Oh, we were very young and on the verge of poverty. One didn’t go around wasting food

One time when we were young, a pot of milk based vegetable soup (traditional thing, you love it or hate it) was forgotten on the table when we went to party out of town for a day or two mid summer. When we got back, the soup was a few hours short of developing sentience, surprisingly no mold but quite lively. My friend turned that potful into thick American style pancakes and these were the best I’ve ever had
