What I HATE more than carrots

[Dick Foster]

Okay, LUCY DON'T READ THIS -- YOU'LL GAG but when I was in Charleston for a visit, I fell in love with Sweet Tea at this little hole in the wall soul food restaurant run by an ancient old black lady and two of her daughters. It was the first time I ever had Sweet Tea (pretty much all they had, if I remember right). It came in a big glass jammed full of ice cubes and it was STRONG. Strong tea, LOTS of lemon and LOTS of sugar. The tea and lemon balanced the sugar and the whole thing was so concentrated it just exploded in your mouth, ice cold mindja.

After that, I tried Sweet Tea at two other places and it was that watered down sugar water someone here already mentioned. No good at all.

I'll never forget the Sweet Tea at that little place. It's a best foods memory like the grilled oysters with a tiny pile of good caviar I had once.

Oh lord, now I'm getting hungry.

I hope you got yourself some whole hog barbeque at Scott's in Charleston while you were there. There's just nothing quite as good as whole hog barbeque.

That was the one culinary disappointment of the trip--I didn't get to a barbecue place! We didn't have a car. I would LOVE to try some. I don't know about the vinegar/mustard sauce though. I've grown up with tangy sweet.

I've had the vinegar/mustard type....... It's an acquired taste that I doubt I'll ever acquire..........

Well I'm no proponent of mustard in barbeque sauce that's limited to SOUTH Carolina and my taste for barbecue was developed in NORTH Carolina. Actually I don't use it at all on my Q but I do makeup a table or finishing sauce for others that's pepper, vinegar, some ketchup and a little sugar (very little sugar).

Yup, had both North and South Carolina sauces, wasn't impressed with either, both are too vinegary for my tastes. For those who love them, more power to em. However most "typical" sauces are too sweet for me, I either make my own or mix Stubbs with Kraft Original.

If you get the meat right no sauce is necessary. Dry rub, smoke and eat.

BTW there's no such thing as traditional barbecue sauce.

What I HATE more than carrots this is Ice Tea, a disgusting monstrosity. When I was in Texas for six months I was subjected to this and because I am polite I on two occasions accepted Ice Tea, but I add on BOTH of these occasions I made the Ice Tea able to drink by putting Jim Beam (Bourbon) in it.

This has randomly entered my head approx 10 minutes ago, the Ice Tea situation I was subjected to, not sure why it randomly entered my head, I think I must have been psychologically traumatised by it and it return to me in a Flashback

Ya like cukes ?

That's crap. Sugary gob, yeck. Wretched stuff.

Sweet tea? Yuck. Wouldn't touch it. Unsweet totally different.

I agree. And it must be made fresh every day. Many people try to keep it a day or two. Yuck.

Most Americans like a cup of sugar or high fructose corn syrup in their food...... or so it would seem......

Southern Iced tea is too sweet... The better way to learn to love it is to ice it with fruit juice as a sweetener... Suggest "pineapple"...

Thats just totally wrong.
You can add however much sugar you want or none at all.

Now you're coming after me for suggesting "fruit tea"?? This thread has taken a wicked turn...

I'll tell in truth -- since you punched it right of me... 3 out of 10 times I'll choose "sweet tea".. There.. we're cool...

Don't know if you realize that Southern sweet tea isn't just a cup of tea and a reasonable amount of sugar.. It's tea flavored corn syrup...

 

[flacaltenn]

Sweet tea and grits. Yuck!

Compared to your normal diet of jism and dingleberries I can see you reluctance.

Shame, shame, HWGA! I don't believe "jism" and "dingleberries" are suitable for this forum......

In this case I had to throw out the rules.

I CAN understand why. We've had mods contributing to this thread from the start, and they haven't pooh-poohed (Wait, is THAT acceptable in this forum?!?) you, so you're most likely safe!

Zone2 forum.. reasonable dirty words expected.. But with "topical content"..

Now you what hummingbirds are fueled with --- RIGHT? Southerners GOT to get a sugar high to overcome the general slowness of things...

When I was in Texas I also saw this thing called Alabama Sweet Tea in a MASSIVE CAN and I thought WTF this is deranged

I think that is Arizona, not Alabama.

I like carrots but not the way I was raised on them. My mom used to over cook them "candied"........

Raw baby carrots dipped in peanut butter are a great snack.

I prefer celery sticks with peanut butter, all natural, no sugar added peanut butter. I like raw carrots just as they are. Celery sticks also go good with cream cheese.

You people are sick! It's ranch dressing, of course.

Tropical content? Like, "It's so fucking hot in this mother fucking rain forest!"

I never drank ice tea until I joined the Marines. We had pitchers of the stuff on the table in the mess hall at Parris Island and it was the best thing I ever tasted at the time.

I’ll trade kale for carrots all day long.

Sweet tea and grits. Yuck!
