“A nice little soup for a nice little face”
is a colloquial expression from Menorca
Menorca has the third-largest harbour in the world
and supplied the Royal Navy with portable soup
A soup is a collection of ingredients easily portable
until combined with liquid to form a broth
Scotch Broth, Mulligatawny, Phở and Minestrone
soups to take you around the world
To each their own world of culinary tradition
ingredients, flavours and cooking methods
Methods passed down the generations
soup is the starter or can be the main dish
And who the heck knows what they mean in Menorca
by “A nice little soup for a nice little face…”
