.... Get rid of the grease and you have a chance.

Not on your life. In the south, "needs a little more bacon grease" is a
common cullinary term..e.g.:

"Hey honey, the grean beans taste pretty good....need a little more bacon
grease though"
"The gravy is a little dry, should have used a little more bacon grease."
"Love these biscuits, needs a little more bacon grease"

And the all time classic:

"Man this sweet tea is rich!"..."Darling, thats the bacon grease mason jar
your drinking, here's yours"


Ya'll take care now....hear.

I'd much prefer the bacon grease to "sweet tea." Ugh, this is one vile part
of the southern cuisine. I watched one of my NC friends at Oshkosh hunt
in vain for sweet (iced) tea (they kept bringing him sugar)...real sweet tea
is a supersaturated solution (you have to disolve the sugar while the tea
is still hot)...Margy uses it as a lesson in her chemistry classes.

HERESY! You yanks have gone too far now!

Of course you put the sugar in the tea while its still hot. Its the only
way to get a quart of sugar to dissolve in a gallon of tea?!?!?

Pssh. Duh.



I was in a nice restaurant in Boston a few years back and asked if they had
iced tea (not going so far as to ask for "sweet iced tea"). The waiter
brought me a cup of hot tea with a glass of ice.....hrm.....no wonder they
threw all their tea in the harbor. If it tastes like that I'd throw mine in
there too.

When I travel, its always amazing to me what just a few hours drive can do
to your taste buds. This country has a broad spectrum of different likes
and dislikes. I like them most (except the hard rolls).

Well, if you had enough sugar packets you could have made sweet tea.
