Oh, wow. That questionnaire is like gibberish to me.
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The Varsity is a local restaurant, so it's not too surprising that was weird. It's sort of an old-school burgers place, not actually very good. [link]
I couldn't think of another name for a potluck, and I wrote that there should not be flavors of iced tea (although I've seen peach). Also, what do you tailgate at besides football?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I said a concert for tailgating. And for flavors of iced tea, I thought peach but wrote lemon.

I think I can pass for an American pretty well, but there are some basic tests I fail horribly at. Thankfully there were no food questions on the citizenship test.
I think the jury panel was as decent a cross-section of LA citizens as I've encountered in a while, and two things struck me--lots of accents and names I'd be likely to mispronounce (but mine wasn't mispronounced once, halloo Latino influence), and how am I not in the entertainment industry? All the cool kids are doing it, and evidently some of the dorks.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
there should not be flavors of iced tea
Should there also not be flavors of hot tea? Because I'll have mint or peach or lemon ginger or raspberry tea hot or cold. Earl grey, even, that's flavored.

Huh, "iced tea" in my mind is different from cold herbal teas, for example. I am fine with cold mint tea or, say, iced lemon zinger. Boy, the brain is weird. (I am not very fond of fruity hot teas unless they are herbal teas, but then I love blackberry sage (black) tea, so I guess I am a hypocrite.)

The status is NOT quo.
Flavored iced tea (from the ingredients, not a flavor pump) is awesome.
ETA: Mighty Leaf Ginger Peach tea is insanely good iced. It's a black tea.

Because books.
All I could think of for potluck was "covered dish supper" which was stretching it.
I put "sweet tea" for flavor of iced tea, which is also cheating, probably.

I have heard of "potlatch" instead of "potluck"? Is that it?

I thought maybe a bring-and-share as a synonym for a potluck. or maybe a smorgasboard, but not in the south? Buffet?
Flavor of iced tea in my world can be strawberry (yum made with fresh berries of course) or passion fruit iced tea.
I didn't know Varsity and I couldn't think of another tailgating event. Or passed down recipes. But now that I think about it, I'd think pecan pie is a passed down recipe in my world.
