Ahh Bapu

You say that you don't drink Coffee

Probably because you've never tasted 'British coffee'

One of the finest underrated drinks in the world, Our excellent fast food outlets serve up a splendid cup of the aforementioned. Its worth the trip over the pond just to sample.

Also don't listen to Jonbuoy - The best tea comes in a teaBag - (any teabag will do)
Submerge in boiling water and skimmed milk preferably in a cracked cup(held down with a spoon) for between 45 minutes to an hour - microwave back to boiling and serve straight away - Delicious!!

you'll never want to leave the coffee room

You guys are all so cool. Let's be friends?

After Jonbouy's first post, maybe I shouldn't admit this, but I drink green tea (iced) all the time. I take it to class with my in my fancy REAL Starbucks cup that my son bought for me. I always have to explain it's not beer. One student thought maybe it was urine. lol. I wish there was brown food coloring I could put in it!

Herb, you drink mate? Good for you! Supposed to be good for you too!

In college, from time to time, we drank a black tea called "Morning Thunder." I don't remember what the caffeine content was, but it was some kickin' stuff - a couple cups in the morning and you were zooming all day. I suppose comparable to espresso in the coffee world.

I have a co-worker here in the US who has family in England and they send over PG Tips.

The tatste still reminds me of the time I spent in London years back. Cold mornings in Brixton, no heat in the flat, but a steaming mug of Tips was a great way to start the day.

Our current favourite is Tetley Tea - makes a great cuppa.

I have to admit the Brits know tea like Americans know pot. It comes down to which foreign countries you've spent the most time dominating/patronizing. You have India, we have Mexico. I could not live without the superb food from either of those places.

Of course, here in Seattle it's gotta be coffee or you get asked to move to Oregon.

you get asked to move to Oregon.

I think Stephen Colbert refers to Oregon alternately as "California's Canada" and "Washington state's Mexico"...

I can heartily recommend Twinings Green Tea Blend.

As the blurb accurately says: "A refreshing blend of both green and black teas, our Green Tea Blend gives you the best of both worlds - It offers all the properties of green tea coupled with the satisfying full fresh flavour of black tea. Served with milk, it is ideal for breakfast or whenever you need refreshing"

I believe that by drinking this, I will live forever. - And so far it is working....

Bit / Dave have you gone somewhere else and just had their take on something? that I used to find interesting..

I remember visiting my Dutch friend years ago, when I was much younger. His mum made a "English breakfast" her take on it wasn't exactly right and I didn't say much because she was trying to be thoughtful.

I probably, found it more interesting with Chinese food. I mean I dated someone who was Chinese origin, and their take on food and what we get are very different things, much like my Indian friends. I do remember going out one Chinese new years, and they gave me the "none tame" version of some chilli chicken.. I was a picture.. I looked like a thermometer..haha.. initially I was like "Oh this isn't so hot" and then it kicked in and thankfully there was water near by.

Although one of the best Thai chef's in a high end restaurant , well the head chef was Irish (I wasn't paying the bill , but lets just say it'd been the same price as a sonar upgrade per person.hehe)

I went into "ye olde fish and chip shop" for a laugh when I went in Canada , and their take on it was funny.. they served fries!!!! thats like NOOOoo chips are chunky..

might prove interesting reading.. although my roots are Irish, well I knew they REALLY like their tea (going to visit relatives as a kid and people going thru maybe 8-9 cups EASILY) . I can't stand the stuff.. herbal, like peppermint, ok.. but not the normal stuff.

what Garry said about tea, a guy on the radio drinks green tea for breakfast (I think it's the same as the stuff I had for Chinese new year) ... intially people don't like the taste.. but you get used to it and it's supposed to be healthly for ya.
