    So basically tea is just a "Hot Leaf Juice".

    Iroh: How can a member of my own family say something so horrible?

    You don't boil salad in water. So, no.

    Tea is a low-entropy saladoid with soupiness = 1

    Technically it's lower because of the brothiness. There was a peer reviewed paper published the the America Journal of Culinary Science in 2019 that redefined soupiness as a ratio of brothiness to chunkiness over tastiness ( ∆S=B:C/T).

    However the T variable for tea depends on quantum superposition based on a wider range of subjective variables, so tea's soupiness is S=1:0/T.

    Good time to drop an educational reminder that tea isn’t just leaves in hot water but an actual plant. The tea plant, or Camellia sinensis.

    A lot of the things that get labeled as “tea” are not actually tea.

    Salad must contain salt, that's what the sal part means.

    Really? Because we don't call our vegetable because of it's saltiness

    Salad comes from Latin. Sal- (as in saline) is the root word, meaning salted. A salad is chopped veggies with oil and salt. Today we generally used a Mayo or vinaigrettete style dressing, containing salt, oil, and usually an acid as well.

    Tea is far superior to coffee. I'm kind of pissed that as an American we lost our ability to be tea drinkers culturally

    literally on assumption 2 they're already wrong a typical AMERICAN english speaker would but everyone else would call tuna salad tuna mayo and pasta salad well we don't really eat that that nuch but if it had hot dogs we'd call it hot dog pasta I'm not sure what to call it if it's just peppers and pasta and sauce I think then creme fraiche pasta cause we'd use creme fraiche not salad cream and taco salad is just taco filling so no by assumption 2 they're already completely wrong pizza is by no means a salad a salad is predominantly vegetables or at the very least fruit
