Quite so, when a kettle, or even more so, a copper, in past centuries, was often a good way to cook & even to reheat deliciously moist, satisfying, economical & nutritious soup that fed everybody in the family plus friends as well.

Oh I am most dreadfully sorry, madame, it was given to you by mistake, when we should have given you a model of the neighbouring Toast Rack building, containing the croutons to go with your kangaroo tail soup.
Waiter! There is a winged Melbourne tram in my soup!

I'm sorry, Sir, a child at the next table is playing with plastic toy animals, and accidentally threw it towards your table.
Waiter, there's a mirror in my soup!
There, shining in the sunrise, larger than they had seen him before, shaking his mane (for it had apparently grown again) stood Aslan himself.

Our pleasure, & I hope you find it most useful! A mirror is one of those items that are often necessary, but are seldom around when you want one.

Yes, of course there is! It is a Welcome to the district, waterproof library card. This is our Municipal Council's initiative, when we are proud of how much of local heritage is available for residents & visitors to see, the wide range of sporting & cultural interests & our well-run local services and amenities, information about all of which can be found in our well-stocked library.
Waiter! There is a boomerang in my soup!

Indeed, Sir. It is a token to allow you to *Return* your soup bowl for a free refill.

Thank you for calling it to our attention, ma'am. You may be asked to give a statement to a police officer as another patron reported the theft of an emerald necklace earlier this evening.

Oh dear! I'm so very sorry. You see, it's quite strange: from time to time odd things turn up in our rabbit stew--teapots... teacups... playing cards... why, once there was even a lovely gold pocket watch!
Waiter, there's a tree in my soup!

No, your soup is in the bucket! We pride ourselves on our huge portion sizes!
