As I polish off my bowl of boeuf bourguignon soup (bogwitch will be pleased to note that Housemate and I have defected from Asda to Sainsbury's online shopping, generally to escape the permarain and the inability to bring back more than 4-8 loo rolls at a time on our bikes), it strikes me that foreign cuisine has only really made it in the UK these days once it's been successfully turned into a type of sandwich, crisps and/or soup. Where would we be without the wraps of the world (currently discovering: chipotle'n'chicken), the ubiquitous Thai sweet chilli crisp (and my current favourite thing of Warburton's naan chips) and the supermarkets' competition with Covent Garden and Glorious! soups to make the bestest flavour? I fear we are all taste-hounds who can't be arsed to cook. I blame Rick Stein.

boeuf bourguignon soup

...Isn't it already sort of soupy? ...Stewy? Sounds good, anyway.

Oh my gosh, I'm going to have to see if someplace around here sells naan chips; what a brilliant idea.

This is the magic of all stew-/curry-based soups - it's basically the same, but with more sauce that's slightly runnier. This also had potatoes and carrots in, I suppose to make up for the fact it came on its own.

Naan chips are tasty, tasty things.
