      I had never seen something like that before, and if I had it had been called a sauce, not a soup.

      it was like a grey/green pureed glop with the consistency of american apple sauce

      I would have cried myself to sleep, but I was in a 12 bed hostel dorm and 11 of the beds were occupied by participants in a UK kid’s stag/bachelor party. I had come to Ireland to do a masters degree and the interview was the following day. I did not get a good nights sleep I can confirm.

      they took me out like a mascot. if there was a decision to make theyd say “ask the yank, let him decide” so I was the person adjucating major decisions, such as does the groom need to still wear the plastic ball and chain prop his friends had gotten for him, what kind of bottom shelf shot will we do next etc.

      I went to my college interview unable to put on a facade of faux “can do” and “organized” guy and could only do my best to be sincere and answer the panel’s questions as best as I could. I got on the course, and I have a suspicion that if I had gone to the interviews (plural) pretending I was what I thought they wanted instead of being just my authentic self I wouldnt have been accepted to the course.

      anyway I was expecting like noodles or identifiable chunks of stuff. but the soip was warm pureed something. it did compliment the cold ham and cheese slices and the butter 😚👌
