And now I'm hungry. Why must I be from a land without good cuisine?
Please explain grits to me. I've always wanted to know. I know what shortnin' bread is (I think) because the Andrews Sisters explained it to me. Well, I know that mama's little baby loves it, anyway.
Sweet tea...I had to look at Wikipedia. It made me cry: don't put water above 90 degrees on the teabags??! Everyone in England (I speak for them all) is shocked and appalled. Anything less than boiling -- ideally still bubbling as you pour! -- on teabags here, and the Queen will have you shot for treason.
We should one day have a tea off. I think England takes its tea as seriously as the south, we just have different approaches. It's impossible to get a decent mug of our style tea anywhere outside the UK. Fact.
