?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?

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.

      I hadn't looked at the actual posts on Instagram. That's sad, then. The shop opening hours are still shown at the top of the page. I  guess changing them wasn't uppermost in her mind under the circumstances.

      Review for kitchen fitter - Top Marx

      By alshaw40 · Posted

      I want to recommend the kitchen fitters Top Marx kitchens. They were excellent from the communication, the planning and the fitting. John did a fantastic job of of fitting and worked around and solved many of the issues we had with Ikea who we purchased from. John gave lots of helpful advice and support. We would definitely use them again for any kitchen work. I have added before and after photos.
