RE: Vietnamese Coffee - A general rant about coffee snobbery, the French and some history of how Nestlé was invented and the story of condensed milk: it's me, it's not that serious, OK?
That was a lot of fun, I knew it would as soon as I saw the words "general rant" - it's been too long. As for the gobbiness, that's the Yorkshire in you, and I loved Carnation Milk as a child, more than cream, although we usually had fruit cocktail (cheaper) and very rarely tinned peaches, that was a sign of the high life. (By the way, is there anything more disgusting than tinned salmon?) thanks for the tip about alt gr ... who knew :)
Great Auntie Peggy was a 1970's Methodist forerunner to Hyacinth Bucket! As a small kid I hated being dragged off to her house for tea every other Sunday! I hated Carnation LOL....I loved real cream reserved for Christmas and the first apple pie of the season and after that, Dream Topping lol...classy ;-)
Over here, Carnation, both condensed and evaporated is used to extreme in every manner of iced teas and coffees and other types of blended drinks. Its everywhere. If you come over for Steemfest you can go totally Carnation crazy!
Tinned Salmon lol....anything from the ocean that ends up in a tin is gross, as is anything that has the word 'brine' on the tin!........ahhhhhh but those tinned hot dog sausages weren't bad until we all watched that 'How they are made' video as adults!
