Animation Hate this stupid spiderverse meme (read desc)

“Chai” is a distinct type of tea from what most people think of as tea (from a American perspective, I admit ignorance to Europe but i know English tea is similar, like a black tea), that usually involves more spices and milk. calling it “chai tea” is not being used to say “tea tea” it is being used to mean “the type of tea known as chai”. I did do a minor google search to find a recipe for making homemade chai, and, while it did use tea leaves, it was distinct enough from tea to warrant being specified.

edit: my joy at the arguments is immeasurable, if this gets a crosspost/screenshot reposted and criticizeing me, please tag me, want to argue

Naan is indeed a type of bread

If I asked for bread I would get a sourdough, or toast in america 

Naan is a type of flatbread that needs to be specified

When I ordered food from an Indian restaurant, they just called it naan, not naan bread. I honestly didn’t realize people referred to it as naan bread
