the top of the soup bowl

At buffet type resaurants, why does the top of soup become slightly harder and usually a darker color? Is it good for you or bad for you?
What, the skin? No, cannot imagine it could be bad for you.

it's no better or worse for you than the soup.

It doesn't taste that great, but it won't hurt you. You can just dip the ladle past it. Or tell the buffet owners to think of investing in some metal covers.

Just mix it up with the rest of the soup and you won't be able to tell the difference. This isn't something special to a buffet—if you cook some soup in a microwave oven the same thing will happen.

Welcome to our planet. This often happens here. People call it the 'skin'. It will not hurt you. If you have any other questions about Earth, feel free to email me.
