Does the rest of the world seriously NOT have lemon lime and bitters?

(By which I mean the drink known as LL&B - I'm aware that you guys have lemons.)


o.O

How will I survive?

In Britain:

"Lemon squash" gets you a bland, non-fizzy drink usually made from concentrated cordial.

"Lemonade" usually gets you a fizzy, bottled or on tap, transparent liquid with a lemony taste. Schweppes and the like make this stuff.

"Homemade" or "old fashioned lemonade" will be cloudy, may be fizzy and may even have seen a lemon within living memory. A bit of a halfway house.

Bitter lemon I think is the same on both sides.

That's all I can think of. It truly is the small stuff that gets difficult!

Heh. Like trying to order water in Germany.

I learnt about six words for water, including just plain "Wasser", and every single one of them got me mineral water, which I hate with a passion.

Most of the time, I gave up and got orange juice instead.

(Apparently, the correct request would have been "Evian"...)
