Coffee or Tea?

Typically a cup (250 ml for you Alan) of sugar is added to a pitcher of hot tea then cooled (if there's time) and served over ice. Mint, lemon and/or lime us added depending on the taste of the partakee.

Yeah it is a weird thing to order Iced ted and get it without sugar. must be a northern states thing. iced tea is sweet in Canada. Just like the southern states. Still don't know or want to know what chitlins are tho.

I have to agree with Alan...the drink of choice here is beer!

Never had or wanted to have chitins, but I have been told how to prepare them. You put them in a big pot of water and boil the crap out of them

Ah, chitterlings.
I could, and probably will, tell you a story about them at Slick Stock if someone reminds me.
I went to high school in deep south Georgia and they served them at Ma Powell's, the boarding house we used to eat at, every Thursday.
Chitterlings (the proper spelling) are hog intestines, called honey comb tripe in most places.
And no matter what Obsa says, you can NOT boil the crap out of them.
They are eaten boiled, or boiled then fried. Doesn't make a damn bit of difference how you cook them, or in how they taste when you're done.
Trust me, leave them for other people to eat.
Think ripe Limburger cheese on steroids.

But you pronounce them Chittlins'. And in South Georgia boiled peanuts (another southern delicacy I don't eat) are called BALLED peanuts.

I like to make sun tea....extra sweetener (I'm trying to cut down on sugar, so I use sucralose) and extra strong...set a clear jug out in the sun for a couple hours. Then refridgerate the tea...pour over crushed ice and a couple mint sprigs.

ah chittlins and balled peanuts. Its great being in the south! I like to get the peanuts just as they've been turned over in the fields. Taste better than boiling them!

We, well now just my wife, plant a row of peanuts in the garden most every year. And you are right they are great right out of the field. I learned early on though you have to control yourself and not eat too many at time. You will have a case of the.. Lets just say it will be a flushing experience!

Well ya'll need to come on down and I can take ya to the Chitlin Strut in Salley SC and you can have all the chitlins you can eat.

I've been to the Strut a few times but have never ate the chitlins....line is always too long.

It's mostly a big arts and crafts festival and a parade.
Gotta love small town USA.

That is what I like about you Skip, we can do a little intellectual sparring and an one gets mad. At least I don't think so, you aren't mad are you.

It does not matter I keep my feathers numbered for just such an emergency!

P.S. you sent me to the wikipedia with the bon nots. new phrase for the day

Well Skip, they are on my list of colloquial delicasies to pass up, along with grits and whatever that stuff that looks like fried puke is.

Thanks for the invite anyway Aba!

I won't be trying Chitlins or mountain oysters and I am not sure what the fried puke might be, but grits is good eating! Weee doggies
