This week, now happily over, was National Split Pea Soup Week. I'm not sure why this particular soup gets a whole week, not sure why it would even get a day. I am not a picky eater, really I'm not, but there are two things I really don't want to eat. One is tomato soup and the second least favorite is split pea soup. I like peas and I like tomatoes but not in soup. I think it may have something to do with the texture of these soups. Don't laugh. I had a friend in college who had no sense of smell or taste (this was long before Covid) and yet she had very definite likes and dislikes in food. I finally asked her one day how she knew that she liked or didn't like a particular food if she couldn't taste it. She said it was the texture. I don't remember her soup preferences but I'm pretty sure she was fond of ice cream.
