===Adaptations===

====Film====
The film ''[[Fandango (1985 film)|Fandango]]'' (1985) contains a wedding sequence towards the end which builds on the Stone Soup theme. The protagonists need to hold a wedding ceremony, but they lack the necessary funds. Therefore, they set up a folding [[card table]] by the main street of a sleepy Texas town, dust it off, and invite passersby to come to the wedding. As they concoct stories of delinquent caterers and crashed champagne trucks, the friendly townspeople contribute their time and resources, the result being a magical wedding ceremony.

===Military tactics===
US Army General [[George S. Patton]] referred to the "rock soup method" of acquiring resources for attacks in the face of official disapproval by his superiors for offensive operations. In the military context, he sent units forward, ostensibly on reconnaissance missions, where he knew resistance was to be met. "Surprised" at the enemy resistance, Patton would later request support for his scouts, and these missions eventually turned into small scale probing attacks. Then, once full combat had begun, Patton would request (or make the executive decision) to encircle or push full force against enemy resistance, under the rationale that the reinforcements were either bogged down or unable to retreat. He did this during the [[Battle of Sicily]], in the advance on [[Palermo]], and again in the campaign in northwest Europe, near [[Metz]] when his [[3rd US Army]] was officially halted during [[Operation Market Garden]].<ref>{{cite book |last=Farago |first=Ladislas |title=Patton: Ordeal and Triumph |publisher=Westholme Publishing LLC |year=2005 |location=[[Yardley, Pennsylvania]] |isbn=978-1594160110}}</ref>
