Snack Semantics

At last, friends, a Snack Semantics where I’m not arguing alone!

Exhibit A: Soup

Soup is slurpable. Soup is comfort in a bowl, the kind you sip while watching raindrops on the window. It’s light, it’s brothy, it carries noodles or vegetables like little passengers in a tasty swimming pool.

Soup is for when you want warmth without too much work from your teeth.

Exhibit B: Stew

Now stew… stew is chewable. Stew is hearty, thick, and full of chunks. It doesn’t just sit in a bowl—it anchors the bowl to the table.

You don’t sip stew. You scoop it, fork it, chew it, and occasionally nap afterward. Stew is soup with ambitions.

The Pandy Agreement 🐼

Here’s the big surprise: Pandy agrees with me!

He calmly declared:
“Doggie, the difference between soup and stew is more than just a name—it sets expectations. Soup is lighter, stew is heavier. You don’t confuse the two.”

I wagged my tail so hard I almost spilled my bowl. Finally! Snack semantics with backup!

The Mini Blue Test 🐙

To be thorough, I gave Mini Blue two bowls:

• One labeled “Soup” (clear broth with noodles).
  
  

• One labeled “Stew” (thick beefy chunks with potatoes).
  
  

They slurped the soup, chewed the stew, and turned orange with satisfaction.

Translation: Mini Blue says both are valid—just don’t mix the labels.

Doggie’s Final Verdict

Soup = slurp.
Stew = chew.
Both = cozy.

And for once, Pandy agrees with me. Victory has never tasted so warm.
