Also... I'm an American. We throw our tea into the harbor. It's just part of us.

I  debated mentioning that after the British Empire remark from Sweetpea.

I know of a girl - she once replied to this guy I know 'I don't like coffee or tea, they taste like favored water.'

that was a waste of good tea and no self respecting Brit would ever encourage that although incidentally, coffee was the drink of choice in Britain until tea came along....

zing!

I like both, but indulge in coffee, tea is mainly when I'm feeling sick or if I've had two pots of coffee and still need something warm ter drink.

Coffee and tea both suck ass.  You might as well argue about what kind of dirt tastes best with toast.

I find that soil rich in humus and a touch of peat tastes best.

All right, I’ve been thinking, when life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man whose gonna burn your house down – with the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

Toast is bland and requires good ol fat to make it palatable.
Mmm butter fat XD

Anyway, why would you go and burn a perfectly good piece of bread? :(
Poor bread. It wanted to live!

Tea, obviously.

I can drink coffee, but even the best coffee doesn't really measure up to even mediocre tea, to say nothing of the vast difference to something like PG Tips.

American stereotypes indeed.  *snort*

Good bread is hard to find, period.  It can surprisingly hard to find good bread no matter where you go.  I mean, French Baguettes can be one of the most basic "breads" that you see, but most bakeries can't even make a decent one.
