if you put a liquid on a solid thing but it remains a liquid, are you eating that liquid or drinking it

at what point does a liquid/solid mix count as eating vs drinking, ie boba tea vs vinegar on fries. or a lava cake. or a soup dumpling.

do you consider soup 'drinking' or 'eating'.

do you consider say, ketchup, to be a Liquid

@Runner I think the distinction lies not in its matter phase, but whether the purpose is to quench vs. nourish

@elfi what about protien shakes. they're designed to nourish but generally are drank and not eaten

@Runner hmm, no, you're right. Perhaps in the use of utensils then...

Granted there are always exceptions to the rule so we will never find a neatly-fitting category
