I don't want to call things whatever name anymore. It's soup. It's not any special regional soup or name or anything, stop it, it's soup, anything else is specifics. Your NOODLE SOUP is not somehow more RICH or SPECIAL because it has an exotic name.

@Jazzy_Butts ok but the specifics do matter

pho and ramen are vastly different

@errante you knew exactly what I was talking about lol, literally pho

@errante I just hate culinary gatekeeping and I see it a lot, a soup is a soup, and I hate the implication that someone cannot make a kind of soup properly if they don't know the history behind it.

@errante Makes a soup with tomatoes: "Tomato soup"

Makes a soup with tomatoes: "Gespacho"

I'm really complaining about languages and the instance of people to use the names they want you to use. Like soup nazis. If I want to call pho noodle soup I should be allowed to without being shamed. Like a foreigner calling pizza pita bread, I'm not going to get mad and go all new york and say "AY BADABING IZZA PIZZA WASSA WRONG WIT YOU GUY"

@Jazzy_Butts bby gazpacho iant just 'tomato soup'
its a soup made by blending raw tomatoes
its very different to cream of tomato soup or what have you, because in one of them, the ingredients arent cooked
@Jazzy_Butts both of them are tomato soups yes, but if i ordered one and got the other i'd be annoyed, because their specific differences matter, which is why we call them the specific things. you can call pho noodle soup if you want, but the reason people call it pho is to differentiate it for the specific things that make it pho

@errante I guess that's true, I just don't follow recipies so when I make stuff it's just "seasoned chicken" and surr it might be battered and fried or baked or stewed but its still "seasoned chicken" despite the specifics.

@Jazzy_Butts if you said 'seasoned chicken, no one but you knows what you made'. talk to someone else, using more specific words can help convey what you mean.its like saying everything is food. sure, everything is food, but that doesnt exactly help
