Central Ohio Tea Party : Discover Columbus

May. 8, 2008 - Central Ohio Tea Party

I should have dedicated the little iced tea poll I did yesterday to home inspector Jimmy Braezele ... not familiar with Jimmy? That's because he's in Mississippi... although due to the licenselessness state of Ohio Home Inspector, Jimmy has ~~threatened~~ I mean offered to come do home inspections in Columbus Ohio.

In What's Cooking America - Iced Tea History by Linda Stradley wrote:

"There are two traditional iced teas in the United States. The only variation between them is sugar.

Southerners swear by their traditional sweet ice tea and drink it by the gallons. In the South, ice tea is not just a summertime drink, it is served year round with most meals. When people order tea in a Southern restaurant, chances are they will get sweet ice tea.

Outside of the southern states, iced tea is served unsweetened or “black,” and most people have never even heard of sweet tea."

Columbus do you like "sweet tea" or ... what do you call iced tea that is not sweet? Iced tea? "unsweetened"? black tea?

Vote for your tea choice if you are in Central Ohio... please resist the urge to vote if you are not in Central Ohio... maybe local restaurants know which is more popular in Columbus iced tea or "sweet tea."

Jimmy Breazele moderates a group called "Suthern Thangs" on ActiveRain.com a network for the real estate industry. Reading "Suthern Thangs" on ActiveRain.com made me think of tea and "sweet tea."

I'd love to hear from you if you have a comment on the topic of iced tea in Central Ohio. All comments are moderated so you will not see your comment immediately. Thanks. Copyright 2008 Discover Columbus and Maureen McCabe
