10 Obscure Batman Facts That You Have Probably Never Heard Of
8. His Favourite Food Is Mulligatawny Soup
From crazy scenarios no one thought they would ever get to see, to the most basic of personal facts. Everyone has that one comfort food they keep turning to. Even Bruce, after coming home all tired from a long night of crime fighting, has that one culinary demand he will make to Alfred as soon as he's taken off the cape. The item in question, is Mulligatawny soup.
Originating from South India, Mulligatawny is a dish featuring a spicy curry base, together with carrots, coconut milk and either chicken, mutton, or lentils as the protein core. A somewhat bastardized version was imported into Europe back in the 18th century.
Of course, everything has to be made extra special for one of the world’s greatest protectors. In Batman #701, we find out that Alfred actually has a special, customized recipe for the soup. This includes a chicken main with bacon, garlic, tomatoes, and a unique curry powder.
Well, if you have the responsibility of staving off the likes of Joker, you need the right amount of nutrition and taste. And judging by the look on Batman’s face in the aforementioned issue, when Alfred announces that his favourite dish is ready, this soup might just be essential for keeping Gotham safe.
