Not aware of "Serbian bubble tea" but after looking up the place in the Google maps, it has Shiba Inu logo, a neon sign that reads "Made in Thailand", and a general poppy Asian milk tea shop vibe. The frappes and milk tea don'tlook bad but yeah, misleading image.
Lol.
forget Italians, Hawaiians want no part in this travesty
Italians can suck my short toe. They didn't even come up with the pizza, it was italian heritage immigrants. Same thing for people who complain about deep dish pizza (which is really just a weird lasagna/casserole) not being pizza.
Italians should be more like the Japanese and embrace change and just appropriate those fusion dishes and pretend like they invented it. Like if the Japanese were like Italians salmon sushi would have never become a Japanese dish. Before Norwegian salmon farmers came to Japan to convince Japanese chefs to sell raw salmon in the 80’s, salmon sushi didn’t exist since wild salmon often contains parasites. If the Japanese were like Italians they would have scoffed at the idea to sell and eat salmon sushi.
Yes the Japanese, famous for their embrace of change!
Well compared to the Italians the Japanese are super progressive especially in their culinary development , they still have their traditional dishes but also are trying new things even with their traditional dishes.
huh TIL
Which ‘Italian heritage immigrants’? Are you saying pizza is an American invention?
Yanks do honestly say that lol
Are the yanks okay?
Italians invented the food, americans made it edible.
Not OP, but maybe they're alluding to the fact that tomatoes were exclusively native to the Americas, so pizza in Italy never even had tomatoes before 500 years ago. A quick Google search shows that the first modern pizzas came from Naples about 300 years ago. So no, not American, but not possible without moving tomatoes from the Americas.
Italian immigrants brought pizza to America and it caught on.

This has bugged me for twenty years.
“Bubble tea” refers to tea that is mixed in a shaker, creating a small layer of bubbles when it is served.
“Bubble tea with pearls” is the one with tapioca pearls in the bottom. Milk tea is tea made with milk.
You're referring to "bubble foam tea", which refers to the foam.
"Bubble tea" is something different and refers to the tapioca pearls.
At least, that's the distinction Wikipedia gives, which seems to match the given origins of bubble tea
TIL. I’ve literally never seen the first drink you’re describing. (I’m in the USA)

I wanted to see what this entailed, looked up "shiba bubble tea" and found a bubble tea/restaurant pretty close to me that is Shiba Inu themed and looks like something you'd find in Japan. 😮
I'm gonna go check this place the fuck out.
Ask them if they have Serbian bubble tea
BUBBLE TEA JE SRBIJA
Ive never built up the courage to try even a single bubble tea, partly because its stupid expensive, but mostly because im worried about saying the wrong thing and having people think im strange. Like if you asked for extra sugar on your hot dog or something.
Finding that there's mad purists arguing about what is or isnt doesnt make this any easier.
The classic bubble tea is just Taiwanese style milk tea with sugar and tapioca
DO NOT ORDER THE CHEESE TEA
Do you mean cheese foam? I love cheese foam.
Just pick any flavor you like and ask for it Animal Style.
Just pick the one that looks like it has the flavors you enjoy, then that's usually it, unless there is an option to pick sugar / ice amounts. In Berlin they also let you pick what "bubbles" you wanted : you had the classic boba with some flavour inside them, but also chunks of jelly, or what I guess was tapioca pearls (more chunky, no juice inside).
Or you do like I always did in China : point to the one that looks best and hope for the best :)
It's basically a premium milkshake and/or slushie coffee/tea. The two questions you should ask are what kind of fruit do you want and how much caffeine should come with it.
Its quite mid to bad fruity milk tea with pudding at the bottom
There's a savory crepe place I stopped going to like 80 cents would get you a fully loaded crepe, but it only came with bobba, and I didnt have the language skills to ask for no tea.
tbh the worst someone will think is you're a dumb American, which there are a lot of. They won't single you out or care at all.
Even if they do, it'll just be a gossip sesh with coworkers to pass the time and nothing more
at least that's how it is at my grocery store job. The only things I can remember are
- an Irish man with a funny accent
- someone who wanted double bagged paper for some reason
- and some lady who stole a baby bottle and when the toddler picked it up and yelled "MOMMY YOU FOROGOT THIS!! 😃" nobody said a word about
- also someone who tried to hide an antibiotic under dog food which I accidentally uncovered when scanning the dog food. When it rung up it was $25 and I felt sooo bad

Maybe he uses carbonated water?
Serbia appears to have normal bubble tea places.

It's like the first time in any restaurant or food place where you're not familiar with the food:
Ask the server what they recommend.
Then say okay
I like to narrow it down to 2 choices and ask which they prefer
They always recommend something that's quick and easy to make and makes the restaurant more money, there's no way for a server to know what you would like, do your own research in advance before ordering somewhere it takes 10 Mins at most
This is a wild take. Genuinely worried about how you are viewing the folks you interact with.
I spent a fair amount of time working in the food industry. It is way easier to just say what you legitimately would recommend rather then come up with a bizzare lie.
The vast majority of the time I've every asked any worker what is popular or recommended at their restaurant I either get a confused or annoyed look and some generic recommendation, which makes sense most of these positions are exhausting and pay shit, having to decide recommendations for some customer is extra work they don't need
