Incidentally, why isn't "spacecraft" another word for "interior design"?

What could be more unexpectedly pleasant than the unforeseen arrival of a bowl of hot, heartwarming soup?

Soup By Post fills this much-needed gap in the market. Simply specify the recipient, their address, the type of soup required, and a one hour delivery slot. At or near the appointed time, a china bowl of the specified soup will be hand-delivered at precisely the right temperature, along with a complimentary soup-spoon.

       Pastry withheld until the question of whether crackers are included is answered.

       Crackers are, of course, available. Croutons can also be supplied.

Oh, there are so many confusing options to choose from!

       if it is delivered on demand, then it is not "by Post", I would of thort.

       Well, technically I suppose that's true. However, "Soup by Motorcycle Dispatch Rider" didn't sound as good.
MaxwellBuchanan, Dec 20 2015
  

       The bowl could be proffered to the recipient on the end of a length of timber suitable for employment as an upright component of a fence. Then, the service would literally be "soup by post".

       You're not taking this seriously, [8th].

       Wouldn't that be postmodern?

       Posthaste - how the soup must be delivered in order to maintain the correct temperature, shirley?

       So not some crowd sourced , insider soup tasting, by an up and coming chef, around the hundred and fifth post, south of main and poultry.

       Panera's Autumn Squash Soup is heavenly. It makes me want to cry it's so filling and delightful. I think I'm addicted. I'll take the daily service, please and thank you.

       pity the postman.

       Not really, should I be? I prefer someone else to do all the work. I just reap the benefits.
blissmiss, Dec 22 2015
  

       I second blissmiss on the Autumn Squash Soup. In fact, I'll have seconds. Are you going to finish yours?

       Only if it is delivered by a grandmotherly type or a snooty French waiter.
Cuit_au_Four, Dec 22 2015
  

       What about a snooty french grandmother ?

       Gotcha Ian. I lived with a woman in Connecticut that bought every single gadget that came out. Blenders/ blades/ shakers/ slicers/ etc. The cupboards were overflowing with them. Some she would purchase 2 of, just in case a friend was in dire need of a quick chop-chop.   

       She never used any of them, ever. The only thing she did use was the rice cooker, which she and I used daily...

       // Pretty much best most useful kitchen thing ever //   

       No.   

       Knives. Great big sharp shiny knives, MUHWHAHAHAHA !!   

       Ahem.

       I thought teaspoons didn't exist, [Ian]?

       Once saw them feed 800 kids soup on a cold day. Each kid brought a can of soup and placed on a big table. Then off to play in the snow with sledges and pretend to be huskies.   

       Meanwhile the cans were sorted into creamed, tomato, and "other" piles. Cans were opened and dumped into pots. 50 gallon pots over propane burners heated the soup.   

       Kids lined up for tomato or creamed soup and a garlic bread roll, and were soon off playing again as there were few tables an it was cold.   

       Someone took home the "other" pile of soup cans and it is probably still in their garage.

       Now that's heart warming

       Dear Max, Ditch the postal service delivery. I really think Maxco needs to team up with Amazon on this for product fulfillment and enlist their fleet of aerial drones for fast, door to door service. Perhaps drone engine heat can even be scavenged to assist in keeping the product at perfect serving temperature. Sincerely,
