He also participates through tasting the pig lip. He explains his views through his personal experience. In his writing, Edge starts by explaining the history of the manufacture of pig products: how it started, collapsed, and how it came to operate again. The “Soup” presents a traditional culture; we find Mr. Yeganesh preparing only soup in his restaurant where he maintains preparation of his food with no chemicals. Yeganeh is also very strict when dealing with customers that he even sends customers who do not follow his rules away.

Edge, on the other hand, presents his arguments in a modern culture; he waits for his meal in a pub while drinking a few beers, and tastes the pig lip with chips.
