25 minutes ago, sartoric said:@huiray, agree absolutely that soup at every meal is a part of many SE Asian countries food regime.
In Myanmar it's common to share the spoon amongst friends too !
Yes.
I also often wonder about the expectation that soup, in the Western tradition, HAS to follow the FRENCH model. IMO, illustrative of the ethnocentric bias that some folks have about what constitutes "food". Of course, one talks about what one grew up with - so this is not a blanket statement about the proclivities of folks here or elsewhere.
