Unless you didn’t realize it from my last post… I really like my coffee. At least now I’m a little bit more used to the way they do it here… As long as I can get my latte I’ll call it cappuccino or whatever the hell they want to call it!
So a few days ago after having lunch at this restaurant I decide it’s the right time to enjoy my ‘cappuccino’. I order it from the waiter and a few minutes later I get a latte with some foam… not quite enough as it should have, but there was something floating on the foam! I took cup up to my nose…cinnamon!!! Who the hell asked for cinnamon!!! I managed to scoop it out but lost pretty much all the foam they gave me.
A couple days later… again, after lunch, at another restaurant I asked for my ‘cappuccino’ but this time I asked
“Do you put cinnamon in your cappuccino?”
“No”
“Great! Thanks!”
A few minutes later here comes my latte… I can see from afar that there is a good amount of foam… they might have gotten it right this time! As they set down the cup in front of me I see something floating on the freaking foam!
I take it up to my nose… cocoa!
Once again I had to scoop something out of my latte before I could drink it.
Anyway… to not go on and on about this any longer… all I can say is that every place I’ve been to and ordered a “cappuccino” I have gotten something slightly different. There’s a joke in Seattle that goes on about how you are from Seattle if you can order a cup of coffee in a hundred different ways… well… all I can say is that here you can order 1 cup of coffee and GET it in a hundred different ways!
