Is cereal soup?

[Arkantis]

Tonite I was eating a bowl of life and doing my homework, origanally I wanted some soup but I realized that we didnt have any. Right after I realized that we had no soup I got cereal, but soup was still on my mind.
I was looking at my reflection in the window and I was like. "Holy shit, Is cereal soup?"
I mean it is something that you eat thats in a liquid, that would change dramaticly how much soup people all over the world ate if cereal was soup, or is that just a known fact and I was just out of the loop?
Whats the verdict?

[Grav]

I say you stop thinking, it's bad for you.

[Arkantis]

Youre just angry beacuse you didnt realize that you eat soup for breakfast who the hell eats soup for breakfast? Seems like almost everyone to me.

[Grav]

You got me.

[Mantralord]

if i lick semen off the floor is that soup? no its gay

[Arkantis]

No but if you put it in a bowl with chicken and noodles it would be, but then again tomato soup is dosent have anything in it, so maybe licking semen off the floor is soup, but thats off topic.

Milk is not "Meat, fish, or vegetable stock".

Tomato soup is made with milk often.

Cereal is made out of plants right? Is wheat a vegtable? Oh shit.. I hope Im not making to much of a fool of myself, there is strawberrys and bannas in some cerials to peaches in some too.

[Kaneda]

Eating a bowl of life huh?


Kinda makes you want to take a step back and have a little perspective.

[Arkantis]

Yea I know life is the shit.

[!King_Amazon!]

Cereal is made out of plants right? Is wheat a vegtable? Oh shit.. I hope Im not making to much of a fool of myself, there is strawberrys and bannas in some cerials to peaches in some too.

Vegetable STOCK. Not vegetables.

"The broth in which meat, fish, bones, or vegetables are simmered for a relatively long period, used as a base in preparing soup, gravy, or sauces."

According to dictionary.com.

So, a soup would have to have stock of some sort and other things in it to be considered soup. Cereal doesn't have any sort of stock in it.

[Kaneda]

lol so basically you just have to wait for the coco crispys to turn the milk nice and chocolatey.

[Arkantis]

So now witch soups by definition are not soups but are sold as soups?

[Kaneda]

None?

[!King_Amazon!]

lol so basically you just have to wait for the coco crispys to turn the milk nice and chocolatey.

Chocolate+milk doesn't make a stock, you should reread the description. Chocolate doesn't fall under the "Meat, fish, or vegetable" categories.

[Arkantis]

Milk is cows puss so does that count like meat
?

[!King_Amazon!]

Milk is cows puss so does that count like meat
?

Well first of all, milk doesn't just come from cows, and milk and puss are two completely different things. Milk is definately not puss. Milk is a substance produced by the mammory glands of ALL mammals that is very nourishing. Milk is not considered meat.

[Arkantis]

Ok, so cereal is not soup.
At least I learned that cereal is not spelled 'cerial'.

[pr0xy]

Also wheat is a grain. Err I think... But yeah KA is correct. Now, if you were to have your cereal in some nice chicken broth.... It would be soup.

[Dar_Win]

No, no, no! It wouldn't be! Look on the box, it will say it's cereal. Making it still cereal, and not soup.

[Arkantis]

No, no, no! It wouldn't be! Look on the box, it will say it's cereal. Making it still cereal, and not soup.
So if you put a chicken in a cereal box and sell it is it chicken or cereal?

[Arkantis]

How about oatmeal, is oatmeal soup?

[Dar_Win]

You can't sell chicken in a cereal box.

[Arkantis]

You can't sell chicken in a cereal box.
Its the land of the free man. Well at least where I am.

[Lenny]

Yes you can!

Just shred it up et voila! Sor'ed!

[Kaneda]

Chicken Jerky! Just add MILK!

[!King_Amazon!]

et voila! Sor'ed!

What the fuck.

[Sovereign]

Oatmeal is only good in a cookie.

[Vindicate_1476]

Beef jerky with milk? yikes... =/

[Vindicate_1476]

So it's slow cooked soup. It's still soup.

[HandOfHeaven]

Mmm, having soup tonite.

[WetWired]

Maybe cereal is chowder. Isn't chowder milk based?

[!King_Amazon!]

chow·der Audio pronunciation of "chowder" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (choudr)
n.

1. A thick soup containing fish or shellfish, especially clams, and vegetables, such as potatoes and onions, in a milk or tomato base.

I guess cereal might be considered a chowder, but not really. Cereal isn't really a "thick soup".

[sciencekid]

So it's slow cooked soup. It's still soup.

I think what it all means, is that "soup" is a catagory, in which the specific "stew" lies. they are not equal in the pyramid of definition for example a rectangle is a category and the square is in that category, hence a square is a rectangle, but a rectangle isn't a square. confused yet? good. here's something else to chew on: a rectangle is to a square as a soup is to a stew. still don't understand? perhaps I can help: a stew is a type of soup. ok?

[Vindicate_1476]

I thought we were talking about "cereal".

After all these pages we can't find a conclusion? Seems like a simple enough question.

You can't find a conclusion? You must not have READ THE FUCKING THREAD then.

[Grav]

Are you blind? The answer is that yes, cereal is soup.

Im glad somebody agrees with me...

[!King_Amazon!]

Im glad somebody agrees with me...

He really doesn't, he's just attempting to get a rise out of me.

[Lenny]

We came to a conclusion tha cereal IS soup?

I don't remember that! You're lying!

Yes! You ARE lying!

Ok, so cereal is not soup.

A-ha!

At least, that seems to be the case...yeah. We came to some kind of conclusion, it's just not all that clear what.

[Willkillforfood]

Milk is cows puss so does that count like meat
?

So let's get this straight ...milk is liquified cow vagina? I think not ...got visita farm sometime or watch t.v. :P.

[!King_Amazon!]

So let's get this straight ...milk is liquified cow vagina? I think not ...got visita farm sometime or watch t.v. :P.

Well either he was refering to the vagina of the cow or cow "puss" Puss is:

A generally viscous, yellowish-white fluid formed in infected tissue, consisting of white blood cells, cellular debris, and necrotic tissue.

But that isn't what milk is. And Milk doesn't come from the vagina of the cow either, it comes from the udder, which is equivalent to the breasts of the cow.

[Arkantis]

cow boobies! I know, just so everybody understands that I know cereal isnt soup.
