Subject: Tea in USA

To my astonishment, when I visited Pennsylvania & Delaware in the USA, I could not find ONE single electric kettle!

I was there for 3 months and, try as I would, could not find one in any store! They simply do not use them! When an American wants to boil water they put a pot on the stove top. No wonder tea is not a popular beverage over there!

To make matters worse, it is extremely difficult to purchase good tea. Most of the teas I found were Chinese (no Indian) and, quite frankly, I think the Chinese are selling the Americans the factory floor sweepings!
