Your ideal cafe?

You'd have to ask a die-hard Douglas Adams fan that question

I hate poncy teas. Give me Typhoo bags any day

 

Well, if you're expecting "tea", or a "latte", you're inevitably going to be
disappointed, but I found it to be a nice change, in a kind of
Ovaltine-meets-Central-Asia kind of way

 

I had the misfortune to have to stay in Holyhead between ferries
recently. The microwaved slop served up by their quayside hostelries
was a sight and taste to behold.

The (train) station caff however was a revelation, unfortunately
discovered after the aforementioned eating "experience" ..

Which is why the best restaurant in the world is in England?

 

By being very careful about what's going on around them, and relying (to a
certain extent) on the understanding of friends and acquaintancies about
their situation.

The main thing they have to remember is never to leave home without their
epinephrine.

S'funny. I prefer cafes in book shops. Probably because the clientele
consists of people who can read.

If you say so Ben. But when generalising, it's normally the majority
one talks about, not the exception.

I hapenned to catch part of a "Gordon Ramsey rescues struggling
restaurateur" program last night, where the Italian Restaurant 'chef'
used mainly frozen, and much pre-prepared, ingredients. About sums it
up really.

Within walking distance of my flat.

Quite a long walk, mind. And if you get bored of that, Roux's
gaff is almost next door...

Des? That you?

Depends what you are used to. I like my Doppio-Espresso - but I also
like a well made Latte.

Phil

 

I didn't mind it apart from the overpowering sweetness..

To me, putting milk in coffee is like putting coke into real ale -
some people do it, I know, but I think it's a sacrilege.

Think you've got Krusty's answer - get Ramsey in to either put him out of
his misery or rescue him before he starts! Calls cost 25p . . . . . .

 

Ace says...

Putting /what/ into real Ale? Most real ale tastes bad enough as it is.

 

Yeah but it's real. And it's ale. Only the true connoisseur can appreciate a
glass of what looks like diarrhoea and tastes like fruity sewage.

 

Maybe the coke makes it taste better? It's the only way I'd consider
drinking real ale.

 

Phillistines, the lot of you.
