That's one of the reasons I never understood Sandra Lee's show on Food Network. Not only was she a gaping moron, despite having "invented" an oversized set of six-pack rings that you could thread a bedsheet through to make a swag, she never really "cooked." She took a lot of packaged foods and threw them together.

I think it is like autocondimentation.

No matter how much salt and pepper is on the food already, some people will always add more themselves. I think it is either personalising their meal, or having the feeling of participating in making the food.

You can make lemonade with lemon juice, water and sugar here. I do it sometimes in the summer because it's more refreshing when you put a bit less sugar in it (imo).

But yes, lemonade for the most part here is simply carbonated sweetened water. There are a few brands that call themselves 'traditional' lemonade and they do have some lemon content, but no, mostly there's not a lemon to be seen. It's just like 7-up or sprite.

Yeah, same here Ali. 'Lemonade' is usually just a clear fizzy drink. But there are also 'traditional' lemonades and 'cloudy' lemonades. Both of which are more like homemade lemonade but with the addition of fizz.

Lemonade = fizzy.


[eta] ahh...according to wiki:

The term "lemonade" has a variety of meanings, differing by region.

In the UK, the suffix '-ade' means a 'carbonated sweet soft drink'; hence limeade, orangeade, cherryade, etc

I had just always assumed that is what 'ade' indicated. Didn't realise it was Brit specific. Presumably then you guys would say 'lime soda' or 'cherry soda' then? All these years I thought 'Gatorade' was a fizzy drink because of the '-ade' suffix. When actually the 'ade' was referring to lemonade.

American-style lemonade exists in the UK as a "homemade" juice (also called lemonade), but is only rarely sold commercially under that name. A carbonated version is commonly sold commercially as "cloudy" or "traditional" lemonade. There are also similar uncarbonated products, lemon squash and lemon barley water, both of which are usually sold as a syrup which is diluted to taste

Meanwhile on the other side of the globe:

In Australia and New Zealand, lemonade can also refer to any clear, carbonated soft drink with a primarily lemon flavor; e.g. a lemon-lime soft drink, such as Sprite. Culturally however, with a drink such as Sprite, the flavor is not recognised as "lemon-lime", but just plain "lemonade", although it is still the same flavor as its international counterpart. Other colored (and flavored) soft drinks are sometimes referred to by their color such as "red lemonade" or "green lemonade", implying that "lemonade" is the clear version of its "flavored" counterparts.

Lemonade is made from lemons.

Homemade is made from homems.

It is past my bed time.

When you're making homemade lemonade in the summer, try adding the tiniest bit of salt ... a little electrolytes go a long way.

Gatorade is an electrolyte and fluid replacer ... when it starts tasting bad you don't need it any more. When it tastes good, you do.

"ade" in the US means that it's a fruit juice with water and sugar added. No fizz.

Fizzy things are soda, pop, sodapop, whatever the regional name is.
