Texture excellent

There was no soup (at least that i could find) in town at the bank holiday, so i couldn't blog anything. Did go to "Red Hot" the all you can eat buffet, which was (as always) amazing. I did consider blogging that but alas, i found no soup and taking pictures in public with children nearby is bound to produce some frowns, so i didn't.

I think that four days away from the CB is enough time to rebuild the taste buds and replenish the wonder.

The CB today is good, if a little cold. Texture excellent.

This meaty liquid

Steps must have been taken to soup up the quality of this meaty liquid today, although there is a slightly gritty undertone to it though...

• Is this due to yesterdays scathing review, who knows?
• Do they even know I or this blog exists, who knows?
• Does anybody care? I can't answer that one, but it's not important to me either way.

I'm not back reviewing the CBS until next wednesday, but i intend to find, review and blog some guest liquid nourishment the matthew street festival.

Although not as thick as the McCoys crisps, the galvanised nature of these crinkle cut potato chips does hold soup well and due to the increased surface area of this particulat design of wavy potato, you get more soup per dip. Below is a photo to illustrate my point.



And it's a big bag which'll probably keep me going for the remainder of the day, with stinky fake onion breath. Chewing gum time me thinks...

From dust

Ummmm, trying to identify food tastes and quantify then into english language is a tricky task, doing it daily kinda helps because i think (hope) that I'm getting better and more descriptive.

I can't seem to think of any other way to describe the main taste of this soup today except 'dusty'. It's not good that it tastes like dust either. I mean it tastes old, not fresh, musty.
I think it could be the meat but something is wrong in the spolies soup world.

They just about taste like Rogan Josh, but you have to concentrate really hard...

Rich and fulfilling

The steep assention to the quality of Fridays soup has begun, soup consistence is better, taste is starting to become rich and fulfilling and that slightly peppery/spicy heat is tentively making an appearance.
And, i got a nice full fresh scoop. Happy days... :)

The relatively 'clean' ingredients list compared with yesterdays chemical concoction. Strange coming from American, eh? I expected a ton of pollution to gush out when i opened the packet.

Seventy one percent

The results of the variation poll are in and a almost overwelming 71% have voted for more variety of crisps. Hoorar!

Which is why today I'm risking the dreaded 'Crispy Bacon' flavour (Any need to stipulate whether it's crispy or not? Supose it'd be better than 'boiled bacon' flavour.) Just been checking the ingredients to see what it is that does not agree with me in Bacon flavoured crisps, erm, yeah. Potassium Chroride. I'm sure that there is a reason for the use of this stuff, but a quick search on the internet brought me the following result:

"Toxic agent (not used by all states) - Potassium chloride is given at a lethal dose in order to interrupt the electrical signaling essential to heart functions. This induces cardiac arrest. " - Taken from http://www.howstuffworks.com/lethal-injection4.htm

Now, I understand that there are food safety hygene standards, and this obviously can't bee too bad for you/I in small doses, but still...
Compared with the extremely limited ingredients that where on my American crisps from yesterday, which where simply 'Potatoes, Vegetable Oil and salt'.

The taste of the soup kinda passed me by today, last sip did give me an ever so slight twinge of spice, but then it's gone.

A work colleague returned from honeymoon in Florida and he brought me back some crisps, he knows me well.

Considering that i normally have super flavoury 'potato chips' (as they call them across the water), Classic (ready salted to you English readers) seems a little standard, but this simply gives the CB a chance to shine and not have to compete with the other full on flavours, giving me a truer reflection of the taste. That said, it's probably not a repeat perscription.

Soup is ok today, just standard really. Quite tomatoey...

How these crisps survived a trip across the atlantic ocean, in a pressurised aeroplane I don't know. I once attempted to cart several large bags of crisps to Egypt, they where open and smashed to pieces when i unpacked. Although i later considered that it might have been one of the baggage handlers kicking it, as it was a bag with a liverpool address, with a LFC lable on it, travelling from Manchester...

Is that a little it of spice?

I wonder whats in this soup? I mean, apart from the beef the name is just misleading. As i mentioned earlier inthe week, i've only ever found one chilli seed in it. It's kinda hot, but more peppery than chilli i'd say. Then again, i like chillies, so it might be very hot and i just can't tell.

I was going to go down the route of trying to figure out what's in it, but i think that path will lead me to a place where disapointment lives. Ignorance is bliss, as Cypher from the Matrix once said.
