The U.S. Senate has one unbroken tradition. Of course, it’s not bipartisanship, fiscal responsibility, or reading the bills before voting on them.
It’s soup.
Senate Bean Soup.
Sometime in the early 1900s, someone decided that navy bean soup would appear on the Senate dining room menu every single day, without exception. Through recesses, through wars, through government shutdowns that left federal workers without paychecks, through every variety of dysfunction that building has managed to produce, the soup got made. With one exception: a single day during World War II when food rationing made it unavailable. That’s it. One day in over a century.
