Hi everyone,

I have been traveling extensively around the country over the last 5 years and at least 6 times a year I make it to the Carolinas.
Something I have become fond of, and which few people outside the south know of, is "sweet tea." I look forward to it when I know I
have a trip to North or South Carolina planned.

It is such a local favorite that you can buy it at fast food restaurants such as McDonalds and Taco Bell...and at my new favorite
place to stop for lunch or dinner when traveling, Smithfield's.

For those not familiar with Sweet Tea, I give you the following from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweet_tea

>>
Sweet tea has long been a staple beverage in the Southern United States; most family-style and fast food restaurants in the region
offer the customer a choice of sweet tea or unsweetened iced tea. It is a signature drink of the region, to the point where the
Southern use of the word "tea" is largely used to refer specifically to cold, sweet tea and not to hot or unsweet varieties. Its
widespread use is probably due to its light taste, ease of preparation and low cost...

You folks are making me homesick -- for what I remember as a glassful of sugar diluted with a tiny bit of tea. -:)

I'm with you on the sweet tea, Saul. We try to get to Myrtle Beach at
least once a year (we love to golf!) and being able to get sweet tea
everywhere is such a treat. We've recently found a few places in
Northern Virginia that offer sweet tea, but it's not quite the same
(not sweet enough?). Can't wait for our next trip to Myrtle!

Sweet Tea is giving Coke and Pepsi a run in our little resort community. You can buy it by the gallon in the summer for drinking while toobing down the Comal or Guadalupe Rivers here in town. (New Braunfels, Tx) But call it by what it really is: Glucose with Caffeine

My wife makes the best sweet tea ever. She is asked to provide it at all of the church fellowship dinners and activities. They mark her tea and people ask for it by name. Her tea is requested at wedding receptions and cook outs. I have a hard time drinking other sweet teas after being hooked on "Birdie Tea"
