Iced tea is just wrong on so many levels and it is like saying to me "here have this nice tea chocolate"

Love Iced Tea and I make my own - special little recipe from a chef friend! Luverly stuff! Iced Coffee once in a while - not a big coffee drinker - one cup a day is about it for me. As far as hot tea goes, I prefer a Ceylon tea, Darjeeling (with milk), Chinese green, jasmine or almond tea and Earl Grey, no milk. I like a slice of lemon with a bit of honey in the Earl Grey but no never, never milk.
What's the big deal about milk in a "bag"? We've had 'sachets' of milk for ages - it's a few cents cheaper than the cartons or bottles. But we call them 'sachets' because we're posh in South Africa!

I hate cold tea, if you going to ice something then it must be coffeeIced coffee? That's do wrong on many levels. Hot tea? See my coffee comment.
I've got to admit, I'm breaking the law of the South, I drink my tea straight (no sugar) and Texas Pecan Coffee sweet, Community Coffee (Louisiana coffee) straight. Around here you don't order Ice Tea, just Tea since there is only one proper way to serve it.
Green Tea can be either hot or ice cold, I like it both ways.

Milk in bags is used all over the U.S. in the restaurant biz. Comes in a 2.5 or 5 gallon bag. If you have ever eaten at a Waffle House or Denny's and had milk....it was from a bag. Just FYI

I'd bet there are parts of the Southern US where drinking iced coffee would fall under the legal heading of justifiable homicide!

Yeah...Paula also has about the fakest Southern accent EVER!!!
That IS Southern cooking though. It may not be good fer ya, but you die with a smile on your face
AJ, you are right on both counts.
Love those fried green tomatoes. That is one of my specialties.
Ocra is properly spelled okra.
I love it pan fried in a cast iron skillet - not deep fried like you get in restaurants. I also love it boiled and pickled.That gravy is an American tradition. Love sausage gravy, sawmill gravy or red eye gravy on biscuits. I grew up on southern and Native American cooking.
Carl, you need to post your Fried Green Tomato recipe - it's a real winner! It's the corn meal/flour that does it!
My tomato crop is looking sooooo good at the moment! Waiting for them to be just right and they're getting fried!

Glad you have got a good crop coming. This thread has made me hungry for fried green tomatoes. I will have to fry up a batch this weekend. The recipe is not exact. I just add things until it feels right.
Fried Green Tomatoes
Green tomatoes. They need to be firm.
Cornmeal
Flour
Eggs
Salt
Black Pepper
Prepare the batter. Break two or three eggs in a bowl - depending on how much batter you need. Add three parts cornmeal and two parts flour to the bowl. Add water until you get a good paste that will stick to the slices. Add a touch of salt and a generous portion of pepper. Mix thoroughly. You can use more or less cornmeal depending on your taste. The cornmeal gives a good flavor.
Slice the tomatoes and put the slices in the batter.
Pour about 1/2 inch of peanut oil into a cast iron skillet and heat the skillet on medium high. Drop the breaded slices into the skillet. Fry the slices until both sides are golden brown.
Enjoy!

I have to tell everyone to try this! Carl's recipe is just the best! And now I've got a hankering!
Yes sir, that's a good batter for the 'maters, same as I use most of the time. I don't always use the flour, sometimes just a dusting of the cornmeal.

Sometimes I don't use flour either - just the eggs and the cornmeal. the eggs help the cornmeal stick.
Now I 'm hungry.........again.
