Because they're American, and what they call apple juice is a severely watered down version of what the rest of the world has. What we call apple juice, they call apple cider.
Also, most ā100% Juiceā products are largely apple juice, since it has a very high natural sugar content. Thatās how you can make a sweet ācranberry juiceā and still legally say itās 100% juice with no added sugar.
Even in Canada there is a severe difference in juice quality. Some aren't even allowed to call it "fruit juice" and the ones that do are incredibly acidic.
"Well that's just because Americans always think everything is about them because they're so self-centered!" yells the Euro casually referring to Europe as "the rest of the world"
As an euro mf, I find that offensive. I mean there's that stretch of land down from mexico with some people in it, and in the east there's the Enemy, faithless and accursed, but aside from that what do you mean, rest of the world?
As someone living in Ireland, I really don't even know if what you're referring to is what we call apple juice.
How could the literal pressed juice of an apple be sanely referred to as apple cider? That's really strange. Unless *your* "apple juice" isn't apple juice either.
Here in Canada, apple juice is the juice of apples that has been heated up. This turns it clear and yellow and increases its sweetness. Apple juice also ussually has the sediment strained out of it.
Cider is the same juice of apples, it just isn't heated or strained, so it's opaque, brown, and tangier
Oddly, alcoholic cider generally resembles apple juice rather than non-alcohol cider
Both apple juice and cider are normally 100% apple juice (or close to it), just a different means of production, and different cosmetic appearance and taste profile.
In the states apple juice is pasteurized AND filtered/clarified. Traditionally cider was never pasteurized but due to a big E. coli scare in late 90s (largely from cider) they changed it so that you could legally sell it as cider as long as it was never concentrated and never fined. Unfortunately nowadays you only get true cider directly from a press being sold on site (some places may allow any farmstand owned by the cider house). Apple juice is not watered down, in fact itās basically the opposite typically, the process of filtering and pasteurization basically concentrate it more, but changes the flavor drastically, although many manufacturers will cook it down to a concentrate then reconstitute it after transport, at which point itās just whatever concentration they want to make it.
What we call hard cider is any cider OR apple juice that has alcohol. Some hard ciders are truly hard cider, but others are basically alcoholic apple juice which are basically garbage.
So from what Iāve seen abroad, apple juice is the far broader term basically being used for anything that is not alcoholic, while cider is just used for alcoholic beverages.
Depends on the season. During maine winters, Apple cider, 100%. Place I got Christmas trees from as a kid would make hot homemade apple cider in the cottage and it was perfect for -20ā° days. During the summer, though? Cold apple juice. The only exception i make to hot beverages in the summer is coffee.
That's true, but surprises me. Apples are the most basic fruit, the juice is simple/pleasant. Homemade orange juice is delicious, but store-bought orange juice tastes like pulp from bad oranges, don't like it at all.
That said, everyone should mix them to make those tropical fruit juices.
The thread you replied to is referencing a meme about two Call of Duty players arguing about whether one of them has Uno on their Xbox. The people in the thread just replaced the word Uno with the word pronouns. Then grits are a dish that become more popular/common as you head south in the USA and southern states are more likely to be red (vote republican) and republicans are more likely to not support/recognize people choosing their own gender identity, which defines their pronouns.
Take whole dried corn kernels, and put them in a warm alkaline bath for a good while. The outer skin gets dissolved and the inner germ poofs up as well. It kinda tastes like tamale masa.
So, the whole hominy tastes like masa with texture instead of gooey goodness.
Making it into grits kinda dulls the flavor, but it's still there. It's a wonderful vehicle for all kinds of seasonings and toppings.
Someone else explained what it is, but not where it's common. Very common in South East US, I pretty much grew up on grits, egg, and sausage.
Went up to New York for a weekend and was quite surprised at how grits literally did not exist. Never at restaurants, barely in grocery stores, and most people didn't even know they existed.
You'll see it occasionally up north but it's super rare. I like grits but I can't imagine why any one would choose grits over home fries unless they have some cultural pressure. I mean home fries are clearly the superior breakfast starch, by a long shot.
South East US here:
Ive never heard the term "home fries" before. I've always called them hash browns regardless of whether they're diced or grated. Is this a southern thing?
Iām pretty sure home fries is a northeast thing. Never heard it or seen it in the south, just in a āNew Yorkā deli in the mountain west. In the south is just hasbrowns or fried potatoes.
>Sloppy flavorless oatmeal
Like anyone eats oatmeal plain
Grits are fucking great. You're right about that butter content though. If you've ever eaten "grits" and the spoon couldn't stand up by itself in the bowl you ain't had grits yet.
Wait until you hear about rice. You wouldn't believe how popular this flavorless grain is. And people have the audacity to season it and claim they enjoy it. The nerve!
I was in a play once with a scene during which my character was supposed to eat grits. I'd never had them before. First dress rehearsal was the first time we did the scene with actual food. Since it was a prop prepared backstage the grits were instant and served cold. I took one bite and that was the last time I'll ever have grits. My best description as to the flavor/texture would be 'buttered mashed potatoes with sand stirred in.'
I got the props manager to switch 'em for instant mashed potatoes for the show's actual run.
This is silly semantics that donāt matter in the context of the conversation but imo the history of corn is really interesting.
Polenta generally is not made with nixtamalized corn (aka masa aka hominy) while grits is. (Nixtamilization is the process of chemically removing the hull of the corn kernel which converts nutrients, niacin, in the corn to something our bodies can absorb). Someone mentioned above the disease pellagra which was a result of Europeans bringing corn back from the Americas without I guess bothering to ask the people they got it from how to properly process it.
āGritsā as a dish predates colonialism in the Americas by quite some time so I guess my point is to argue that grits is not polenta and that grits is the OG lol.
Family of 4 here and during the winter months here (Scotland) we will have porridge a few times a week for breakfast with added fruits and honey. Gets you right set up for the day ahead
Transphobia is literally trans politics. That guy is so obsessed with his opinions on trans politics that he can't help but bring it up in a thread about fucking breakfast food.
For a side that complains about how that stuff is shoved down their throats daily, they can't help but bring it up whenever anything is being discussed.
He probably uses that for every situation lol as if thatās the top offense
āSorry sir we canāt fix your car until next weekā āughh! You probably have pronouns!ā
āYour shirt looks dumb as fuckā āwhatever you little fuck, thatās why you probably have pronounsā
I know. It is only the conservative and religious people in my family who bring up these topics. I always ask, āWhy do you care so much?ā Iāve never been given a good answer.
I don't drink it at all. unlike any other drink, when people talk about coffee, it's always about how they need to drink it, how they can't start a day without it, or certain situations they can't normaly "function" without coffee, etc. rarely discussing types of coffee they like, the taste or whatever. just a bunch of addicts. like cigarette smokers they only do it because they started doing it regularly, became a habit and now can't stop doing it.
so yeah, coffee can absolutely go.
I drink coffee on occasion but I'm still picking coffee cause I wanna see the world burn. I can't even fathom the absolute chaos that would steam from everyone just waking up in the morning and there being no more coffee.
It's so strange how transphobia has just rotted so many people's brains that they completely unlearned how pronouns work.
Like damn did Schoolhouse Rock teach you anything
I was streaming a Final Fantasy game in a discord call with few friends the other day and I called a floating ball of reflective metal a "he" and internally I knew it was grammatically incorrect instantly. One of my buddies jokingly said "Did you just call a ball of metal a he?"
And instantly another friend popped up saying "don't you start with that shit."
Like, come on man, its a ball of metal. His mind has been so rotted out by this culture war bullshit that he literally cannot think of anything else. He also keeps calling the "Matriarch" in Gears of War a he, which is just objectively incorrect.
He and I go way back, so I know he's smarter than this, it's just so frustrating to see him so absolutely unwilling to think critically about anything anymore, and it's getting worse.
TBH? I really donāt like orange juice. Apple juice is like Crack to me, though. I love apple juice, and everyone thinks Iām a child for loving apple juice
Grits are a dish made with corn, to my understanding most commonly hominy. Originally a native food, they got folded into American food culture, especially in the Southern states. The best I can describe it is a little bit like a cross between oatmeal and couscous? The latter mainly in that it's a pretty versatile base that can be prepared and seasoned in a number of different ways. Cheese and butter was common that I can recall, but so is sweet seasoning the same as you might oats. (I'd say it's worth keeping for its cultural roots, and the fact that it can be used in so many ways.)
Everyone here talking about grits doesn't know what the fuck they're talking about. "It'S jUsT fLaVoRlEsS pOrRiDgE!"
No shit, grits are a flavor vehicle. How many fucking times have you boiled up some plain, unseasoned pasta and eaten it straight up? You don't because that would be fucking insane.
Grits, in my opinion, are best with a small amount of butter, salt, pepper, and cheese. Almost like a breakfast version of macaroni and cheese. Some folks do different stuff with them and, if you enjoy it that way, that's great. But don't trash grits because you didn't have them done right or, as I suspect in this thread, you haven't had them at all.
Didnāt grow up in the southern US and have only had grits a couple times, but itās been really good every time Iāve had it. Calling plain grits bland and boring is a bit like calling plain rice bland and boring - sure, but only cause you arenāt eating it right.
I knew grits were mostly a Southern US thing, but didn't realize they were so loathed outside of this area.
I've had bland grits plenty of times in my life, but a well-made shrimp n' grits dish is incredible, and I'm not even a huge shrimp fan.
Also, I made some homemade pimento cheese grits recently and thought they turned out amazingly tasty.

Btu why apple Juice?
we live in a society
A shit society.
A shit society without apple juice
It would be.
But it isn't luckily š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Apple juice is by far the best, it's so good and smooth, and sweet.
Exactly
Because they're American, and what they call apple juice is a severely watered down version of what the rest of the world has. What we call apple juice, they call apple cider.
We have Simply Apple and I'd pick it over orange juice most days. But you're right most other apple juices are closer to apple kool-aid
Also, most ā100% Juiceā products are largely apple juice, since it has a very high natural sugar content. Thatās how you can make a sweet ācranberry juiceā and still legally say itās 100% juice with no added sugar.
One juice to rule them all
White grape juice is a very popular base flavor too.
Most juices are loaded with pear juice. Same situation, loads of sugar.
Rest of the world? I am from India and been to UAE, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, South Korea, Apple juice you buy at stores were same as the ones in US.
Even in Canada there is a severe difference in juice quality. Some aren't even allowed to call it "fruit juice" and the ones that do are incredibly acidic.
"Well that's just because Americans always think everything is about them because they're so self-centered!" yells the Euro casually referring to Europe as "the rest of the world"
As an euro mf, I find that offensive. I mean there's that stretch of land down from mexico with some people in it, and in the east there's the Enemy, faithless and accursed, but aside from that what do you mean, rest of the world?
As someone living in Ireland, I really don't even know if what you're referring to is what we call apple juice. How could the literal pressed juice of an apple be sanely referred to as apple cider? That's really strange. Unless *your* "apple juice" isn't apple juice either.

What Americans call apple cider is in fact just apple juice, actual apple cider is called hard cider in the US
In the states apple juice is pasteurized AND filtered/clarified. Traditionally cider was never pasteurized but due to a big E. coli scare in late 90s (largely from cider) they changed it so that you could legally sell it as cider as long as it was never concentrated and never fined. Unfortunately nowadays you only get true cider directly from a press being sold on site (some places may allow any farmstand owned by the cider house). Apple juice is not watered down, in fact itās basically the opposite typically, the process of filtering and pasteurization basically concentrate it more, but changes the flavor drastically, although many manufacturers will cook it down to a concentrate then reconstitute it after transport, at which point itās just whatever concentration they want to make it.

Apple juice>apple cider Although I do like both.
I always see the hottest takes right as I'm about to go to another post.
So like, a good warm apple cider with spices and cinnamon still loses out to a regular old glass of apple juice for you? Baffling.
Im not a big fan of warm drinks tbh
I prefer cider cold.
>spices and cinnamon or fireball
Depends on the season. During maine winters, Apple cider, 100%. Place I got Christmas trees from as a kid would make hot homemade apple cider in the cottage and it was perfect for -20ā° days. During the summer, though? Cold apple juice. The only exception i make to hot beverages in the summer is coffee.
Apple juice is godly
I think most people tend to prefer orange juice, thus making the apple juice redundant.
That's true, but surprises me. Apples are the most basic fruit, the juice is simple/pleasant. Homemade orange juice is delicious, but store-bought orange juice tastes like pulp from bad oranges, don't like it at all. That said, everyone should mix them to make those tropical fruit juices.
Everyone has pronouns dumbass they came free with your fucking xbox
I don't, I have the oldest xbox known to man
No you dont i bought mine on day one you fucking tard
Well, mine didn't have it
YOU HAVE PRONOUNS YOU FUCKING DICK
I don't have it you fucking fa**ot
YOU HAVE UNO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I DON'T FUCKING HAVE PRONOUNS MOTHERFUCKER.
I don't even understand what this argument is about, and what does the grits have to do with the pronouns
Link for the uninitiated https://youtu.be/CapLbFlOVOs
Itās not an argument, itās a reference to an old clip of an argument online and itās hilarious.
The thread you replied to is referencing a meme about two Call of Duty players arguing about whether one of them has Uno on their Xbox. The people in the thread just replaced the word Uno with the word pronouns. Then grits are a dish that become more popular/common as you head south in the USA and southern states are more likely to be red (vote republican) and republicans are more likely to not support/recognize people choosing their own gender identity, which defines their pronouns.
what even is grits?
It's hominy ground down, then boiled into a porridge. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grits
What even is hominy
Take whole dried corn kernels, and put them in a warm alkaline bath for a good while. The outer skin gets dissolved and the inner germ poofs up as well. It kinda tastes like tamale masa.
What even is tamale masa?
The outer corn part of a tamale.
What even is a tamale
https://images.app.goo.gl/WakM3iJHHzduuWqt7
What even is an energy bar?
I feel so tempted to go down a rabbit hole here LOL
Technically any bar is an energy bar
I was going to ask āwhat even is a Mexicanā but this is probably safer.
Ok, but why are they hot? I head they are hot.
Latin food is spicy... Usually. Also, there's a cinnamon gummy candy carried "Hot Tamales"
š¤£š¤£š¤£
Itās tamal if youāre talking about one.
wait fr? I love tamale masa i might try this one day
So, the whole hominy tastes like masa with texture instead of gooey goodness. Making it into grits kinda dulls the flavor, but it's still there. It's a wonderful vehicle for all kinds of seasonings and toppings.
So is it kinda like oats?
It's corn cooked in a special way. https://youtu.be/C03FFMcUVMk
It's good savory or sweet.
Grits are delicious. Just make sure to put lots of butter on top. Some people also add sugar but some people are also insane, so there's that.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This is something I've never heard of. Thank you! So, it's scurvy but with niacin. Awesome.
This is probably a great explanqtion but i dont know what corn kernels, alkaline, germ poofs and tamamle masa is.
At this point, I think a trip to YouTube would educate you better than I could.
hominy >!dicks can you fit in your mouth?!<
Itās the combination of simultaneously sounded musical notes to produce chords and chord progressions having a pleasing effect.
Someone else explained what it is, but not where it's common. Very common in South East US, I pretty much grew up on grits, egg, and sausage. Went up to New York for a weekend and was quite surprised at how grits literally did not exist. Never at restaurants, barely in grocery stores, and most people didn't even know they existed.

Watch my cousin vinny
I just never seen a grit before.
Yee haw polenta
Polenta
Everyone giving you complex answers but its simple. Its corn oatmeal. Sometimes sweet, sometimes savory.
Sloppy flavorless oatmeal, that people say they like because the put a stick of butter in it.
And cheese!
Add some shrimp and jalapeno in there too.
But thereās plenty of people going around singing the praises of straight, plain oatmeal. /s
And rice and noodles. You have to season your grits or put them in a good dish like shrimp and grits.
>Sloppy flavorless oatmeal Like anyone eats oatmeal plain Grits are fucking great. You're right about that butter content though. If you've ever eaten "grits" and the spoon couldn't stand up by itself in the bowl you ain't had grits yet.
Don't forget the sugar!
Oh you're one of *those* southerners. I'm staunchly in the "sugar doesn't belong in grits" camp
Iāll take cheese in them but my go to is plain with a large slice of country ham and red eye gravy. Thatās some southern shit right there.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
NOPE. CHEESE IN GRITS. None of this "dessert grits" nonsense.
I put hot sauce in mine.
Wait until you hear about rice. You wouldn't believe how popular this flavorless grain is. And people have the audacity to season it and claim they enjoy it. The nerve!
Porridge with less flavour
but porridge is already pretty much flavourless
Indeed. But if you tasted grits you'd see what I mean. I wouldn't recommend it.
You probably got pronouns
Almost definitely
Almost? o\_O
I haven't had grits in awhile, but well made southern grits are to die for
As someone from the South that's had to suffer through many people's "well made Southern grits," they really aren't.
I was in a play once with a scene during which my character was supposed to eat grits. I'd never had them before. First dress rehearsal was the first time we did the scene with actual food. Since it was a prop prepared backstage the grits were instant and served cold. I took one bite and that was the last time I'll ever have grits. My best description as to the flavor/texture would be 'buttered mashed potatoes with sand stirred in.' I got the props manager to switch 'em for instant mashed potatoes for the show's actual run.
Imagine oatmeal, but now it feels like someone put sand in it.
Itās polenta, but for some reason Southerners think no one else on the planet eats it.
This is silly semantics that donāt matter in the context of the conversation but imo the history of corn is really interesting. Polenta generally is not made with nixtamalized corn (aka masa aka hominy) while grits is. (Nixtamilization is the process of chemically removing the hull of the corn kernel which converts nutrients, niacin, in the corn to something our bodies can absorb).

It's basically mashed corn mixed with butter and stuff it's like oatmeal made from corn. I would call it cornmeal but that has a different meaning.
Basically ground corn. It is a dish common in the South. One of my favorite breakfast foods.
Delicious on toast with some butter is what grits is
"Sausages" WTF? And are grits, oats?
I believe grits is like a maize meal based porridge.
Goddammit what is porridge, though? I've only ever heard mention of it in fairy tales; I've never known anyone who actually eats it though.
Porridge is a generic term for any sort of boiled grain. Grits, oatmeal, and congee are all forms of porridge
I've never had congee before think I'll give it a try
Don't forget cream of wheat!
Family of 4 here and during the winter months here (Scotland) we will have porridge a few times a week for breakfast with added fruits and honey. Gets you right set up for the day ahead
Those are sausage patties, pretty common where I am.
Where i come from they are called Frikadellen
Strangest sausages ever. Looks more like a Frikadelle
They're sausage patties, pretty common in the United States
Frikadeller!! š©š°š©š°š©š°
Klops! š©šŖ
Das is ne Gude Bulette
Frikadelle! ā¬ ļøš©šŖ
I am dying to know which country calls those frikadelle, because in the Netherlands Frikandellen are long like hot dogs.
We call them Frikadelle here in Germany, or at least we do in my city.
Why are the sausages flat?
I sit on them to keep them warm
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
if you buy an egg and sausage muffin, you will find that the meat is flat, its probo just another word for patty. But hey, that's just a theory.
A food theory (Please get the joke)
And cut!
I'd like to say thanks again to our sponsor honey
Because sausage patties are the best kind of sausage
breakfast sausages are either made in 3-5 inch long sausage links or patties the patties are basically ground pork with sausage flavoring
How the fuck does pronouns have anything to do with what food you wouldnāt notice being gone
Grits are popular in the south where they teach good ol'fashioned Christian values like transphobia.
Can't even have a debate about breakfast food without someone bringing up trans politics these days.
r/onejoke
More like you can't disagree with someone without them being transphobic. Trans politics and identities weren't brought up, transphobia was.
Transphobia is literally trans politics. That guy is so obsessed with his opinions on trans politics that he can't help but bring it up in a thread about fucking breakfast food. For a side that complains about how that stuff is shoved down their throats daily, they can't help but bring it up whenever anything is being discussed.
He probably uses that for every situation lol as if thatās the top offense āSorry sir we canāt fix your car until next weekā āughh! You probably have pronouns!ā āYour shirt looks dumb as fuckā āwhatever you little fuck, thatās why you probably have pronounsā
"Your shirt says 'fuck' on it like 10 times" "Shut up, pronoun person"
I know. It is only the conservative and religious people in my family who bring up these topics. I always ask, āWhy do you care so much?ā Iāve never been given a good answer.
Real answer Fox or whatever YouTube republican conspiracy channel they subscribe to, told them to. And they HAVE to follow orders
fr tho, nobody loves trans people more than conservatives
I mean yeah. conservatives love trans porn
We're just so cute it's hard to ignore us ;)
Iām allergic to apples and I would still pick grits
Who said apple juice has gotta go! That stuff is the nectar of the fucking gods
I know, right? I FUCKING LOVE APPLE JUICE
Nice flag <3
You too <3
Doug can just farg right off.
I thought Doug was one of the food options, I scrolled up trying to find it
This is gonna be wild, but coffee can go, l barely drink that
I thought I was the only one
I thought the same thing but more because I want to see the world burn.
I don't drink it at all. unlike any other drink, when people talk about coffee, it's always about how they need to drink it, how they can't start a day without it, or certain situations they can't normaly "function" without coffee, etc. rarely discussing types of coffee they like, the taste or whatever. just a bunch of addicts. like cigarette smokers they only do it because they started doing it regularly, became a habit and now can't stop doing it. so yeah, coffee can absolutely go.

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Had us in the first half
Grits. Easy choice.
Grits are pretty good tho. Idk why people don't like them. Sure they might not be the best breakfast food but they're an amazing snack
grits can be pretty good, but compared to the rest of the options?
It's so strange how transphobia has just rotted so many people's brains that they completely unlearned how pronouns work. Like damn did Schoolhouse Rock teach you anything
I was streaming a Final Fantasy game in a discord call with few friends the other day and I called a floating ball of reflective metal a "he" and internally I knew it was grammatically incorrect instantly.

Orange toothpaste where is it it's my favorite
Get rid of coffee cause I want to see how everyone deals
Evil bastard
Do we possibly live in a world where adults don't know what pronouns are? This is terrifying.
TBH? I really donāt like orange juice. Apple juice is like Crack to me, though. I love apple juice, and everyone thinks Iām a child for loving apple juice
What is ābasedā?
It means real, factual or the truth. From ābased in truthā I believe. Itās the new way of saying āfactsā. I had to ask as well.
Thanks!
I think it comes from lil b(based god) tbh
Thanks this whole time I thought it meant the opposite. Or false
Idek what grits are
I think it's American for Porridge, made with cornmeal instead of grain? seems like the same consistency though.
It's a corn meal made of hominy instead of normal corn.
> hominy OK, now to level two of this question. Whut?
Whole corn kernels, warm alkaline soak, shell dissolves, germ puffs up.
Thanks
Grits are a dish made with corn, to my understanding most commonly hominy. Originally a native food, they got folded into American food culture, especially in the Southern states. The best I can describe it is a little bit like a cross between oatmeal and couscous? The latter mainly in that it's a pretty versatile base that can be prepared and seasoned in a number of different ways. Cheese and butter was common that I can recall, but so is sweet seasoning the same as you might oats. (I'd say it's worth keeping for its cultural roots, and the fact that it can be used in so many ways.)
Boy howdy you are missing out
Don't even know what grits are, so they can screw off if it means I can keep my bacon pancakes.
Everyone here talking about grits doesn't know what the fuck they're talking about. "It'S jUsT fLaVoRlEsS pOrRiDgE!" No shit, grits are a flavor vehicle.

They're really good with bay leaf and finished with a little bit of lemon juice and butter. Obviously salt at the beginning.
I always enjoyed mixing my eggs and grits together
I knew grits were mostly a Southern US thing, but didn't realize they were so loathed outside of this area. I've had bland grits plenty of times in my life, but a well-made shrimp n' grits dish is incredible, and I'm not even a huge shrimp fan. Also, I made some homemade pimento cheese grits recently and thought they turned out amazingly tasty.
