is a cunt
Well I have just got home from a barmy unseasonably warm October day, & the mercury has really dropped, so what more therefore, than to fix myself up with a couple of slices of toast & a large bowl of Batchelor’s
Cup a Slop. I have chosen a sachet of cream of essparrow guts , mixed with broccoli & cauliflower, with a teaspoon full of Marmite & a dusting of cayenne pepper, & what do I find?
Croutons! Something I really hate, or cretins as I have aptly named them. The easiest ones to spit out are the ‘floaters.’ Some sink to the bottom, but the most annoying ones are the ‘semi submersible’ variety. They all look like & smell like rotten teeth & taste like stale toast, Who really loves them, & thinks they are the ‘perfect addition,’ & why are they still so popular in many of the powdered soup brands? Sorry Admin, but I am lost as to a link for this one. Maybe that Gross Lloyid Man can help?

I’d forgotten all about lobster bisque although I usually just buy the cans, the’ll do. I looked them up. £3.70 a tin at Sainbury’s. Fuck that. Aldi tomato it is then.

Yeah…I hadn’t had bisque for many years, but I was browsing for something to eat (wife away on girlie weekend) in Tesco and came across a Baxters tin of it…not cheap, true but very nice.
They do a really good Cullen Skink…try that. Like a Scottish Clam chowder. Over cook it, so it’s nice and thick with a chunk of heavily buttered decent bread on the side.

I’ve been meaning to try that for years. just never got round to it. On the list it goes.

I’ve just looked it up at Sainsbury’s as well. It’s even more fucking expensive.

Makes a change from Whiskers®, Moggs.

Whiskers rocks!

My suspicion is that they are likely French.
Disgraceful.
Good morning.

You can’t be too careful UT. You were ony right to be suspicious.
11
Yes Uncle Terry, it’s croūton if you are French.

Can’t stand 144man. Annoying yankie cunt. Tries to speak English.

They were giving away this twats soup at my local shop and I didn’t buy it on principal.

Croutons belong in French onion soup and nowhere else. The best are the large sort that are the size of a slice of baguette. Croutons in cream of tomato soup are entirely unnecessary, and should never, repeat never, be seen floating in Brown Windsor. Furthermore, croutons should be made of stale bread that has been pre-fried or roasted with garlic. These rules should be considered de riguer.
Good morning, everyone.

They`re French, what do you expect from a nation of frog torturers and snail munchers? Worse food than the Arabs` pickled sheep’s eyeballs, and that`s saying something. Danke schön!

AS@. Where the fuck have you been ?
Still in Paraguay ?
The Russkies are running riot in Ukraine.
Get it fucking sorted ⚡⚡💥💥🔥🔥
All the best to Eva and the kids 👍

Sie müssen mich mit jemand anderem verwechseln, Jack.

You are Thomas Tuchel and I claim my free Wembley Ticket for your first England Match and a Police Motorcycle Escort!

Could have swore I recognised you.
Maybe bleach your hair and lose the
‘tache.
It’ll save any unpleasantness 😃

I like the fuckers.

Cheese on toast, cut into cubes and thrown in a hearty chunky soup. Nom nom nom nom
7
I am somewhat torn on this nom. French onion soup must have cheese on toast in it. Fried bread served as an appetiser yes. lingering in cup of soups, NO. Morning all.

Croutons, being an invention of the French, smell like failure and taste like defeat.

I once knew a guy who was fired for calling his boss a cretin. Thinking on his feet he claimed to HR that he had actually called him a crouton as a term of endearment. They weren’t wearing it.
OT, but have you all picked up this one? The Norsemen are getting a grip on the muslims. Don’t see us emulating them though while 2TK is in charge;

Oh dear the sand roaches are not going to like that. Too bad, fuck off back where you came from.

You only have to look/listen to that one on goggle box to know how cousin marriages turn out….😱

👏👏👏 they are showing backbone

Aaah, but our politicians are bending over and showing their arses. Then talking out of them.

Lobster enjoy croutons especially just before they die.

Not a fan of croutons 🤮🤮🤮

Minestrone soup doesn’t indeed suck balls. That is all.

“Lobster bisque” is made from the shells, lobster flavoured slop would be an honest title. after all, what kind of insanity suggests taking a prime food source and churning it into soup ?
Steamed, butter, that’s it though brown crab has a far sweeter flavour.
I like homemade croutons but they taste better when you call them crunchy bits, crouton as a name is too effete and Froggish for my tastes.
3
Never had lobster bisque.
I prefer pea n ham
Cream of chicken
Lentil and bacon.
I’m not into croutons either.
Stale bread cubes?
Fuck off.
Sort of thing a Frenchman would slyly drop into a Englishmans soup.
5
Lentil and bacon, I make my own and it’s to die for!
I love making soup, it’s unbelievably satisfying. All that chopping with big, sharp knives!!
2
You like big choppers JP?

You ought to see me in action, with my big chopper, LL.
I put Gordon Ramsey to shame.

I like them but each to their own

Croutons are shit.
A nice bit of toast with my soup, That’ll do me.
3
Yes, two slices well buttered and cut into fingers ( like you would for a dippy egg).
Just dunk them! Croutons, I spit on them.

Croutons are harvested from those weird things on Morgan Freeman’s face .
Sammy said they’re black mans freckles?
Which medically are known as friggers

Mmm lovely thick warm nourishing soup on a rainy day ❤️
“Do you want some stale bread in it?”
No.
No I don’t.
I’m not some fuckin duck.
Croutons are for EU types.
Ps
Morrisons do a salt and pepper crusty loaf,
It’s mega.
It’s my favourite bread.
I butter it and have red salmon on it.
Gorgeous 😍

That shit is not soup, it’s a bag of industrial waste just waiting for water to be added.
There’s probably more nutritional value in the store receipt.
That applies to most ‘instant’ slop.
Make your own from good ingredients, it’s not exactly a demanding task, especially if you have a slow cooker.
Same with croutons. If you make your own (easy) and drop ’em on top at the last minute they are not that bad. Good way to use up stale bread too.

Soup is for cunts, I have it at least once a week.
