huh well I'll be
I don't even know what soup is or isn't nothing makes sense anymore
I mostly agree, but counterpoint: miso soup is called soup but it's just made out of a fermented-soy paste; there's no stock involved.
The soy paste is still the result of a cooking process. It's not just soybeans in water.
If the cereal is left sitting long enough for stuff to diffuse in the milk and noticeably alter its flavor, then it is soup.
Is an aspic a soup then? It has collagen-rich broth in it, it's just cold and jiggly.
It's a dumpling. Or a raviolo if we're being :anti-italian-action: about it
"Good morning, what would you like for breakfast?"
"I'd like some soup, please."
How likely is it that you'd get cereal? Language is for communicating. If calling thing a different thing makes it harder to actually communicate, then it's not that thing.
in my household 100% likely they know its cereal you need to make better friends
No, because the word soup doesn't refer to cereal.
Tell someone you need milk or cheerios for your soup, they won't understand that you're talking about cereal.
Can dry cereal be considered a bread, and if yes, can cereal with milk be considered a milk-sandwich bowl?
English being the clusterfuck it is, the answer is entirely subjective given the range of definitions between dictionaries (even if we narrow it down to the big ones).
We'll have to test by setting up hundreds of cereal bowls, pouring different liquids on them, and tasting to see which are soupy
yes, will not be looking at all the wrong answers in the comments
