Cold Potato Soup Ping!......................

[ProtectOurFreedom]

It’s 12 degrees this morning. Cold soup sound great!

What idiot put this special day in NOVEMBER? I guess all of June is out because of queer people.

“vish – e – swaz”

SWAZ?? Where did that “z” come from?

[Red Badger]

Generation Z...................

[Red Badger]

Gazpacho....................

[ProtectOurFreedom]

I just tried “gazpacho” with a silent “z.”

Sounds like a gay Mexican cowboy.

There was an episode of All In The Family where Edith invites a swinger couple, not knowing they were swingers, to dinner, and the husband makes vichyssoise. Archie takes a spoonful, blows on it so it won't be too hot, and then exclaims that the soup is cold. Swinger husband says, "It's vichyssoise, it's supposed to be cold!"

[Rio]

same thing?

What day of the week do you think the national Celebrate Nancy Pelosi Incarceration Day will be?

I know there's a slim chance of it happening.

Doesn't mean we can't throw it in her face.

[BenLurkin]

Pronounced by Popeye apparently.

“Bon-jure Madem-zwollie”

[SunkenCiv]

You didn't hear it from me, but stick to the consommé.

[Red Badger]

Waiter, waiter, there’s a fly in my consommé!

Ssh, don’t speak so loud. The other guests will want one too!

[Red Badger]

Q. What is the origin of the ‘Waiter, there’s a fly in my soup’ joke?

A: A NUMBER of ‘Waiter ...’ jokes are attributed to the notoriously rude waiters at Lindy’s Restaurant in New York, whose replies include: ‘It’s possible. The chef used to be a tailor’ and ‘Don’t worry. How much soup can a fly drink?’ Lindy’s was started in August 1921 by Leo Lindemann and was as famous for the backchat of its waiters as for its clientele of comics, gangsters, show-biz stars and other celebrities. Among examples of repartee recorded on their menu (always entailing criticism of the customer and/or the food) are some which have gone on to become almost traditional: ‘Waiter, do you serve shrimps here?’ Lindy’s waiter: ‘Sure. We don’t care how tall you are. Sit down.’ and ‘Waiter, this coffee tastes like tea.’ Lindy’s waiter: ‘Forgive me, sir. I must have given you the hot chocolate by mistake.’

“What’s this fly doing in my soup?”

“Looks like the backstroke.”

[Red Badger]

Waiter, there’s fly in my soup!

In that case, we’ll have to charge you extra for the full meal...............

[Red Badger]

“What’s this fly doing in my soup?”

“His name is Jesus, and he’s taking a stroll.”.................

[Larry Lucido]

Does a Vichyssoise fly surrender after one bite?

[Red Badger]

[Captain Rhino]

Vichyssoise. Meh.

Now if there is a National Bouillabaisse Day, I’d be interested.

Gourmet Restaurant - Ray Stevens

Well I went to the Chez Paris
The food was good there I’d been told
They said I should try some of that there Vichyssoise
But when they brought it, it was cold
I said, “Don’t you just have some tomater soup?”
And he said, “The gazpacho is awfully nice”
I said, “Well bring me a big bowl of that.”
And he did and dad blame if it wasn’t cold as ice!

Oh you can have those high priced gourmet restaurants
Yeah the waiters act snooty and walk kind of fruity and they won’t bring you what you want!
Well, I like greens, and cornbread and beans, and a big ol’ glass of iced tea
I tell ya friends, those gourmet restaurants ain’t for me!
