Technically it's lower because of the brothiness. There was a peer reviewed paper published the the America Journal of Culinary Science in 2019 that redefined soupiness as a ratio of brothiness to chunkiness over tastiness ( ∆S=B:C/T).

However the T variable for tea depends on quantum superposition based on a wider range of subjective variables, so tea's soupiness is S=1:0/T.

Salad is called salad because it's salted - it's right there in the name. Salt is basically the only required ingredient, and it's usually missing from tea. Furthermore, the stuff that is salted (and nowadays dressed) to become salad is usually fresh stuff, not dried and fermented.

The majority of tea (pu'erh my beloved excluded) is not fermented it is oxidized.

Fermented: Silly lil guys do some magic to make flavour get funky. EX: pu'erh, wine, miso, bread

Oxidized: Oxygen, destroyer of worlds, wrecks havoc on the chemical structure of hapless molecules. EX: Guac that has gone brown, green, oolong, and black tea, rust.

Salt does get added to tea. It's not common in British tea culture, but they appropriated tea from elsewhere in the first place.

Good time to drop an educational reminder that tea isn’t just leaves in hot water but an actual plant. The tea plant, or Camellia sinensis.

A lot of the things that get labeled as “tea” are not actually tea.

Most tea-shits are actually made from cotton or polyester too; it's a fucking scandal.

Yes, if it doesn’t contain actual tea leaves it is technically an infusion.

literally on assumption 2 they're already wrong a typical AMERICAN english speaker would but everyone else would call tuna salad tuna mayo and pasta salad well we don't really eat that that nuch but if it had hot dogs we'd call it hot dog pasta I'm not sure what to call it if it's just peppers and pasta and sauce I think then creme fraiche pasta cause we'd use creme fraiche not salad cream and taco salad is just taco filling so no by assumption 2 they're already completely wrong pizza is by no means a salad a salad is predominantly vegetables or at the very least fruit

Salad comes from Latin. Sal- (as in saline) is the root word, meaning salted. A salad is chopped veggies with oil and salt. Today we generally used a Mayo or vinaigrettete style dressing, containing salt, oil, and usually an acid as well.

showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

All posts must be showerthoughts
The entire showerthought must be in the title
No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
