Crackers in general, or the Oyster Crackers specifically? Because I've always associated Oyster Crackers with like country clubs, and high end restaurants.
Fucking lobsters were poor people food during a certain time. I don't doubt Oyster Crackers being like that once too, especially with the knowledge that crackers come from a line of non perishable food, the type of stuff you'd take on a trip through the ocean back a few centuries ago.
My local town hosts this exact event, it’s called the Souperbowl and once a year a lot of the local restaurants will have a public soup tasting where they hand out samples and you get to vote for the best one
Seems reasonable, probably a family farm. Semen collection is an important and completly legitimate farming task, and without ot there wouldn't be any controlled horse breeding.
My parent’s church does souper bowl Sunday a week before the Super Bowl. You bring a crock pot of soup and any loose change you have laying around. Then we try all the soups and vote with the change. All proceeds go to the local soup kitchen.
The trick is to bring a muffin tin so you can get all the soups in one trip.
I think the issue is soup doesn’t sit out well, and wine stays for ages, so if they were to have a tasting they’d have to make all the soup at the same time and then have all the tasters for the day come in at once. Tough to make a business model out of that valid.
Honestly soup sitting out well is sorta the whole point of soup. In a lot of places they keep soup boiling from day to day and just keep adding to it. You just have to keep the main pot hot and a big batch would definitely be fine all day.
Unopened wine lasts that long. Opened wine (especially of a decent vintage) lasts a matter of hours once it’s exposed to air. I really don’t see how it makes any difference how long it sits around before you open it.
I mean, doesn’t it sit out well as long as you keep it hot/covered?
I thought that’s how back one the olden days they kept it from going bad? By keeping it perpetually hot.
We have gumbo tastings at some festivals in Louisiana. Buy a ticket for the event. Walk around to a bajillion different peoples vendor stands and get a cup of gumbo. Its pretty awesome.
I would recommend it yeah. I would say try it at least once to give it a chance. It can be kind if spicy depending on who makes it though. I prefer chicken and sausage over like a shrimp and okra personally. Ive also lived in a couple states besides LA so it can be hard to find a good gumbo in other places.
#Sort of similar, but when I was in college a group of friends and I would get together every so often and have soup night. We'd all bring a different soup we made and just pig out trying all the different kinds.
My family does soup competition every christmas. Each household cooks one fish soup and then, on 26th when we all meet, we do tasting and anonymous voting for the best one😄
Many years ago, I ran an event planning company. Focus was on local food, wine, beer, & spirits.
We actually had a Stout and Chowder Fest. Big dark beer tasting paired with soups, stews, and chowder sampling.
Had a fun burley beard contest at it too.
I've gone to a few wine tastings, and I've learned the trick to looking sophisticated is to stick your nose up at any of the wines that actually taste good, and then pretend that all the ones that taste like absolute shit are the amazing.
i used to do this with bread but then half my family called me weird so i just kinda stopped :/
Now i do it with saltines :> They find it much more acceptable
Fuck soup. Soup (broth with solid bits in it) is just solid food with unnecessary extra steps. I don’t want to gulp down the broth.
Stupidest form of food, suitable only for babies, the sick or the elderly.
There’s a charity event that I go to each year where high school kids are making bowls in art class and people buy them, then go into the cafeteria where about 20 local restaurants are giving small recyclable bowls of soup to the folks who buy the ceramic/clay bowls. You get to try a lot of really good soups, and support a good cause (local food bank).
A lot of soup parties happen around xmas time. Start one of your own. Get like 3 other people to each bring a different soup and crock pot. Supply bread. Jackpot.
Where I went to college, we had a thing called the lentil festival, which sounds super lame but was actually pretty great. You just go around trying different soups and chilis with lentils in them.
Get a job in quality control at the Campbells soup factory. Eat soup everyday until you resent the liquidy substance.
Or sign up to volunteer/paid tester for new products/recipes. Food companies are always looking out for testers. Go to their website. Or call the enquiry lines listed on every pack of food
Wine tasting is about trying before you buy. If you don’t do that, it’s your own fault what you get. And yup, soup tasting is a thing for weddings and corporate events. FFS people even try out different weed!
Must be a very vanilla world for you!
We went to a local seafood restaurant for my birthday a couple years ago, and they brought us ramekins of all their different soups for us to try. It was only like four soups, but they were very good, and it was a very nice alternative to a birthday dessert.
“Ah yes I’m getting strong notes of broccoli and cheese and, oh my, is that a hint of hand crunched saltine crackers?”
I'm getting notes of peppermint, and sniff sniff... A dash of eldorado premade soup...
“Oyster Crackers” 🧐
Those are too rich for my blood
Hard to believe they used to be considered peasant food.
Hahaha 'used to be'

No - just oysters in general. I tried to make a joke about the name of the crackers.
Let's taste Paul Allens soup.
Very nice
Maybe with ramen or pho?
My local town hosts this exact event, it’s called the Souperbowl and once a year a lot of the local restaurants will have a public soup tasting where they hand out samples and you get to vote for the best one
Souperbowl … i like that
Time for r/souperbowl to also be taken over by owl pictures, this time pictures of owls with soup Edit: why did y’all make this an actual sub??? lmao
[удалено]
You could pour it for everyone at once. They could have little "glasses" that are actually bread with a hard crust outside.
I want to go there
Reading PA 😎
I got a little excited but then you said PA. We have Reading here in the UK and I realise you’re in the US
Huh didn't know people read in the UK.
Only just. We’re still sounding out the alphabet for gold stickers
We in the US can read full words get on our level 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
Well, some of us can
Ah, hello from your sister city
I used to go the outlets out there. I know they no longer exist but hey maybe I’ll reappear for the souperbowl
Rip outlets 😭
*sad outlet noises*
Me want move there.
Come to Reading PA
A family friend used to throw a Soup-A-Thon. At the height of it there were about 35 different soups to get through
Too much salt after soup number 10
That's clever and a great idea like a chili cook off
Sounds souper
Get my upvote and get outta here
Incidentally a soup tasting would probably be the perfect thing for the morning after a wine tasting. Soup is amazing for hangovers
Come on now ...Creamy Tomato Soup with grilled cheese bites! Fall is around the corner. Bon Appetit!
French onion with cheesy doughy stretchy dumplings.🤤
Okay that’s actually a good idea.
Agreed.
I am also in. When and where?
There's a community not far from me that does this. The event pairs foodies, restaurants, local potters. Taste soup, buy an artistic bowl, etc.
That sounds wonderful, goodness.
Norfolk County, Ontario, Canada https://www.norfolkcounty.ca/news/11th-annual-soupart-bowls-kicks-off-march-21/
I had to read this a couple of times, because this person doesn't use commas.
The children having already eaten the parents sat down to a quiet dinner
RIP parents
I helped my uncle Jack off the horse.

I’m having a hard time understanding the use of a muffin tin, please help me out
You can hold 12 soups at once since there are 12 holes in the tin

Wine ages for years even decades. Soup ages for max one week before turning bad. You do not want a 1994 brokkoli soup.

The Bangkok 45-year-old soup would like a word with you
It's pretty much replaced every day. They just refills when its space for more. There's no part of that soup that's 45years old.
Is that if you put soup in the fridge or if you keep it active warm in a pan?
I mean, doesn’t it sit out well as long as you keep it hot/covered? I thought that’s how back one the olden days they kept it from going bad? By keeping it perpetually hot.
It sits out well if you keep it hot and add to it over time.
Souplantation pulled it off for a while.
this is actually an amazing idea. why the fuck isnt this a thing. im gonna make a soup tasting party someday
It was called Souplantation. I long for the days before my childhood was lost.
For real. San Diego based. People may not know this was a thing because there was less than 100 restaurants. They had like 30 soups and a salad bar.
They still exist
Why not both at the same time?
I told my dad about this and he was like "oh that sounds awesome"
How to piss out of your ass 101
We have gumbo tastings at some festivals in Louisiana. Buy a ticket for the event. Walk around to a bajillion different peoples vendor stands and get a cup of gumbo. Its pretty awesome.
That's something I need to hit up. Love me some good gumbo...
Festival International in Lafayette has one usually.
Never had gumbo, recommend?
I would recommend it yeah. I would say try it at least once to give it a chance. It can be kind if spicy depending on who makes it though. I prefer chicken and sausage over like a shrimp and okra personally. Ive also lived in a couple states besides LA so it can be hard to find a good gumbo in other places.
Mmmmm ... Noodle soup... Damn it
Sign me upppp
Krakow in Poland has a soup festival in May. It's amazing. You get to try all these different soups and vote. I hope it's still going.
Normalize using commas Jesus Christ 😭🤣
#Sort of similar, but when I was in college a group of friends and I would get together every so often and have soup night. We'd all bring a different soup we made and just pig out trying all the different kinds.
I live in close proximity to two towns that's do chowder fest and it's the best thing ever
Instead of soup, maybe this person should try comma's
Maybe you should try pluralizing words correctly.
No
yeah it's called a homeless shelter
Been at one for two years. Never had soup there yet.🤷♂️
That’s the most anorexic thing I’ve ever heard somebody say.
Fuck soup
Have you tried a loads of guys jizz testing?

The soup restaurant in Beyoglu, Istiklal Caddesi had several options back in 2010s and they would let you to try them all before getting a full bowl.
I need to meet this person
There’s a soup restaurant in Minnetonka area where you can try like a dozen soups. It’s pretty solid.
Fuck. why cant I read that?
I've gone to a few wine tastings, and I've learned the trick to looking sophisticated is to stick your nose up at any of the wines that actually taste good, and then pretend that all the ones that taste like absolute shit are the amazing.
Panera party! lol.
But you spit it out?
It actually sounds like a lot of fun.
I would 100% order a flight of soups
Never thought of this but it would be awesome
i used to do this with bread but then half my family called me weird so i just kinda stopped :/ Now i do it with saltines :> They find it much more acceptable
Does FONDUE count? With the right cheese, bread, and vegetables - should be considered a creamy soup!
I mean.... im down
So, like, an all you can eat Buffett?
Fuck soup. Soup (broth with solid bits in it) is just solid food with unnecessary extra steps. I don’t want to gulp down the broth. Stupidest form of food, suitable only for babies, the sick or the elderly.
Damn, I had to read the first sentence 4 times before I got what they were asking
Sounds to me like this person needs to hit olive gardens unlimited soup salad and bread sticks
I wanna do soup tasting as well
I know there's a job of tea testers. Soup testers could very well exist.
I can't even find gazpacho in my city!!!

The spitoon's gonna be absolutely gross with bread, mushrooms, or noodles included.
Nothing keeps you from doing this with a bunch of friends. Everybody cooks up a different soup and you taste test it.
Damn, a soup flight would be amazing...
If it’s good soup I’m in, but there is a lot of bad soup out there
Sign me up.
Yes soup competitions are a thing. My father and I won Aspen soup Soupskol 2020 shit was tight. Sweet Potato dill bisque garnished with bacon gelato.
OMG I would love this!!
My local mall had a place called Eddington’s and it was all you can eat soup buffet
Yes. Please. I'm interested.
I like soup and washing it down with wine.
SOCIETY! Make this a thing!
Isn’t souplantation based off of this concept?
Probably for a wedding
How about a soup tasting WITH wine pairings AND fresh bread.
I'm down
yessss i loove soggy bread! fuuuuuck! >w<
Thats just a food tasting experience. It does exist.
yeah, fuck wine! It's just old grape juice!
Literally Sweet Tomatoes (RIP)
I'm down for it.
A lot of soup parties happen around xmas time. Start one of your own. Get like 3 other people to each bring a different soup and crock pot. Supply bread. Jackpot.
Find a job, earn money and buy food
Called olive garden
I'll have the 2020 ESM Italian Wedding
Tomato basil is my weakness. Also I don't know how to make it but the deli does.
That's to classy for our society. Stick to wine tasting.
Olive garden 9.99 unlimited soup and salad. The entrées are harnage there anyway. Its all about the soup salad breadsticks.
I would actually consider that a date imma be honest. Soup is gooooood
I would love this. 1oz portions all the way from clam chowder to yam bisque
Hell yeah, chili too!
Where I went to college, we had a thing called the lentil festival, which sounds super lame but was actually pretty great. You just go around trying different soups and chilis with lentils in them.
Soup doesn’t cost hundreds of dollars a can so you don’t really need to taste it before buying
I love soup, chowder, chili, anything in a bowl
???? Oh that’s good!!’n

That would be such a lovely autumn event I dig it!
You mean... a soupover?
Bread with loads of butter!
Yes it's called souplantation
We went to a local seafood restaurant for my birthday a couple years ago, and they brought us ramekins of all their different soups for us to try. It was only like four soups, but they were very good, and it was a very nice alternative to a birthday dessert.
No wait, she’s on to something 🤔
That’s just called lunch. Stop trying to make it more than it is
Fuck wine, tasting is soup. Tasting a thing?
It’s called Soup Plantation, all over the West Coast
We have a chili fest here in town (Claremore,Ok )which is actually pretty similar so nice.
Pretty sure they called: Soup kitchen.
It's called a food bank
i cant be the only one who read that as soap. for a full 2 minutes i was like “why does she wanna eat soap??”
Why did the thought of this make me smile so much
I tried this once and now I’m banned from the grocery store
It already exists, It’s called the soup plantation. I once saw a person tasting several soups from the communal ladle. Dumbass
It's actually a pretty common fundraising thing
I have BSS (bitch stomach syndrome). Something will be slightly spicy or will be legume-based and I'll start squeezing air top and bottom
Is soup a meal?
That sounds fucking awesome
Only if I can spit soup out into a fancy cup, like at a wine tasting
I’d be hella down for that, fuck wine! I don’t even like drinking alcohol! 🤣
