Gravy is soup that you eat with a fork.

@cstross The soups we like to make tend to be sturdy, not the watery stuff. A fork might not be the most efficient thing but would definitely work at least somewhat. I like to call it "stewp".

If you can't eat the sauce with a fork it's no gravy!

@cstross Many's the cold morning Dad would open the #gravy draw and cut us a slice to eat in our hands on the way to school.

@cstross My ex defined "proper soup" as one that you can stick your spoon into and the spoon keeps standing. She was from the north-eastern corner of Poland. They have harsher winters there and the line between a soup and a gravy gets blurred. The further south you go, the thinner the soups get.

@cstross what if we could find a niche market for gravy specific sporks?

@juzam Or … hear me out … AI-enabled gravy-optimized fat straws? The AI is to correctly assess the lumpiness of the gravy and adjust suction in real time—as long as you keep its bitcoin wallet topped up, of course.

@cstross @juzam You're out of touch. You need more Quantum in it if you want to make it a success.
