a sandwich or sometimes half a sandwich. Don't understand why more places don't do that here, but I guess it would be less profitable. My mum used to give us soup and sandwiches on Sunday evenings in front of the TV.

Generally, stews have less liquid than soups, are much thicker and require longer cooking over low heat.

While soups are almost always served in a bowl, stews may be thick enough to be served on a plate with the gravy as a sauce over the solid ingredients.


Hope that helps..

Soup and salad mixed are not uncommon in far eastern cuisine, particularly in Thailand and Malaysia. Fusion cuisine has often matched up bread and wraps with soup and salad. In theory it could easily be done, but perhaps the soup would have to be of a thicker 'stew' like consistency.

Soup in an artisian bread bowl - that's my idea.

      Some posters introduce all kinds of falsehoods in their "search for the truth" which is in fact the last thing they're looking for. Their aim is to cause disruption and doubt, it's all a game for them, one step away from trolling.

      Wow!  Is this the remnants of a wood pigeon?  We occasionally see the feathers following a kill but only once have I seen the hawk in the garden and certainly not like your experience.

      You should be eating humble pie by now,  Why all this interest in unsubstantiated gossip?  It feels like you want it to be true.

      But hang on a minute, did no-one in the Reeves family check that the letting agent had actually done it? #thismaybehowthestorycontinuestodevelop As anyone who has ever dealt with an estate agent knows...trust them with nothing...
