    49erFaithful - I like the way the Soup Nazi dipped the spoon AWAY from him. Is this to indicate his aberrant psychology?

    Thanks Gibber. I can't purport to understand the psychology of the Soup Nazi. But in my mind's eye, when putting spoon to soup, a Soup Nazi would always dip away, never towards.

    I dip the spoon away from me when I drink soup.

    What about when you prepare a soup sandwich? Do you spread back and forth or up and down. I pray it's not all around like the anarchists do.

    Sorry, didn't mean to offend any soup dip-away-ers. I've given it some thought and I believe those that dip towards have an unconscious need to expose the bottom of their spoon to others, while those that dip away have a deep seated fear of exposing the bottom of their spoon to others. Of course this is a gross oversimplification of the complex motivations and ambivalent emotions involved with spoon dipping.

    Sometimes when I'm alone I hold the spoon level and lower it in so the soup rushes in from all sides.

    The proper way to eat soup: http://www.thekitchn.com/table-manners-the-proper-way-to-eat-soup-178927 Apparently, however, soup-eating rules are culture-bound.

    http://foldingstory.com/4zgr3/ I can't stop writing about soup.

    Sometimes my cat only dips the back of her spoon into the soup and licks it from there.

  11. Servant Nov 06 2014 @ 21:34

    Sometimes, when I'm alone or with people who don't mind, I will lick my bowl clean.

    Sometimes, when I'm alone with my cat, I'll lick the back of my bowl, but only if my soup doesn't mind.
