[quote=GUESTJORDAN,322974]The explanation is very simple and everything lies back on the caltoral differences. In the west parts usually the soup is much more thicke and full with amny delicios parts of meat and veggies. Also the 'water' in the soup is not just boiled water in some parts of EU thay are eggs and yoghurt put into the soup. So the soup is dish and you EAT it, you cannot dring it. In Asia the soups are much more simplier. You can see the 2 small bones and a seeweed inside and that it. You drink it. As far I watch my chinese friends they all are drinking the soup If you say Drink the soup is an insult to the food. It is the same like you dont eat the food with hands cause it is offensive to it. But in Asia touching the food and playing with it is the way you express your graditude that you have a full table. It is a cultural thing than a gramatical[/quote]
