Heh heh indeed. Except it's a sort of unhealthy yellowish sludge,
doubtless to misleadingly suggest a high proportion of egg yolk. But
then this is a hot button, so...

Now, can anybody who would bother to retain memories on such a matter,
tell me if they remember canned tomato soup, especially Campbell's (you
know, the company in NEW JERSEY who own Pace foods, the famous _Texas_
salsa people) being significantly redder and less creamy than it
currently is, say, 20 years ago? Please understand that by using the
word  "creamy", I am not necessarily implying the presence of cream.
It's just that I had occasion to look at Campbell's tomato soup fairly
recently, and was confused by the fact that this appeared to be Cream of
Tomato soup, while the label read simply, "Tomato Soup", and this looked
considerably different from the product I remembered from my childhood.
Can anybody state whether there has been a formula change, or am I
imagining things, or what?

I'm still tinkering with my recreation of a tomato soup I had in a
sleazy luncheonette/coffee shop in Binghamton, New York (home town of
Rod Serling), allegedly an English tomato soup with horseradish and
bacon. Will post if I ever get it right, but it kicked butt.

It has to get into my body before it can make me upchuck. Luckily that
almost never happens.

Sorry, this has become topical since the release of the Broadway
musical... "Where's _my_ share? Where's Leo Bloom's share? I want... I
want... I WANT EVERYTHING I'VE EVER SEEN IN THE MOVIES!!!"

Adamantius, who, if there could only be one comedy, would choose "The Producers"...
