Hmmmm, so Irish soda bread is the same as American 'biscuits'.... I've seen them on my visits to the USA - but have never tried them, as the American juxtapositioning of sweet and savoury doesn't really appeal to my tastebuds!!!! Now it turns out they are savoury, after all

Sweet tea is iced tea that has a large amount of sugar added....( normally while still hot or brewing) It is then poured over ice. It is a very popular beverage in the southern states. Sometimes lemon is added as well. Always good on those hot summer days. Some people will even do a half and half, Half sweet tea, half lemonade....

There is a place in Pigeon Forge, Tennesse ( outside Gatlinburg) Called the Log cabin Inn.( I have been going to that area of the Smoky Mountains since I was a kid.) It has the best sweet tea ever! I have not been able to get the ratio correct. Drives me nuts! My lady friend that works there, won't give me the recipe either!!! She has worked there since I was about 13. She knew who I was all grown up years later. It was neat! Great lady! Did I mention the peach cobbler??? OOOoooo .. I have brought whole cobblers home. Yes, 300 miles bringing a cobbler home.... LOL! Normally in November for Thanksgiving....
When my husband and I go out to eat, he always orders iced tea with his dinner. The sweeter, the better he likes it. Although I'm not much of an iced tea drinker I do like hot tea.
Yes, nothing like a hot buttermilk biscuit out of the oven slathered with butter and honey or jam. In the afternoon cold biscuits and a big fat home grown tomato. Biscuits and mustard, anyone. Biscuits are good with just about anything. OHH...Yummy!!!!!! I'm gonna have to whip up a batch, I do believe!
Jason - I love Gatlinburg. We are planning a trip to Great SMoly Mountains National Park.
How I make sweet tea:
Get a medium sized pan and fill about 1/2 - 2/3 full of water. Bring to a boil Let about 7 teabags (luzianne) steep for about 3-5 minutes pour in a pitcher (about 2 quarts) throw in about 3/4c of sugar stir fill the pitcher the rest of the way with water. Pour over ice on a glass
MMMMMMM
Mint in iced tea is really good too, but it is kind of an acquired taste. Sometimes, I will get a bag of friuty herbal tea and add that in with the other teabags. Peach and Raspberry are really good.
You make your tea like I do, only I use only Lipton Tea. Hold the lemon please!
Garden fresh tomatoes are great! I like to pick a large green tomato straight off the vine, cut it into thick slices, dip the slices in flour, then fry them in a skillet until they are brown and crispy...
eat it with hot buttermilk biscuits, wash it down with a pitcher of iced tea.....
then maybe sit back and have a slice of sweet sugar baby watermelon thats been iced down in the cooler overnight for dessert!
Ah - HA! Just goes to prove that the way to a man's heart really is through his stomache!
How about a sweet and tart southern style lemon merangue pie, with a crisp flaky crust underneath and a filling made from fresh squeezed lemons with the lemon pulp left in, with mile high fluffy merangue piled on top? Not the store bought bakery junk - the real deal!!!
