Do you want to work in a brothel?

After long and arduous thought I have decided to open a brothel. I am pretty open minded about what to serve there and I hope for an extensive, but not too expensive menu. I'd like to get something a little saucy, hot and spicy. But nothing too toe curling. All customers will be made welcome and shown to a room designed especially for the delights ahead. I think softly lit cubicles will deliver the right degree of ambience. But it is the menu that I am struggling with and would like some help with. Clearly there will be the regular broth. Chicken I think. But what after that. I rather hoped that you might help me out here. What is your favorite broth or soup? Could I put it on the menu?

You truly rock my socks off, p1kef1sh!
I think you should have some exotic 'broths' on the menu -- coconut soup, tom yum, and other 'spicy' things. You could even do a 'wild' rice soup! Finger foods would be excellent, too, so that your patrons can...er...grab and go. I think a definite would be a fully stocked bar with a large selection of body shots and demonstrators. And then there are the desserts...
Oh, the possibilities!!

Rassolnick - Sorrel & kidney Schi
1 dill pickle, whole
6 TBS butter (REAL butter, not margerine)
1 c thinly sliced onions
.5 c finely chopped celery
1 c finely chopped parsley
2 lbs fresh sorrel leaves, washed and chopped
.25 lbs fresh spinach leaves
1 tsp salt and pepper
1 qt beef stock
1 lb veal/lamb kidneys, trimmed of fat
.5 c flour
2 TBS virgin olive oil
1 egg yolk
2 c Sour cream
Cut the pickle in half lengthwise. Run a spoon down to remove seeds and pulp. Place in a fine sieve over a small bowl and press firmly with the back of the spoon to extract the juices before discarding.
Melt 4 TBS of butter in a 4-5 qt casserole over moderate heat. When the foam has almost subsided, stir in onions and celery and cover. Reduce heat to low and simmer at least 10 minutes until the onions are transparent.
While the soup is simmering, prepare the kidneys. Using a sharp knife, cut away fat and slice into .5 inch thick slices and add to soup.
In a mixing bowl, beat the egg yolk lightly with a fork. Slowly beat in 1 cup of the hot soup. Pour the mixture slowly back into the casserole, stirring constantly.
Add the rest of the ingredients (except sour cream) and simmer 2 minutes without allowing it to boil.
Stir in sour cream directly before serving.

A nice breakfast dish could be a large sausage served with 2 hard boiled eggs and a donut.
For lunch or dinner, steamed whole asparagus and carrots and fish tacos.
For dessert banana split with extra nuts and whipped cream.

A Brothel? Hmm, Well, I love a good hearty beef stew not a soup but it is filling and would give them the enewrgy they would need later for those delights. Or just a Vegetable soup. So what color theme have you chosen to go with for this brothel? Hopefully not a gawdy red?..

Hmmm,Me I just get some beef stew meat roll it in flour and lightly fry it then add it to the crockpot and add carrots slices, potatoes chunked, and a cup of frozen peas and a little water,salt,pepper, and garlic powder and let cook and if needed I will add beef gravy mix. But we all make it different.....................Color.. I feel that soft baby pink(satin finish) with cream or Ivory accents would be nice and make a woman relax and feel womanly...Sadly my husband refuses a pale pink room..I guess I will have to deal with the one orange(my brother in law painted it Melon orange) wall and panelling on the others..

Hmmm - I can just see you as the mild mannered Brothel keeper p1ke but are you sure teh Boss will allow you to go through with this latest enterprise of yours?
Anyway I was going to suggest a nice tomato and basil soup but as there will be plenty of heat and spice already going on maybe a cold Gazpacho would be a better idea! xxx

I love lobster bisque but if you want to keep it inexpensive then tomato bisque works too. :)

My favorite broth, p1key? Could you put it on the menu? Wellllll, it WOULD be on the menu, in a manner of speaking.......

I would think that the patrons you seek will hardly notice you have a written menu.
I'm sure most would not notice you serve food at all.
Me thinks their eyes would be perusing the visual menu.

Oh, I was going to tell you off, but I see there's no need to now. ;)
Hmmm, my Nanna (Mr.Crocs Mum) used to make broth, it was really nice actually, I'm not sure what it was, but it was foreign stuff, as she was foreign, she was from up North you know and as that's not in Doryworld, it's foreign.
Maybe it was Scotch Broth, I don't have a recipe though. Oh, how about pea soup? Apparently you can make that from the fog in London. :)
Do you need a Maitre De? I need a job you know and I'm good at stuff and things and stuff. :)

Oop North foreign! You need to travel more Dory. See the sites and marvel at others funny little ways! Even your sister made it to Stafford last week. You have the car, where could you go? Pea soup. Good idea but they don't have London fogs anymore. Not like those ones anyway. Thanks for not telling me off. I spend my life standing in the corner!

Beautiful play on words. I'm still laughing.
For seafood lovers you need to have a traditional chunky chowder like clam and for those who don't want that heavy feeling in the pit of their stomachs after eating you may want to add a light shrimp bisque. Both are sure to please even the most finicky of eaters who like to indulge in their seafood

ROFLMAO!!! You have quite a twisted sense of humor, P1ke!
And to answer, my favorite is egg-drop soup. You did say you wanted an extensive menu...
(No, I'm not Asian, but I adore their cuisine! I'm pretty sure you could put it on the menu. It isn't hard to make, you just have to find the right pre-made packet of spices--cheater's way, I know!)

Now that I'm older and wiser I'd curl up inside thinking about how abusive and degrading this business all is.
A lot of people glorify this kind of thing these days and I know it as the most degrading business in the world.
I used to know a lot of these women and they are all damaged inside because of this work.
A smile can so easily be false and I've seen so many of them.
I truly hope this discussion is not for real.
The lives of these ladies hardly ever is.

I'm talking about soup and you are discussing damaged ladies!? My discussion is a play on words. However, as I have never visited a brothel I really do not feel able to comment. Nobody should be forced to do anything that they don't want to do. If that is the case with many of these women then that is truly sad.

Piky..you cant possibly serve broth..a brothel it may be ,but broth aint goin on that menu!!How can you attract anyone with a plate of broth!!the huge downside of the broth bit is..that if you try to smear it all over,then lick it all off,it will just be a digustingly unsexy mess!!I thought maybe something along the lines ..say..crudites...with dips..the dips can be smeared here and there,,..and the crudites can be nibbled sexily...or a Dairylea dunker..that would be better....or goujons...a good shaped nibble yet again.If you like I can be the Mother of this brothel...being mature and experienced lol..I can offer `mothering` sessions...a lot of chaps love a good spoil!!
