I don't understand it. They put all kinds of shit in their doublefrotholatechino, but ask for a sweet tea and they look at you like you dropped in from another galaxy. One of the reasons I would never live above the Ohio River.

Hey!

No making fun of notherners.

We are physically able to put sugar in our iced tea, but many of us prefer it unsweetened.

And, for the record, I don't drink that froo coffee.  I like coffee-flavored coffee.

Also, for the record, I can't stand Craker Barrel.

Hey there not all of us Yankees are uncivilized,

I love sugar in my [b]iced[/b] tea with lots of lemon juice too. I also prefer my triple espresso "rocket fuel" with double chocolate and double sugar. [shock]

I'm also quite partial to chicken fried stake, deep/fried/pickled okra and collard greens.
with a slab of pecan pie  and a glass of knob creek bourbon of course.

so give us northerners some slack.  Most of the good stuff just aint reached us yet. [wave]

however i will say that anyone that can suck down a pasty cant be all there.

I can't stand anything that's sweetened.  Soda, tea, coffee...I don't care what it is, if it's sweet I won't touch it.  I cringe when someone puts sugar in their coffee.  I never even really liked candy as a kid, so I guess it's a life long trait.  Maybe it's the Lake Erie water that fucked me up all those years ago [;)].

Being a southerner transplanted north, I have to say why can't they give you lemon with your tea also?  And what's up with this "sun tea" that sux, tastes like you rinsed out the tea bag. All my norhtern friends sya that is the best tea. It's got to have sugar AND lemon and be clear not that foggy stuff.  But, also being southern I have to say I can't stand GRITS. WTF is a grit anyway? LOL

BTW haven't met much food I don't like

I am about as far South in this country as you can get. I like my tea very sweet. Someone used the term "so sweet the spoon stands up..." that's about right. For those that say why sweeten, the sugar never dissolves...it does if you know how to sweeten tea :) For those that say they can't get UNsweetened tea in the South...hogwash. 99.9% of the resturaunts in the South serve tea unsweetened. We fix it to our liking. Oh yeah, I almost forgot...after 26 years of drinking ridiculously sweet southern tea I still have all my teeth and never a cavity :P So we'll just add tea to the list of things you Yankee's can't do right!

the solution is quite simple really.............

when i go out to eat, depending on the time of day, i order either water or beer, never anything else

sweet and low dissolves nicely in unsweetened tea, so if im gonna have to drink the stuff i think i'd rather do it that way

also, i hate grits but they're not really down here, we're so close to the border you're hard pressed to find a place that sells something for breakfast other than taquitos

but my arteries be damned, i could live on beer and steak without the benefit of anything else

Living in a 'borderline' state (and considering myself to be 'southern'), I have to ask the question:

"Why do Southerners put tea in with their sugar?"

I visited Atlanta and tried the 'sweet tea' and just about had seizures (guess diabetics down there know about this stuff).  Several places around here offer 1/2 sweet 1/2 unsweet.  I personally prefer unsweetened w/lemon.

It 'cuts the dust' better for me and doesn't give you sugar spit (where you can drool strings of spit all the way to the ground standing up).

edited to add:  The stronger the (good) coffee the better.  I also have an espresso machine and can say that the stuff WILL get you going or keep you going.  Just don't go too far from the bathroom for a while after... [:D]

9divdoc,

  Have you ever tasted Blue Bell ice cream?  Until you try their version of homemade vanilla, you do not know what ice cream really is. [:D]

Yep, it's made here in the state of Texas too, but I think they are starting to ship outta state.  If you get a chance, try some. It really is amazing.

When waitress returns I ask "what kind of bread is this?"

She smiles and says "That's [i]CORNBREAD[/i]!

I tell her that it is NO KIN to cornbread!

Still laugh about that and it's been 20 years!

Now about you Yankees...

God luv you...come on down to Dixieland...eat our food...drink our water...marry our women
