I tend to use sugar only in desserts and generally avoid sweet
condiments like
catsup. I don't sweeten my iced tea, either, although I did when I was

a kid.

It's unusual to find sweet tea in Michigan. The only place I can think
of
that has it is Hooters.

I prefer a hybrid cornbread. Tall and fluffy, but not sweetened. The
bane
of my restaurant-going experience is sugar. Sweet spaghetti sauce.
Sweet
bread. Sweetened butter. Bleah.
