At this frosty time of the year, nothing goes down better than a nice hot bowl of soup. As I perused the selection available in the co-op, I stumbles across a new "World" selection of soups, featuring a Mexican chilli style one, an Indian curry variety, and this offering from the shores of Italy, Meatball and tomato. Of course in the interests of the Quest for the Holy Meatball, I had to purchase it. After years of ordering food in fast food joints, I was prepared for the reality to be nothing like the picture, and the full plump balls of joy shown on the tin, turned out be battered into little shrapnel bits amongst the tomato soup. Were they to be redeemed by the taste? Although they were nowhere the standard of the mighty Candia, or even close to the dastardly skin flints of Skankway, they were more than passable. The next time a cold snap in the weather requires a hot tonic, I will have no hesitation in harnessing the huskies, and braving the freezing conditions of Clayton to high tale it to the co-op. As meatballs 4/10, as a soup 7/10.
