Too Many Cooks...

So, I was at my apartment a few days ago when my roommate came into my room and had me listen to one of her messages. The message was from her classmate who was talking about some group project and too many people in the group. In the message she said, "You know, it would be like too many cooks cooking the meal." My roommate laughed at that because she said, "That's not even how the saying goes. It is 'too many cooks in the kitchen.'" I thought this was interesting that the girl used this proverb, albeit differently than my roommate knew it, so I looked it up online. The most common version I found was "Too many cooks in the kitchen spoil the soup," however, often the word soup was replaced by stew or broth. Interesting.
