I am at about 78 of the list but had to stop to ask "the difference between American and Canadian Iced tea!!?" Really? Sugar sugar sugar. I drink as much as I can when I am back home.
You've had bumbleberry pie - that's the pie I make when I only have a little bit of apples, rhubarb and whatever berries left. Maybe Canadian Iced Tea is made without the liquor? New york/Long Island Iced Tea has booze in it (at least up here it does)
Love & Hugs
Sugar and lemon is the difference, a lot of places in the states when you ask for iced tea, that is precisly what you get cold iced plain orange pekoe tea. Jaimes
Thank you! This is a really neat list. It may take me all weekend to get through it, but I'm going to try it.
Some of my favourite foods are on this list!
I miss Creton!!! I used to get it in Maine, can't find it whenever I visit!
