52.22.16: Soup Shells

After removing the outer, paper-like skin from these soup shells, the strengthening ribs have been revealed. These of course add nothing to the flavour of the soup itself, but rather, they help to keep the constituent particles and fluids safe as they complete their migratory travels.

 

Once liberated from the metal fortress, the soup is surprisingly soft, with viscosity varying according to species. Flavours are extremely varied also, ranging from delicious to disgustingly inedible.

 

As a bonus, the lightness and strength of the discarded shells makes them useful for all sorts of technical projects, with the two shown here being prepared for use in an experimental solar heating system for a greenhouse.

 

No one really knows where soup comes from and the internet is full of misinformation on the subject. But, thanks to painstaking new research from universities on several continents, it now seems highly likely that this universal delicacy really is the product of the (once thought to be) mythical Soup Dragon.

 

Remember though, this new hypothesis should be taken with a pinch of salt.

 

 

Usual caveats.
