Don't be afraid of your freedom!

Every time, Baxters, every time.

Today's lunch was a tin of Baxters' soup, hotted up in the office microwave. But yet again, I've fallen victim to one of the classic blunders.

Highlanders broth, according to their website, is "packed full with specially selected tender cuts of beef, lamb and a variety of vegetables including pearl barley for a deliciously warm and filling meal. Perfect after a walk in the hills!"

Scotch broth, on the other hand, is "a real meal of a soup; beef, mutton, potatoes and barley combine to create a rich and warming soup."

Not much difference, you'd think. Not so! The latter is lovely, the former basically tastes brown.

I am posting this here in the hopes that articulating the above will make me remember to buy Scotch broth, not Highlanders broth, in the future. Perhaps if I form a policy of not purchasing inadequately apostrophised soup all will be well.

Gard, but not Guards.

I have just got the Soup Dragons reference, which prompted a groan.

One kudo to you. Have an answering groan for the G(u)ards.
