Soda vs. Pop vs. Whatever: What Do You Call Cola Drinks?
I'm originally from New Jersey. In 1984 I moved to Florida and the first restaurant we stopped in ( Bennigans) I asked for a soda. When the waitress came back she had what appeared to be Sprite. Thinking nothing of it, I took a drink and much to my surprise it was seltzer water. I told the waitress she made a mistake and she said I asked for a soda. I agreed, but told her what I meant was a Coke or something. She said, "Oh! You mean a pop!"
I had never heard that until then. 24 years later it seems nowadays people ask for it by brand names to be clear.

This sounds very much like a dish my Italian mother used to make when we were kids. The only difference is she cooked the sauce with onions. It made a stew-like dish in which she cracked the eggs on top of the sauce and let them cook to soft, but not runny centers. Add a piece of crusty italian bread and a salad, and you have the ultimate winter comfort food. This recipe brings back so many memories. I think I will have to make this soon. My mouth is watering!
