What I HATE more than carrots

[HereWeGoAgain]

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.

You do have some redeeming qualities afterall.
Sweet tea is like anything else,if you make it right it's glorias,if not.......it sucks.

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.

Yes, celery is good with pb too. And as a vehicle for all the cream cheese you can pile into it.

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

"This has randomly entered my head approx 10 minutes ago".

Nature abhors a vacuum.

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.

It only gets worse from here.

^^^^ That is pure evil, whoever invented that is obviously a Satanist

What gave it away that it was satanic? Was it the "organic", the "biodegradable", or the "non-GMO"?


This is the only tea I drink around here. I go through a gallon of it a week...

You have to be really lazy not to make your own tea. It's not rocket science and it's gotta be a lot cheaper than buying brewed tea which is mostly water for christ sake.
That said my lazy assed wife buys the shit and it's unsweetened. She's from LA do that explains a lot.
I make my own dammed sun tea and yes it's sweet too. It's also uber cheap.

That's easy for your to say, being in sunny California. We're on the North side of a hill, so I haven't seen the sun since last August.

Are you kidding me? I was literally to my ass in snow just three or four weeks ago. I'm up in the Sierra foothills in the gold country. We had another 6 inches just about a week or so ago. I think winter is finally over though. I was finally able to fire up the smoker for some ribs earlier this week. It's been a long winter.

Ok. I didn't think you'd buy that. How about this:

I'm too lazy to go through that much trouble, and just like something that doesn't taste like the crappy well water we have.

Try it! It's very common at church socials in the south.
Now there's some eating, those baptists sure do like to eat.

I have pretty good well water so I'm lucky that way. It's sure a lot better than the chemically laden city shit.
How much trouble is it to put a few tea bags in a jug of water and sit it out on the deck?

We have city water. Hasn't had an ill effect on me.

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.

The very thought of Velveeta makes me start to gag.

Way way way too .... smarmy (as in greasy, slimy).

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.
