The cauldron in 1279-1280 is impractically large.

For cooking soup for the number of people present, by at least a factor of 10.
Like unless the MitD is showing up Belkar will be throwing out more than 90% of the soup.

[enq]

I pointed that out too (or rather, that Belkar was making way too much soup), but apparently there are ways (spells) to preserve the leftovers. In which case they can keep eating this five-star soup for a long time.

Also seems like the soup level sank a bit too much already though.

Adventurers only eat once a month, so they have to eat a lot...

Ever see Goku eat on Dragonball?

I sure hope someone got fired for that blunder.

Whenever something like that happens, a wizard ate it.

You people really just out there assuming my boy Franklin, the mimics and the rest of Serini's team don't get soup, huh?

Yes. That's why the pillow mimic is still angry. How is this not obvious?

I don't think it's unreasonable to think that the people who are not shown to be eating soup are not, in fact, eating soup.

Is it your position that what is not seen does not exist?

I have never seen an invisible bison, therefore I conclude there are none.

[InvisibleBison]

Is it your position that what is not seen does not exist?

Not at all. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. But that doesn't mean all explanations of a phenomenon are equally likely, or that a theory with no support cannot be criticized for its lack of support. It is possible that the various other characters known to be backstage got soup in between the panels of the last two comics and then left the area so they cannot be observed, but there's no reason to think that did in fact occur.

Yet, the same pot was the right size for a batch of amnesia poison for two paladins?

It's worth remembering that the full volume of a cooking cauldren isn't necessarly used for one thing - instead it was filled with water, boiled, and several things cooked in that water.

Thank you for that very educational link.

Just to be Properly Pedantic^TM, parsing your language and taking the double negative into account, you do think it's reasonable to think that the people not shown eating soup, did not, in fact, eat soup, and thus that only those shown eating soup, actually ate soup.

That's how your sentence reads, at any rate. Is that the idea you intended to communicate?

[Precure]

How come it's called eating soup instead of drinking soup in english? Never understand that.

[Peelee]

Soup, while liquid, is considered a food, not a beverage. You eat foods, you drink beverages.

This opens up a whole can of worms you don't want to see, but since you asked,

Somehow biscuits became cookies in the US while remaining biscuits everywhere else, then some elf put sugar and lard on one, topped it with another cookie, and got rich.

But it would be strange to eat pancakes or flapjacks or hotcakes or griddle cakes or whatever with your morning tea, so the English call them scones.

I think the Americans did it just to annoy King George. And we are not the only ones. Look what the Canadians did with bacon!

So, I will happily bake biscuits, fry bacon, and pour maple syrup on my pan cakes for breakfast, and get my cookies from a Hydrox bag.

[Peelee]

I, for one, try to annoy all kings.

I always treat the cook/bake line as whether it has a dough element. Not a perfect distinction but close enough.

EDIT: doy. I just noticed the pun.

[Ionathus]

Rank from “most annoyable” to “least annoyable”:
1. King Arthur
2. King K. Rool
3. Stephen King
4. King Kong
5. B. B. King
6. King Reginald
7. Burger King

Where does The King And I fall on that chart? I had to watch the television series, and let me tell you, there is a reason it isn't on Pluto TV.

That answer exactly one(1) of my questions! Thanks!
