  • My point is that a non-coffee drinker is going to drink that and think it tastes like black coffee. Their experience of it will be what’s on the sign even if that’s inaccurate.

    Also just an FYI, an americano is espresso shots in water, not coffee. Similar to what you’re describing, but a little smoother.



  • Is an Italian latte really with cold milk?

    I used to work in coffee in Seattle and around there a latte is also steamed milk. The difference between a latte and a cappuccino is the amount of foam to milk ratio.

    Latte is mostly milk with a topping of foam. Cappuccino is half foam half milk (and some people like even more foam in their cappuccinos).











  • Yeah many Asian cuisines are great for me (especially the ones with primarily rice/sweet potato noodles). Mexican is also pretty easy.

    I’m lucky in that neither allergy is super serious, so I don’t have to avoid soy sauce or butter. Milk fucks me up though, and bread/pasta.

    Gluten free has also come a long way since I was a kid, and since it’s only cows milk I can still eat goat or sheep cheese. Sadly all of that is really expensive in the US for some reason. I was super annoyed when I went to the rural UK and found that goat and sheep cheese was exactly the same price as cow cheese there.
