You US Americans DEFINATELY do not know how to make coffee.
Everywhere big buckets of cremated bean-tea. (though according to my sis one can get decent coffee in NY)
When I asked for a coffee that was 3 times stronger than their strongest coffee, I actually got something that at least satisfied my need for caffeine.
It was like drinking water mixed with grinded charcoal. But at least it did contain caffeine.

To think of it, I've never had a good mug of coffee in the UK either.
Which is strange as they have just as well a colonial past just as we do.
 
well, my mother being a Belgian has very high standards for coffee.

I've seen some bad coffee here in the US - it just doesn't happen to be found at home :D

A bastion of taste, impregnable for the spineless lard of the big food industries, I like that :D
I don't remember drinking coffee in Belgium though... I guess it was nothing else than what we got in NL otherwise I would have remembered the terrible craving.
Besides, I drank other, tasty, traditional liquid substances over there... :D
 
well, my Belgian Grandfather was trained in the Restaurant business. And I'm talking about running a fancy restaurant for the very rich. He was a representative for Lafite (Wine Distribution, for those who may not know). He knew Everything about that, everything about how to make and present every type of food, dessert, coffee, teas, etc.

His knowledge was formidable. And he was an Artist.

He came to New York as a representative for Lafite and that's one reason he decided to move the family here.

The bottom line is that growing up I had the freshest vegetables and fruits, the healthiest meals - even when they were "simple" and i was never given anything to eat that wasn't good for me.

A good cup of coffee is just part of a nice meal. I drink more coffee now that we have a Panera in the neighborhood but mom always made great coffee at home which we only really have when the whole family comes over for dinner.

yes, I'm very lucky

Saaaayyyy does your grandfather have left you a nice wine cellar, perhaps, maybe??
 
no. ha

My grandfather didn't accumulate STUFF.
My impression was that his experiences In The Trenches taught him to carry light.

my Grandmother was the exact opposite in that regard. She hated to throw out anything.

It's official - we Scots have now moved up to second place in running to be the fattest, laziest, don't-know-when-to-put-the-f*cking-mars-bars-down, b*stards in the world. (After you Americans, natch.)

It's not often I'm proud of the accidental location of my birth but today, by golly, my heart is just about bursting with pride. (Actually, it's probably bursting with chronic heart disease from a diet of deep fried, battered lard-balls but that's a minor detail.)

Scotland is the world's second fattest country, with two-thirds of adults classed as overweight or obese.
