That's no asian lesbian porn, you liar.
I think Stew just has bigger bits of stuff in it :dabs:
stew is all about the lumps. like you have stew on a plate, them mop the last bit up with bread. with soup you use bread first then drink teh soup when it's cool enough to not need blowing on.
so scientaficallly
if you use bread then cutlery it's soup
if you use cutlery then bread it's stew
Noice etiquette :schnauz:
You britons might well have buggered up the original meaning of the word, a century or two ago.
We've got a word here that's very similar to the word "stew", and when it is used it means that the dish has been boiled/cooked with milk.
Water base- soup.
Milk base- ~stew.
All is revealed but I must say daves explanation is brilliant :lol:
Feck, the things I've learned here.Quote:

Boil slowly or simmer for stew, just boil for soup, maybe :unsure:
Simply put:
Stew = big chunks of stuff cooked slowly over a long period "stewed"
Soup = Quickly prepared,mainly pureed stuff,short cooking time
The soup in my primary school was more like stew, it was mostly potatoes and lentils and about one sixth of it was liquid. :dabs: Stupid fucking primary school bitchass cock suckers.
But I like the "stewed" vs. "quickly prepared" explanation.
you're welcome btw
Scottish soup, the ladle should stand upright in the pot.Quote:

You could argue that what you had was a vegetable stew. However that is unlikely, as the tatties were probably added later in the cooking process to stop them breaking up.
Your observation is a good one, but I think it's more a case by case basis, rather than a definitive answer. Pea and ham for example is soup, because it is mostly broth, with some solid meat in it. but it can be cooked for a long time.
All told, I believe The's explanation is probably the best. I think we should forward it to Ency Brit, for consideration.
So what's stroganoff?
Packed lunch FTW, by the way.

If it's runny then it's soup.
Tip: Norfolk Stew, don't peal ya veg, leave it hole, Add little meat!
Bring to the boil, simmer till veg is almost squidgy, and enjoy,
nice & lumpy me beauty
The premise is flawed.
Soup can become stew-like (by cooking longer, or stewing) which cooks off a bit of liquid content and by the addition of flour and/or corn starch.
Stew cannot become soup in any case.
If you set out to make stew and end up with soup, you've fucked things up (though not irretrievably), but for soup to be soup, it cannot ever have been stew.
Understand? :)
Nice one the "you've fucked things up" excellent!
It's a simple dish to do
No, of course not. Your premis is far too complicated for mere humans to understand. I'm surprised you bother.Quote:

I would venture to say that a general rule of thumb should be that if the main part of the dish that is causing consternation in the soup/stew debate is the lumpy bits - then it is stew. If, however, the main part of the meal is the liquid, then it is soup.
Fuck stew. I've something better.
what?
huh?
What’s the difference between soup and stew? In short, stews have a trifle less water and a bit more attitude.
So says some vegetarian cookbook.
:shuriken:
STEW
STOW
SLOW
SLOP
SLAP

You'll have noticed that the midpoint between "stew" and "soup" is "slop", of course. :happy:
