"Electric Soup" is originally the colloquial name for the beverage made by infusing milk with natural gas which was readily available from broken gas lanterns in the hallways and closes of tenements and flats across Scotland before North Sea gas was used and electric lamps were introduced. "Electric Soup" was commonly made and consumed by tramps, alcoholics and delinquents and was reported to have a mind altering effect.
