    Wanna really blow some minds? Introduce the concept of "Sun Tea" It's iced tea, but brewed without the aid of hot water, or a kettle at all.
    Seen it. Had relatives that did it.

      Sun tea does not work here. We don't get enough sun. Maybe it could work for some people who have lots of time to wait for their iced tea. Whenever I've tried it, it's so weak I couldn't drink it.

        My dad used to eat this stuff.

        I thought it was disgusting.

              A mid-Altantic specialty in the US is scrapple. It is featured at my model railroad club's annual meeting, being a favorite of one of the founders. Since we have Australian and British members, vegemite and marmite have been added to the menu.

                  Another is tea plus a half a frozen condensed cranberry juice. I think the recipe is called Boston Iced tea, and it's amazing.
                  Tea and soup are two things New Yorkers get wrong. Clam chowder does NOT contain anything that grows above ground on a member of the nightshade family (potatoes, as in New England clam chowder are OK, tomatoes, as in Manhattan clam chowder are NOT), and tea does not contain booze (Long Island iced tea).

                  BTW, with so many mentions of pudding in this thread, I'm surprised nobody's mentioned the "Chieftain of the Pudding Race" - Haggis.

                    Haggis is just
                    Tried it once and never again. And before anyone asks it was the proper stuff in Scotland.

                    I'll have to try the Sun Tea. It looks yum. But I'll need to make it in a smaller batch because I'll be the only one drinking it.

                    Oh and gravy should not be white. That is just not right. I'm so glad I didn't order that when I was in the states.

                      My wife told me when she went to college in Pennsylvania, she had a friend there who "introduced" her to Scrapple.

                      That's all well and good, but did they also have VitaMeataVegaMin?

                        That one deserves a chorus of booze.

                            and tea does not contain booze (Long Island iced tea).
                            Just need to point this out. Long Island Ice Tea contains no tea to begin with. It's name is derived from two factors:

                            1. A punch during the age of piracy (ie the 17th century) made on ships owned by the British East Indian Company which did used tea as it's "weak" ingredient (punches in those age were much more strictly constructed and had specific recipes for them)

                            2. From a visual appearance, the cocktail when properly constructed is indistinguishable from a proper iced tea.

                            As far as how much tea is in the cocktail? The closest it might get is if the one mixing it looks at iced tea for a visual reference point.

                            I make it every summer myself. I have iced tea during the summer as opposed to hot tea in the morning and it's an easy enough process. You just need the temperature to be warm enough. (20C on a sunny day, 30C or warmer on a cloudy day. Rainy days are right out though)

                              I thought haggises(4,691 irradiated haggises...check)were banned from the USA...

                              Now as for scones,which way do you do them... cream then jam or jam then cream...

                                Weird that haggis would be banned, and yet the USA has chitterlings (chitilns).
