This tinned coffee you have - is it cold? I've heard of iced tea but not iced coffee. Here in Ireland we drink hot tea all year round - the older generation in particular. My mother drinks tea all day long. When we had occasion to drive to Belfast (an hour away) she'd bring a flask of hot tea with her, which she'd open as soon as we'd arrive, since 'You can't get a decent cup of tea anywhere these days...'
ReplyDeleteIn the winter some people add a dram of whiskey into their coffee&cream to warm them up.
There is a large variety of cold, tinned coffees here that you can buy in any convenience store. In winter, the shop owners will put some in a heated display case. I buy the cheapest one because I can't tell the difference between a 1,000 Won tin of coffee and a 2,500 Won tin.
DeleteI usually only drink coffee when I'm out for a walk. At home I drink hot tea all year. More in winter and less in summer. But probably more than is good for me.
I think your mother is right about not being able to get a good cup of tea anywhere. When I go to coffee shops with someone I usually get green tea or something that doesn't require a careful balance of leaf, honey, and milk.
I once went to a coffee shop with a co-worker and was surprised to see Irish coffee on the menu. I ordered it and was somewhat horrified to see him pour in some syrupy liqueur instead of whisky.
Cold, tinned coffee doesn't sound very nice but I guess on a hot summer day it helps. I remember being in Portugal a few years ago when it was very hot. My colleague and I sat down for a cold beer and a slice of pizza. We were amused when the pizza came out cold...cold pizza?!
DeleteThe Irish way for drinking tea is just tea and a splash of milk. Nothing fancy. And that 'Irish Coffee' sounds very suspect!
I like cold pizza a lot. University breakfast special!
