Like a child bravely sticking out it's tongue at an adult authority figure then quickly running away, this article from the Financial Times of London strikes a blow at the French self-proclaimed superiority when it comes to soup. What I find most interesting about it is the concept of the annual soup festival. How much more appealing that is than the Pillsbury Bake-Off or so many dreary local chili and barbeque competitions.

I find this a nice change from the Oktoberfests that virtually every town in American thinks it is supposed to have.
