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?").

Famous quotes containing the words interesting and/or facts:
“For decades child development experts have erroneously directed parents to sing with one voice, a unison chorus of values, politics, disciplinary and loving styles. But duets have greater harmonic possibilities and are more interesting to listen to, so long as cacophony or dissonance remains at acceptable levels.”
—Kyle D. Pruett (20th century)
“Now, what I want is, Facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else, and root out everything else. You can only form the minds of reasoning animals upon Facts: nothing else will ever be of any service to them. This is the principle on which I bring up my own children, and this is the principle on which I bring up these children. Stick to Facts, sir!”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
