I'm from the midwest and my recollection growing up is when asking for tea in a restaurant, it came sweetened or unsweetened.  A glass of sweetened tea had the equivalent of a packet or tsp of sugar (or sugar substitute) in it and was not "Sweet Tea".  I only heard of sweet tea when we traveled to Florida and then it was loaded down with sugar.  I'm starting to see it more in restaurants here in the midwest now.  

 

I started watching Brenda Gantt and a few other southern women on Facebook around this time last year.  The first time she made "Creamed Potatoes", I was excited to learn about it but it was just regular (what we call) mashed potatoes.

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, but Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.
