Interesting Facts
The sopa paraguaya is an essential element in any "Asado" (a social occasion where diverse cuts of grilled beef, pork and sausages are eaten, the Paraguayan version of the American barbecue), during the days of Semana Santa (Holy Week) especially at the Viernes Santo (Good Friday), and also at weddings. There's always a recurrent question that is made to the couples still unwed after many years: ¿Cuándo comemos la sopa? ("When will we eat the soup?").

“How much more interesting an event is that man’s supper who has just been forth in the snow to hunt, nay, you might say, steal, the fuel to cook it with! His bread and meat are sweet.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A pun does not commonly justify a blow in return. But if a blow were given for such cause, and death ensued, the jury would be judges both of the facts and of the pun, and might, if the latter were of an aggravated character, return a verdict of justifiable homicide.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
