I protest all the time (to those few who care) that green "tea" is not tea. It's brewed similarly to tea, and is a hot liquid drink, but it is not tea.

"Tea" should refer to one of two plant genera: the Camellia Sinensis from China, Tibet or Japan, or the Camellia Assamica from North East India. There are hybrids of course but "green tea" is not one.

Nor is chamomile, raspberry or licorice "tea". They are just boiled green, red or yellow leaves and stems.

Perdita

I you.

We choosey tea drinkers must stick up for our rights as well.
I don't drink coffee.
Ever.

I feel the same way about "white" chocolate.

This has baffled me for as long as I can remember. What is "white chocolate" really? Lard with sugar?

White Chocolate

White chocolate originates from the cocoa (cacao) plant, but it is not 'chocolate.' According to the FDA, to be called 'chocolate' a product must contain chocolate liquor, which is what gives it the biter intense chocolate flavor (and color) to dark and milk chocolates.

White chocolate contains cocoa butter, milk solids, sugar, lecithin and flavorings (usually including vanilla). Cocoa butter is the fat from cocoa beans, extracted from the cocoa beans during the process of making chocolate and cocoa powder. Cocoa butter has very little 'chocolate' flavor.

Cocoa butter is one of the ingredients used to make real chocolate, it is gives chocolate the ability to remain solid at room temperature, yet melt easily in the mouth.

Cocoa butter is one of the most stable fats known, containing natural antioxidants that prevent rancidity and give it a storage life of 2 to 5 years. It is used for its smooth texture in foods (including chocolate) and in cosmetics and soaps.

Yummy..........

Turkish blend is like that too, we called it diesel.

I recently learned that I had been having the same problem with coffee that I once had with beer. When I was young and first trying beer, I started with a moderate dark beer, didn't like it, and kept working lighter until I hit Bud Light. Didn't like any of it. Eventually I discovered that I had headed in the wrong direction - I'm a Guinness drinker.

So with coffee. I've never liked the flavor of the stuff, although it always smelled good. Then I discovered Turkish coffee. Just today I made my first batch at home ... ahhhh. That's the stuff. I think I may have a new bad habit.

One of my friends calls it "bushel of wheat in a glass."

That works just as well. It was smoother than I expected.
I'm still a Sam Adams girl, can't believe I used to drink Coors light...ugh.

Coors Light is foamy piss. Blek.




As for the coffee. I prefer Hawaiian Kona but it's pretty pricy. I usually settle for a Kona blend which is much cheaper. Actually I'm drinking it now.

Kenyan AA is also a familiar friend of mine.

Well you see, that depends on your interpretation of the word 'purse'.

In England, a 'purse', is a small item made specifically to hold money - coin, notes, credit cards. What you're referring to, in England is called a 'handbag'.

I carry a purse and a handbag (shoulder bag actually, I wouldn't be seen dead carrying one of those small hand held bags. *shudder* ).

Amen. Ditch the handbag. And any other items of clothing that might be remotely questionable.

( to the goose as well.)

And there's no better place to drink it than in Ireland. Drinking draught Guinness in one of the many bars on Galway High Street while the band is roaring away in the back room is one of life's special experiences.

American beer is like making love in a canoe.

I'll pass the on with great pleasure and alacrity.

Questionable clothing? What an intriguing concept. Pray, dear equine friend, elucidate a tad more.

 

[kendo1]

Maybe a nosebag for horsey.
