I mostly like these.

The Sandwich Alignment Chart is good because there are some things that might count as sandwiches in various columns:

Yeah, maybe an ice cream sandwich is a sandwich even though it doesn't use any kinds of sandwich ingredients. Maybe a chicken wrap is a sandwich even though it's tube shaped -- it does use standard sandwich ingredients. And, once you accept those, then maybe a pop-tart is a sandwich.

But, for these to work, the cells that are one step away from the pure definition need to be somewhat reasonable, and I don't know anybody who thinks that coffee is a form of tea. Also, pho doesn't meet the preparation purist definition -- you're not boiling beef to extract its flavour. Miso soup also doesn't meet its definitions, miso broth maybe...

Ignoring the "powder" part of the preparation neutral:

| | Ingredient Purist | Ingredient Neutral | Ingredient Rebel | |

|

|

|

| | Preparation Purist | Black tea is tea | Herbal tea is tea | Chicken broth is tea | | Preparation Neutral | Matcha is tea | Hot chocolate is tea | Clam chowder is tea | | Preparation Rebel | Arizona Iced Tea is tea | A bowl of Captain Crunch is tea | Saturn is tea |

By the definitions on this very chart, traditional black tea should be "ingredient purist, preparation rebel" (you don't boil tea)

Have you ever tried to understand a simple thing and come out far less intelligent than before. Things like this convince me that the tombs of pharoahs are full of inside jokes we're all missing.

"Clogged gutter" works fantastic as a cocktail name

You could do this with cider.

e.g. cider is cider, apple juice is cider, perry is cider…

This is like the Cube Rule, and I’m totally here for it. We need a more advanced liquids guide, though.

Two Words: Worm Tea

It's got what plants crave!

All tea tastes like a clogged gutter.
