Comments on: 7 Catt. 1: In re Lemongrass http://supremecart.org/2012/03/07/6-catt-5-in-re-lemongrass-truck/ Tue, 09 Jun 2015 04:04:59 +0000 hourly 1 By: tomaj http://supremecart.org/2012/03/07/6-catt-5-in-re-lemongrass-truck/#comment-10527 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 20:09:35 +0000 http://supremecart.org/?p=836#comment-10527 Point of order: Even though Lemongrass truck describes one of their bubble tea flavors as “Thai tea”, the unfortunate header you choose above for section IV was “Thai Bubble Tea”, which may mislead the casual reader to conclude that the entire concept of bubble tea is of Thailand origin.

Au contraire. Bubble tea is from Taiwan, where it can be found on most corners, in many flavors. I have never seen it in Thailand or Vietnam. Lemongrass’s offerings include Thai ice tea flavor, along with green tea and coffee. (Which would lead to the unfortunate phrase “Coffee bubble tea”. The assemblage shivers.)

I would expect that the Cart, who spends much of each session discussing in detail whether something qualifies as street food (including bubble tea, which is a street drink) would want to be correct on this.
