What does Tweak mean?
Re: Stupid questions from non-natives (Part Two)
Croutons are basically stale bread seasoned and baked. You put them on salad and it makes it crunchy.
Tweak means to change very slightly. Think frosting the final flower on a cake or spell checking an already edited story.

Re: Stupid questions from non-natives (Part Two)
Croutons are tiny, edible Borg ships for salads.
"Tweak" has a few meanings in America. It can mean to "alter" or "change for the better." As in, "I am just going to tweak this wire on this machine and....there. It's fix." Or "tweak" can mean, "to be high." As in, "Aw, man he's tweaking on 'shrooms". Get him down from the drapes before he breaks his neck." A "tweaker" is a junkie. Usually it refers to a meth junkie. But, again, it can mean a general junkie.

Chicken and waffles is really popular in the south, I agree.
(I am american and I didn't know that about tweaking! Thank you for that info.)

Personally, I grew up in Va and am currently now in NC and we have it here. And it's really big in the Soul Food places in NYC and DC from the times I have visited there.
Re: Stupid questions from non-natives (Part Two)
Although Roscoe's is in L.A., and it's the most famous chicken and waffle place I know of . . .
Re: Stupid questions from non-natives (Part Two)
2. Old bread that has been cooked to make them crunchy.
3. I have no idea. :)
Re: Stupid questions from non-natives (Part Two)
Also, you can make them out of cake.
That automatically makes them awesome.

Re: Stupid questions from non-natives (Part Two)
Croutons are very tasty - they make seasoned ones you can buy in the store for your salads, but they're always these big chunky squares that are a little hard to eat. The local 'Ruby Tuesday' makes them out of pumpernickel bread, and they are delicious.
