I’ve got it in my mind that Campbells marketed a vegetarian vegetable soup probably when the first big wave of vegetarianism came through (think Diet for a Small Planet).

I thought it was more for Seventh Day Adventists and Catholics who didn't eat meat on Friday.

It's almost never bad to feed someone.

I certainly remember this (Campbell's Vegetarian Vegetable Soup).    I always thought it was to differentiate it from their Vegetable Beef Soup.   I'm sure it was around in the '50s.

I went out this evening to buy something and passed by the trash disposal area of my apartment building. People, including me usually leave boxes and cardboard to one side for recycling. I spotted this, which immediately reminded me of this topic.

Sadly, I have no idea what was in it. There is nothing there to indicate the contents. But I was amused, so ...

This  reminds of an unrelated anecdote from about 40 years ago. I had occasion to send a fax to an Indian colleague (in India - I was in London). I asked a new secretary to send it to Mr Anil Gupta and gave her the number. Somehow she managed to render that into Anal Tiptoe. She took my message, put it into an envelope, wrote "For the attention of Mr. Anal Tiptoe" on the envelope and faxed the envelope! Fortunately Mr. Gupta had a good sense of humour. The secretary didn't last the week!

What is wrong with these people? I don't want potatoes made of plants; I want regular normal potatoes, not fakes! Sad fools!

 

Here below is a primer on real potatoes.

From the September 2 New Yorker, my kind of humor:

"There is no sincerer love than the love of food."  -George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, Act 1

 

"Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged."  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

A king can stand people's fighting, but he can't last long if people start thinking. -Will Rogers, humorist
