The soup was the hook for a joke in many British and Irish newspapers, including the
Western Daily Mercury, for more than sixty years: "“Why would Jenny Lind make good soup?" – "Because she's neither
Alboni (all bony) nor
Grisi (greasy)".
Leopold Bloom, a character in
James Joyce's
Ulysses, fantasizes about it while lunching in the Ormond Hotel: "Jenny Lind soup: stock, sage, raw eggs, half-pint of cream. For creamy dreamy." ==See also==
