Because it would remind me of school dinners onion soup ;-)

You had soup at school?

There's posh!

I think it was probably meant to be stew. We certainly didn't have three
courses!

Ah. Are you sure it wasn't worm stew?

You're much younger than me so won't have experienced school meals during
the war. We often had porage for pudding. It was similar to the mashed
potato in that it had lumps of cardboard in it. But we were always hungry
