Well, high tea isn't really something we do in Scotland...

So it can be added to the list of what Scottish people do not do?

Work
Be happy
Get on
Be nice
Vegetables
High tea

We are happy... We just appear miserable.

You keep swillin your tea. We'll keep drinkin our coffee.

Min, youre pushing it my good man. Insulting crumpets is below the belt, no doubt your Americanness makes you feel that it should be covered in chocolate or transfats.

What were you saying about transfats?

Even Adrian admitted the junk food here is prime.

Personally I don't like the overly sweet shit that much. Give me good toast and eggs and coffee for breakfast, and fruit and coffee for "snack" when you'd be taking tea.

Well,this week I burned out yet another percolator.That makes three. I leave them on the stove and forget. I now buy the cheap ones,$30. I use the Italian style,in which the water is forced through the coffee under pressure,once. Even cheap coffee is OK,but good quality coffee is sublime. ("good quality" to me means about $20 a pound)

I have an electric ceramic top stove, so probably won't burn my house down.So far so good. I have an automatic dripolater,but hate it. Plungers are worse.

When I discovered Dunkin' Donuts and hot pastami on rye,I thought I had died and gone to heaven. The icing on that cake was those humungous cans of beer and that in the US you can buy beer from a DELI! (here not even the supermarkets sell alcohol)

However, I had the worst hot dog of my life in New York.

Coffee lovers like myself. I recommend a Krueger and your favorite K-cups. A little costly, but I get the PERFECT cup of coffee every single morning.
mmmmm... delish!!

Sheesh - if you could brew coffee half as well as you make pretty .sigs, you wouldn't need that overpriced toy.

You had me until the tea part. Give me coffee instead. Call it my rebel nature.

OMFG, Summer - you owe me a new keyboard. I laughed so hard I sprayed Dr. Pepper out of my nose.

(Yeah, I know it's not coffee. Sue me. I needed something cold to take my afternoon pills. LOL)

The whisky makes up for all of that.

Ok, Cinjin can shove a perculator up his his ass with his deist fantasies :p

Confession time.

I love........... coffee, but i do not drink it at home, i drink tea at home, for 2 reasons.

1) Tea is hard to make right, i can do it well, shop owners cannot.
2) Coffee puts this problem right, because its hard to fuck up a latte, and i cant bee fucked to make a latte at home.

But yes i get a posh coffee every morning on my way to college or work.

Wow, maybe now i have confessed, i wont go to hell..............

[Minimalist]

You aren't going to hell because there is no hell.


Hell would be a place without coffee.
