Sunday Night Soups: Perla Meyers' Celeriac Soup of '73
The final Sunday Night Soup of the year features a visit by the Titans of Tennessee to the Colts of Indianapolis. As it happens, these are the Gurgling Cod’s two least favorite NFL franchises. The Titans deliberately injured Patriot safety Rodney Harrison in the regular season finale last year, making it possible for the Colts to be the last team to beat the Patriots. The Titans need a win to make the playoffs, while the Colts have clinched a playoff berth. A win does the Colts no good, so expect to see members of the Terre Haute Youth Choir and the Evansville Jaycees getting plenty of snaps. Soupwise, a bit of a poser – we have discussed the uncompelling foodways of Indiana before. Tennessee is known to have good things to eat, but most are in solid form, such as BBQ. An exception would be Jack Daniels, but if you want to make a whiskey-based soup (JD is not a Bourbon), you are on your own. So instead of local, we will think seasonal.
