We've talked sandwiches.... what's your favorite kind of soup? Does soup have a weather? Do you like soup as a meal or do you prefer something more forkable??

Soup is a perfect food. A good chowder, tomato or chicken can sooth the soul. And sometimes it's the only thing edible in a hospital cafeteria.
 
Walk, or take public transportation. Boston is pretty bad, traffic wise, as well.

As someone who gave up my car 5+ years ago and take public transportation to work every day, I fully endorse public transportation where available.

It's just not available or convenient in so many places

Agreed.
Worse traffic for me was LA.

Favorite soup ever is Cullen skink, a Scottish smoked haddock chowder.
More accessible would be a New England clam chowder or lobster bisque.
Definitely not a soup in the heat of summer person, but good the rest of the year.
For a meal? Would have to be a chowder. Or tonkotsu ramen.

Yeah there’s no reason to drive in DC unless you’re leaving the city. The traffic is bad downtown because people commute. Actual DC where people live isn’t that bad.
 
All you clam chowder people, thanks for making me remember the clam chowder fountain in The Good Place

Cullen Spink freshly prepared is delicious. Can't say I like summer soups that much (e.g vichyssoise or chilled tomato and basil))
 
What a surprise, a soup question. Shrimp gumbo. I’ll eat it any time of year, any time of day. It’s a meal.
 
Favorite Soup?

Broccoli cheddar. Potato. French Onion. Tomato. Vegetable.

Always with crusty bread and usually only during cooler weather.

The many cooler weather comments are interesting as I'd always heard this was more of a Northerner thing. I've always encountered soups at meals as a part of the meal or the main course. The types of soups though did differ seasonally. Fresh vegetable soups and stews began as soon as the gardens began coming in. More hearty soups when it began going into fall and winter. Interesting.

Generally I like soup. Among my favourites:

Home-made Northern Ontario style Ham and Split Pea (Thick and rich; much better than French Pea Soup. Yep: I want to start a fight with my fellow Canadians). Serve it with Johnny Cake (cornbread)
Tomato, just like mother used to open
Roasted Red Pepper (with little 1 inch square grilled cheese sandwiches as croutons)
Leek and Potato
Minestrone
French Onion (since I made it, I can't stand the packaged kind any more)

But my all time favourite, from my neighborhood pub is Cheddar Ale. Twice a year they make it with Guinness instead of whatever beer isn't selling well. (St. Paddy's day and Arthur Guinness's birthday).

Grilled cheese sammiches and tomato soup require no specific weather, they just need the clock on the wall to be ticking by.
 
One of my favorite memories growing up was visiting my Grandma every summer. We'd wake early in the morning before it was too hot out and pick blackberries. We'd come home and make them into blackberry pie. :rose:

Excellent idea!
I'll save it. I like to break up the serious questions with food. ;)

I LOVE pies and cobblers! Heck, I may bake one now. I have black raspberries, cherries, peach and rhubarb available now.
Spending time with grandparents has to be the best thing ever, they have so many things to teach, and amazing stories to tell. Grand memories.

What do you have a ridiculous fear of? Something your logical mind knows better but some little place in the back of your mind still gets chilla thinking about....

Clowns. Dolls. Doll eyes. Marionettes. Ventriloquist dummies.

I know, I know.
I just do.

Fiddlehead ferns. They just look like they're coiled up and ready to strike.

Fucking zombies, man. Fuck those things. Especially the slow, inexorable stalky ones.
