I am aggrevated. No, that's not quite accurate. I am disappointed. Yes. Disappointed. A little.
We live in the South. The deep South. Dixie. Home of good barbeque. And cornbread. Mint Juleps, pecan pie and homemade peach ice cream. And sweetened iced tea. It has been said by someone very, very wise that the farther south you go, the sweeter the iced tea and women.
You'd think that all the restaurants around here would serve good iced tea....sweetened implied, of course. Most of 'em do. Sometimes the iced tea is the only thing that keeps the customers coming back. Make a good pitcher of tea and watch your restaurant fill to capacity everyday for lunch. Us folks do love our iced tea. Sweetness implied.
If we want unsweetened iced tea, we order it that way. Unsweetened. Plain and simple. Nothing confusing about that.
And don't try to serve us that SUN tea. That is some weak-ass tea. Demon inspired. Pour water in a glass gallon jug. (The jug does NOT have to have the words SUN TEA printed on it.) Toss in a couple of tea bags and sit it outside. Talk about lazy! The guy who invented that has to be reponsible for God killing a few kittens. He also probably talked back to his mother. Bastard.
Anyway. The gist.
Tonight, we went to a relatively new restaurant with friends. We all ordered iced tea. Sweetened implied, of course. What we received was tea flavored kool-aid. Blechhhh. Instant tea. Nasty. Nasty. Nasty. And lemon does not help the flavor of tea kool-aid at all. Sorry.
How hard is it to throw a few tea bags into a kettle of boiling water and let it steep for a few minutes? Add a little sugar and pour over ice. Bet it took longer to dissolve the instant tea in cold water than it would to brew a pot of Lipton's. Heck, they could let the tea steep while they're busy spitting in our food. Just joking. About the spitting.
The iced tea we were served tonight was a definite deal breaker for Hubby and Dave. They said they were going to boycott the restaurant until they served proper iced tea. Sweetened implied, of course.
Not me and Terry. Boycott schmoycott. We were worse than that. We sent our tea back because "it tasted funny". We ordered Cokes instead, which are more expensive per serving. Free refills. You do the math while I go tinkle. Again. We are evil. Eeeeevil.
The waitress asked if we wanted an after dinner coffee. All four of us asked in unison: "is it instant or real brewed coffee?".
She assured us that it was real coffee. Methinks she is a lying sack of horse shit. Me also thinks that the restaurant is serving International Coffees by General Foods. Or Kraft. Or the devil. No, the devil would not serve pumpkin spice flavored instant coffee.
Anyway.
We had 2 cups apiece and celebrated the moments of our life.
Sweetness implied.
