it's all iced-tea to me...

Never heard of sweet tea?? It's homemade tea with sugar (lots usually) heated into it. It's pretty good but it's normally too sweet for me so I made the switch to unsweetened...and that's NOT popular around Tennessee

9 times out of 10 if you order "tea" in a restaurant in the south and don't specify if you want it sweet or not, you'll get it sweetened.

Beer..
with Dinner.. (I almost said for dinner)

Because it is after 12 noon.

Y'all are strange about your tea

Tea is made in a pot, served piping hot with, optionally, milk and sugar.

I realize it's hot and humid in Atlanta but there's a big freakin' Coke factory there for a reason.

**WhiskeySix** · 01-12-2006, 11:04 AM

right, there's TEA - which is hot... when you order it, they'll bring you some milk, sugar and/or honey on the side..

"iced tea" is by default the sweet, comes-in-a-bottle stuff. if they have both, the waitress'll ask "sweetened or unsweetened". If they've only got unsweetened, they respond "it's unsweetened, is that ok?"...

We call it tea in the North of England. Dinner is otherwise known as lunch, and supper is a snack eaten shortly before bed, possibly with milk. I drink water with tea, and tea with lunch, unless I am eating Fish and Chips in which case I have tea with tea. If it is a Friday (or I have some other excuse) I might have beer with tea but never a light beer as that is a SIN. I always drink a coffee after tea, but I don't drink it with breakfast. Clear?

"NOoooooo, not MINORS... MINERS!!!"

"uhhhh... ya lost me."

I voted water, since that's what I have with a meal at home (usually Diet Coke when eating out), but I usually follow dinner with a cup of black tea.

icky · 01-12-2006, 11:33 AM

I drink milk and I call it "milk".

OH oh you mean what do I call the MEAL. Dinner, although supper and dinner are completely interchangable in our house, I think I use dinner more.

And if the meal is at a restaurant, I usually have beer with it. (and call it beer)

Black tea is a type of tea (e.g., as distinct from green tea). Tea without milk, sugar, etc. is referred to as clear. Now, if you'll excuse me, I seem to have something up my...

Yes, but I see that Priest drinks green tea, and hence the distinction. Although I like green tea as well.

I usually drink my tea clear, although I have been known to add milk and sugar to crap like Liptons, which is all we have at work.

Oh, yeah, while we are at it:

Good coffee (The stuff I make)=black, no sugar.
Crap coffee (Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts)=milk or cream, tons of sugar.

Well, really good coffee, I don't want to have anything in it. I like the taste, and each variety is slightly different. My current faves are all dark roasts, and mainly Latin American beans. But if I don't have time, I go past DD on the way to work. Have you ever tried to drink that black?

**WhiskeySix** · 01-12-2006, 12:48 PM

haha! yeah, s'not good! But, like cheap booze, it's got a job to do and it has nothing to do with taste.
