Is cereal a form of soup?

[Yoak]

I think it is. @nateX thinks otherwise.

Sure, it's a soup. I am being held hostage.

If brought to a boil, yes. According to the OED

 

 

What is cereal compared to soup, and is it right to classify both as the same substance? Thinking about their separate definitions, it is easier to distinguish the limitations of their categories. On a quick trip down the Oxford English Dictionary road, I found both soup and cereal to be deeply rooted in language and history. Derived from the Latin, “Cerealis” (attributed to the goddess of agriculture), the OED defines cereal as “pertaining to corn or edible grain.” Any oats or wheat that humans consume are traditionally cereal. Soup, on the other hand, is defined as a, “liquid food prepared by boiling.” Therefore, soup is anything that extracts flavor from a product by letting it soak in broth. In that case, cereal is wheat and soup is stew.

Cereal is a hoax

[Shaderz]

No. Soup is technically liquid food that is prepared by boiling. The keyword here is liquid. Cereal is typically eaten with milk, and milk is considered a fluid. Liquids and fluids aren't the same thing. Therefore, cereal is not a soup.

Soup is gross
