	Add in some banana nut muffins and/or banana pudding and I'm so there. Also, bushwackers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	This banana pudding must have a pound of Nilla Wafers in it or it can't come to the southern party. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Wait, wait, banana pudding doesn't come with Nilla Wafers already in the pudding mix? I CALL SHENANIGANS. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Wait, pudding with Nilla Wafers in it is a Southern thing? Gasp! My Massachusetts-bred family used to do it all the time, until foodie-ism got hold of us! Grandma did spend part of WW2 in Tennessee, so maybe she learnt the recipe there. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hallidae 2008-11-26 02:19 am UTC (link)
	Only if it's banana pudding, which must consist of layers of pudding made with condensed milk, banana slices, Nilla wafers, and either cool whip or egg white meringue in order to be proper Southern style. Paula Deen tries to say otherwise, which makes her a filthy liar. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	...Wow I didn't even realize there was really a difference. I always just call it iced tea at home and order sweet tea at restaurants. Though I guess I should have realized the difference when I went up north and all their iced tea was unsweetened. THE MORE YOU KNOW. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	THEY DON'T HAVE SWEET TEA UP NORTH? Oh my god i'm going to DIE when I move to Milwaukee (from NE Florida! It's practically Georgia!) next year for grad school. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

I know, it's terrible. I mean, I'm a Chicagoan born-and-bred and I hate the iced tea in restaurants -- it's never sweetened, and when you add sugar or Splenda after the fact, it just sinks to the bottom no matter how much you stir it. And so you suffer with your unsweet tea until like the last super-sweet gulp. >:(

(But some grocery stores do carry it bottled, at least. And for what it's worth, I've heard McDonald's sweet tea is as good as the Southern real thing.)

	They have sweet tea up north. I know this, because I was fucking thrilled to leave the South and be assured that any restaurant would have unsweet tea, because a lot of places in the South don't and ARGH I hate sweet tea. It's still there, much to my chagrin, but at least I can get around it. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Most restaurants don't, and the ones that do don't make it as sweet as native Southerners like it anyway. I just make my own. (Reply to this)(Parent)

That always confuses me (the sweet tea/iced tea thing)... at least where I am (dunno about the rest of Canada, but we tend to be fairly monolithic in some respects), Canadians generally all agree that "iced tea" means a sweetened variant that is not really (or maybe it is?) made from tea.

If you want an idea of what I mean, it basically comes in bottles or cans that look like the pictures on this website:

	THEY DON'T HAVE SWEET TEA UP NORTH? Even worse, they insist on putting those goddamn lemon slices in their tea. God, I hate lemon in my iced tea (sweet or not). (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Huh, interesting! I'm from Canada so I only know of iced tea. And I hate it. Because it's not sweet enough for me. I need to take a trip down south methinks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: I can haz proper speeling, plz? hallidae 2008-11-25 10:04 pm UTC (link)
	Or do what my grandmother does. ((Gallon jar (or jug, depending) + loads of sugar + steaming water) x seal and shake thoroughly) + teabags x left on the back porch in the for several hours = sunshine sweet tea. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
