Here's a classic food funny courtesy of reader Sharon Lay:
A man and woman got married and had a little boy who was very healthy,
but as he got older his parents noticed that he never spoke. This
concerned his parents greatly. They took their son to several doctors
who ran series of tests and told them that the boy was perfectly
healthy but would probably never speak. Resigned, the parent took
their son home and did everything in their power to keep him happy.
One night seven years later while eating dinner, the little boy looked
up from his plate and said in a clear voice, "These peas are cold."
Overjoyed, his parents celebrated and hugged and kissed him. "Oh,"
they said. "We're so happy. We thought you couldn't speak. Why
haven't you spoken until now?"
The boy looked at his parents and said, "Well, up until these peas,
everything's been fine."

Fresh, homemade soup doesn't get any easier than this. You can use
thinly sliced fresh salmon for this recipe, but I like the flavor of
smoked salmon.
Salmon and Spinach Soup
2 Tbs (30 ml) butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
4 - 6 cups (1 - 1.5 L) chicken stock
1 lb (450 g) smoked salmon, thinly sliced
3 - 4 cups (750 ml - 1 L) chopped fresh spinach leaves
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Heat the butter in a large pot over moderate heat and saute the onions
until tender but not brown, about 10 minutes. Add the chicken stock
and bring to a simmer. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer
gently for 5 minutes. Serves 4 to 6.
