And that’s cleaner? :eek: 
Ladle, ladle, ladle, I made you out of clay…
Didn’t read all the posts and now I see I was scooped!

Say, what’s the difference between roast beef and pea soup?
Well, anyone can roast beef…
:rolleyes: Grooooan!

You know you took a few slurps from the ladel, just to sample the product.
Don’t deny it, 'cause we all do it every now and again.
No, you’re thinking about Mr. Hanky.
Featherlou, I don’t know what the joke is about picking on Autolycus. Is this from another thread, perhaps?

Link PMed. Moving on :o
As if they actually got a new tureen!
If this is a regular nutcase, they probably just carried it into the kitchen, counted to ten, and carried the same soup right back out again, saying: “Oo, brand new, fresh, never-been-out-of-the-kitchen soup!”
Next time you see the nutbar, tell her that you’ve seen the kitchen staff polish the silverware by licking it.
Is this the same place as the one that serves vagina risotto? 'Cause then I might understand why she was upset. I mean, someone ends up with fishy-smelling risotto, and the next thing you know, they’re serving soup with [del]pee[/del]peas in it!
Well the person who had a cold and was serving food, all I can say is that in the UK that would be a breach of the food safety laws.
Mind you, the enforcement of those laws for staff illness is very difficult and there isn’t much chance of being caught out unless you happen to get a random inspection from the local environmental health officers.
Beautiful soup, so rich and green,
Waiting in a hot tureen –
Who for such dainties would not stoop?
Soup of the evening, beautiful soup!
That is the end. We must move on.
Okay, seriously. The only thing that puzzles me is how the OP and his friend managed to pass by the soup tureen twice in front of the same customer. This suggests a fascination with soup that bears watching. And, trust me, we will be watching most attentively. And, possibly, waiting most patiently. And quietly. And unobtrusively. As the OP walks by, unsuspectingly. Not that there’s anything to suspect. Oh, no, Heaven forbid such.
Meanwhile, for all you potential witnesses, read what I said. It’s over, it’s time to move along and not think about it any more, except for the OP and his/her friend, who shouldn’t be thought about any more either.
Move along now. Everything will be taken care of. Go home now and have some hot soup.
Who do you think you… oh.
Who’s supposed to be crazy in this story? Split pea soup is delicious. I made some for dinner tonight. The secret is a rather large quantity of sherry.
I had the best soup I’ve ever had a little while ago - potato/dill cream soup (I think it had bacon too - my version will have bacon or ham). It was heaven in a bowl. I have got to learn how to make this.
In you or in the soup?
"Old green soup in a new clean tureen
A new clean tureen
A new clean tureen
Old green soup in a new clean tureen
A new clean tureen
A new clean tureen"
I… I don’t remember! We’re talking about the sherry, not the ladle, right?
