Bad soup

I'm sure you've heard of finger foods. Ever come across finger bowl foods? Let me rewind a bit here..

Since B has a 'thing' for Ching's Chinese soup kits at Patel's, we've pretty much tried them all. Except for this one little packet for Lemon Corriander soup that has been languishing at the back of the closet for a while now. I retrieved it this evening when I really wanted to eat something, but didn't want to go through the motions of chopping or frying or anything else that involved me standing in the kitchen for more than 2 minutes.

Soup done. At this point, I must mention that I found the smell a bit fishy. But, in all fairness, I wanted to give this soup a chance.

The minute I brought that first spoon to my mouth though, it hit me. This was nothing other than a bunch of all the finger bowls from all restaurants condensed (dehydrated maybe?), smothered with some preservatives and thrown into a fancy pack. Shiny enough for people like me to pick up off the shelf.

Seriously Ching's, I'd rather drink my own finger bowl leftovers than other peoples'. Give this one a miss.
