I was thinking exactly the same thing, why pick on potato soup. Surely there are enough problems in the world right now without discriminating against potato soup! I will continue to support potato soup irrespective of this Covid thing.
Russian borscht or shi soup is cracking! We make a lot of borscht and there's no finer hearty soup. I've been to Russia etc many times and never had potato soup
The Welsh circuit breaker isnt the same as day one though. Builders merchants are open, coffee shops with takeaways are trading, pubs are doing takeaway meals. Very different. Our glorious 1st minister even said the effect wouldn’t be immediate and huge, but would hopefully make a impact further down the line. Meanwhile redundancies galore in industry, 2000+ locally at Airbus plus more at affiliated businesses in the supply chain, a Nightingale hospital that hasn’t seen 1 patient, a holiday industry in meltdown, Drs refusing to see patients at the surgery. I really hope for all our sakes this isn’t the model moving forward, we will be in the Stone Age if we have these lockdowns every few months. the scariest thing is there’s no debate , a course of action has been chosen and stuck to no matter what. If you dissent then you‘re ridiculed , banned from social media etc. This is affecting us all immensely so where is the tv debate with both sides laying out the facts as they see them. I’m afraid the longer it goes on the more I agree with Ben.
Maybe next time, I’m sure borscht is fine, but all I was saying is that it was not fair to pick on potato soup. Maybe all the spuds are reserved for brewing in Russia.
I do remember living at my girlfriends house, early 80’s. No heating, her mum bought a hock and added water, veggies and Saturday night, in the gas oven , 120 . Sunday morning, the only warm room in the house was the kitchen. Hot warm broth. Does it get better?
Still, let’s see what it’s like in a months time, England are now doing the same thing as you well know. Not doing it for fun.
Reminds me of my grandmothers...we were proper poor back then, but there was always a big pan of something on the stove, always got fed....
Yes I’m aware that England are about to do the same, I’ve seen the news. My point was it’s different from 1st time around and I don’t expect significant moves as even the policy makers aren’t expecting to shift the dial by any large margin.
Corned Beef hash. Surely.
It’s supposed to be a reminder about how things were used to be. I never said it was better. And don’t be a ****. I’m on your side.
To be fair, it's not actually socialism that stinks. It's all the cabbage needed to underpin its economy....
Back between 1845 and 1849 a million Irish died because of the potato soup famine.
