In the South East, they bring you sweetened (usually far too sweetened for my tastes) iced tea. This is amazingly universal.

I live in NC and have been probing the border for years.

For "nicer" restaurants, the universal sweet tea boundary seems to be precisely at the NC/VA border.

A nice hot cup of char with a separate little jug of milk and sugar to taste. Oh, and a little spoon. Lovely

I'm guessing auto correct got you on your cup of "char". Either that or you very sarcastically don't like chai.

Oh no old bean, no autocorrect involved...we call it char round here

[–] pjhenry1216@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Ah... that's... interesting. Is there a reason why? And where is that? Cause I don't think I'd ever connect the two. Like, if someone offered me a cup of char, I'd probably think coffee before tea. Cause one is at least significantly roasted.

I suppose I could see char being an apt description (which I'm curious if that is what the other commenter was referencing). While I wouldn't say it's roasted, the flavor itself could convey that flavor I guess. Being roasted isn't the only way to get a smokey flavor, which I think is one of the main flavors I associate with the word "char". That or charcoal.

Let's not read too much into my dumb joke.
