If you ask for "tea" at a restaurant, what happens and where do you live? (lemmy.world)

In the South East, they bring you sweetened (usually far too sweetened for my tastes) iced tea. This is amazingly universal.

I live in NC and have been probing the border for years.

For "nicer" restaurants, the universal sweet tea boundary seems to be precisely at the NC/VA border.

In Atlanta it depends on the context. After dinner and at a fancier restaurant, they'll usually bring tea bags and hot water. At the beginning of a meal, or at something like a BBQ restaurant, you'll get sweet tea.

I presume at a BBQ place you get sweet tea no matter where on earth you are.

Well... American BBQ. Probably not Korean.

[-] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Lol, yes. At a Korean BBQ you'd probably get barley tea.

[-] PetDinosaurs@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Ha. I didn't even realize you had "Korean" in your name until just now.

[-] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Lol! Funny how that worked out.

You probably look down on all of us regular people. /s
