I have questions about the question. So many questions.
When you heard that did you immediately rush the kitchen, like a proper antifroth soldier would?One came back and said the kitchen could not prepare them without the whipped topping! It couldn't be done. They said that out loud.
You would have loved Mrs Quandry's decade long battle to get a hot cup of tea in the American Southeast.Yes that white gooky stuff is okay to cook with when butter is not available. But it is not for the eating. Throw a bit of fruit and cinnamons in the skillet for a few minutes to top those cakes. Sometimes I like to go to iHOP and order pancakes without the whipped topping because blech. The looks I get are picture worthy.

Oh no I'm adept at scrapping the nasty stuff to the side. One can also leave a thin wavy piece of cheesecake where that awful red, supposedly cherry flavored, syrup has been drizzled. Sweets are often set aside anyway because I cannot consume most of the artificial varieties.When you heard that did you immediately rush the kitchen, like a proper antifroth soldier would?
Yes we must visit a proper tearoom or Asian establishment to enjoy a cup of hot tea. Most restaurants do have plain iced tea now. Some holdouts still only serve sweetened tea (read bug-worthy sugar water with a bit of tea thrown in) but they are few and far between these days.You would have loved Mrs Quandry's decade long battle to get a hot cup of tea in the American Southeast.
Around those parts, tea is only served iced, and made with a diabetes-inducing amount of sugar.You would have loved Mrs Quandry's decade long battle to get a hot cup of tea in the American Southeast.
AS THE GOOD LORD INTENDED!!Around those parts, tea is only served iced, and made with a diabetes-inducing amount of sugar.
Illinois does both, depending on the season, because we're not BarbariansAround those parts, tea is only served iced, and made with a diabetes-inducing amount of sugar.

I've ordered ham salad sandwiches before, but never ham* sandwich salad sandwiches. A bit too much mayo for me, but it looks tasty.
That actually looks yummy!What? That’s ridiculous!
Might as well put the whole thing in a blender and ”eat“ it with a straw.
(I’ll have two, please)

I see chicken. I see lettuce. I see a slice of onion. I see a wedge of a tomato. What's the problem?
Vegetables, in my experience, rarely cause controversy. Yet last month I found myself in the middle of a legal storm over who gets to own the word sabzi – the Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi, Persian, Dari and Pashto word for cooked veg or fresh greens. It was a story as absurd as it was stressful, a chain of delis threatened me with legal action over the title of a book I had spent years creating. But what began as a personal legal headache soon morphed into something bigger, a story about how power and privilege still dominate conversations about cultural ownership in the UK.
When the email first landed in my inbox, I assumed it must be a wind-up. My editor at Bloomsbury had forwarded a solicitor’s letter addressed to me personally, care of my publishers. As I read it, my stomach dropped. A deli owner from Cornwall accused me of infringing her intellectual property over my cookbook Sabzi: Fresh Vegetarian Recipes for Every Day. Why? Because in 2022, she had trademarked the word sabzi to use for her business and any future products, including a cookbook she hoped to write one day.
