The Unspecific Banter Thread

Ppppppffffttt youlol must be women drinking that and driving mx5 lollolo

I get somewhat flummoxed when faced with a coffee 'menu'. I don't know what some of them are and I'm too embarrassed to ask because I'm old and therefore expected to know. Usually I resign myself to an americano, or a latte if I'm feeling like something exotic.

drinks without sugar, mostly coffee, tea, with or without milk...

btw if you're in a major city there are now some very tasty coffees available in the form of hipster joints. different to the usual roasts.

Espresso to start the day, cappuccino for breakfast. From then on its all about tea.

It really pisses me off that these hipster coffee places only stock English breakfast or earl grey, and then they serve it by slapping a teabag into a mug. Tea bags are fine for Yorkshire or tetleys but if I am doing tea properly then I want loose leaf, in a small canoeing pot, preferably with a little jug of water. There is a canoeing point to serving tea in this way, the small pot lets the tea brew perfectly for as long as the customer wants, they can then pour the tea into a cup when it's right for them, with just the right amount of butter tanins. They can then use the lug if hit water to brew the second cup,

Don't get me started about how canoeed costas idea of a Bakewell tart is.

And no a load of dried fruit in a bag is not tea... Maybe excepting really sweet sugared mint tea...,

And I'll have an americano with hazelnut milk, if you're offering.

And don't forget kayak and aubergine

Hmmmm need to get more creative...
