Random Acts of Friday: Soup

I have a friend from the north-west of Spain. He is a Basque.

He said that in his home town, they grow the most delicious pears known simply as the Basque bosc.

Some of the old women in his home town like to puree the pears and boil them down into a Basque bosc bisque, but others say that you'll get a better taste if you add some nice veal to it: a Basque bosc brisket bisque. And, obviously, the best way to stir your Basque bosc brisket bisque is with a Basque bosc brisket bisque whisk.

The soup is so popular that some of the younger women even use it as a facial cleanser and make themselves Basque bosc brisket bisque masks.

Now, naturally, when you are eating your Basque bosc brisket bisque, you tend to want something bready to go with it, so they make special Basque bosc brisket bisque biscuits which do a very good job of absorbing the soup.

Even thought the Moors were kicked out of Spain, they left behind a very little bit of influence behind. For example, they used to cook a special 'halal' - or 'clean' - type of the Basque bosc brisket bisque biscuit, which was supposed to be eaten after their worship services. It was known as the Basque bosc brisket bisque mosque biscuit, and of course you carried it to the mosque in your basque bosc brisket bisque mosque biscuit basket.

So next time your traveling from France to Spain, take the opportunity to have a picnic, pack some Basque bosc brisket bisque and some Basque bosc brisket bisque biscuits into your Basque bosc brisket bisque biscuit basket. Is there a risk?? Don't even ask.
