If you like cream soups you don't get to make gross faces when somebody starts drinking ketchup directly out of the bottle.

You can't just heat up a sauce and tell people that's the whole meal. That should be against the rules.

I promise you my potato soup is not a sauce.

It's a cream soup and it's essentially weird mashed potato when cold.

You're characterizing a whole spectrum with one terrible example.

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

And you just told me you're drinking mashed potatoes.

I think one of us has chosen a terrible example, but it's not me.

If you actually experience potato soup as drinking mashed potatoes, even somewhat, you have some sort of miss-wiring in your brain for preprocessing senses.

I don't put potato soup in my mouth at all because I respect potatoes too much, so my experience of potato soup is as little as possible.

It's the other guy who tried to somehow make his potato soup sound appealing by calling it "weird mashed potato when cold", which may be the worst possible combination of words in the English language and several others.

Yeah I have read the other comments you make, you are a troll, if not you really, really, do have sensory issues, maybe not diagnosed. If you see no difference between ketchup and marinara, etc., your body isn't doing something correctly.

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 1 points 4 days ago

My body does very little correctly. We've talked about it and it's unfortunately not willing to change this.

Not a troll, though. I may be a bit facetious, but I'm definitely not lying to get a rise out of people here.

Nothing false about it. You figure out the difference between marinara, gazpacho and a bloody mary and then report back on the falsehood.

I don't put cream soups in my mouth, but I have family members who do, and I have reused pumpkin and carrot creams as pasta sauces with no modifications multiple times. I can defend this with a perfectly straight face and I can spell the name of the fallacy I'm not using.

Marinara is a sauce made primarily with tomatoes, cooked down to the desired thickness. Usually dark, well cooked and rich. Gazpacho is a chilled soup made with raw vegetables, blended together. Tomato is usually used as a base but it's not always the main ingredient. You can make lots of different gazpachos. A bloody Mary is a cocktail made with straight tomato juice, no cooking or blending involved. You would not toss your pasta in this, unless you were an alcoholic that liked to eat disgusting pasta.

What? I've never heard anything like that before. That is... so weird. But I guess if that's a rule, thanks.
