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...
