heavens, MamaTexan, isn't that the truth.
Now, the pot of chili I made last weekend included black beans, tomatoes, and...and...and mushrooms. Horrors! I'll vary my chili recipe, but will not succumb to sweet barbecue sauce, or sweet potato salad or sweet slaw, or sweet mayonaise.
Only sweet ice tea!
Sweet Tea is all you need. Although I do have to admit that some Sweet Corn does set off a good plate of Ribs, collard's, and mashed taters nicely.
Ew - I Hate sweet slaw & tater salad too!
OR sweet cornbread! Ugh.
That's the great thing about barbecue or chili. They leave lots of room for individual tastes AND individual 'moods'.

I like all those foods like I do my accents...thick and SWEET!

I grew up drinking tea that way, but after spending a few years out of state, I got to where I like it unsweetened better.
My Mom had more fun pickin' on me about my 'Yankeefied' taste in tea.
