Stop getting hot drinks wrong!!

[Alan]

It's made in a "Dallah". I didn't tend to drink my coffee or have business meetings in the desert, so they made do with a stove.

The word I've learned is Čežve, I think.

I love the stuff, personally. The hot sand is a real thing btw, not some insensitive joke!

 

[leedswolf]

What a bizarre statement about a completely subjective opinion.

Why is it bizarre to have an opinion.

Yeah, the cezve is Turkish. Looks like a small long handled saucepan? I know about about the hot sand stuff btw...

 

[Alan]

I know about about the hot sand stuff...

More for public clarity than for yours.

Stating it's pointless suggests there's some underlying objectivity about it.

I gave up sugar in tea and coffee earlier this year and actually enjoy the fact I can taste the drink and not just artificial (or real) sweetness

FFS...

Indeed.

I've tried but I'm so used to it now that it tastes dreadful and even sometimes gives me stomach ache because my body isn't used to it.

That'll be your addiction to sugar.

I used to have 3 fucking sugars in my tea when I was a kid, I've had none in it for years and it tastes just fine... After a while you get used to its absence and your body and teeth are all the better for it...

It took me a while to adjust but I won't go back now I've "broken the spell"

 

[BillyDee]

I don't have sugar in my coffee, but I do have a splash of caramel syrup because I am insufferably middle class...

I swear I've gotten to the point where even a few granules of sweetener in tea/coffee will make the entire drink taste of straight sugar to me.

When I was a kid I used to put 5 tablespoons of sugar underneath the milk in my cornflakes. In unrelated news I now have a gob full of crowns, fillings and gaps

 

[Jack Regan]

Stopped having sugar in my tea in when I was about 10. Had it in my coffee until my mid 30's, gave up having milk in both (unless I'm having a vanilla latte) about the same time.

I have no sugar with stuff these days. Like you, I would have sugar with hot drinks and cereal when I was a kid.

 

[The Bear]

Absolutely. I unashamedly have a very sweet tooth.

I always remember Bob Mortimer saying he used to have 17 sugars in his tea. If he had 18 it was too sweet!

I have a tiny drop of milk with black tea. No milk with green, jasmine or Earl Grey teas.

 

[The Bear]

I tried Earl Grey once. Tasted like washing up liquid.
