Bean soups always seem to include ham.

Lentil soups always seem to include sausage.

I wonder why

Fascinating

Because here it's like

Bean is always in stews and such, but not soups

And if you make a lentil soup, there's like a law or something that tells you to flavor it with curry spices... Doesn't matter what kind of curry, but it has to be curry flavored, otherwise it is not a lentil soup.

@miiamustang I would never put beans in a stew. Anything of that sort that has beans would, to me, be either bean soup or chili.

To me, stew only has meat and vegetables

[mle_online@social.afront.org]

@miiamustang Also, I wouldn't object to lentil soup having curry spices in it, but that's not at all how I would make lentil soup.

I would add salt, pepper, garlic, and maybe cumin. That's really it

Your comment is somewhat funny.

You mention `curry spices´ ... Do you realise that both garlic and cumin - and basically any spice you can think of - are curry spices?

"Curry powder is any of several spice mixes for curry, adapted from but not to be confused with garam masala in Indian cuisine."

Remember the parachute.

[mle_online@social.afront.org]

@BlameDutchie @miiamustang Yes, I realize that, but if any spice is curry spice, then there's no such thing as curry spice, and this is a moot conversation.

I have no idea what the parachute is

[blamedutchie@expressional.social]

@MLE_online @miiamustang So... You engage in a conversation and when you get a reply to what you say, you call the conversation moot...

Then why engage in the first place?

The parachute: the mind is like a parachute—it functions only when it is open.

Have a nice day.
