Which one do you prefer? For me it's tea by a mile.

Coffee

I like iced tea.




Long Island Iced Tea.

Coffee. Irish Coffee is good too, when it's cold.

coffee by a country mile.

And tea with milk is the most disgustingly insipid slop imaginable.

coffee by a country mile.

What is the precise measurement of a country mile versus a city mile?

coffee. No question.

What is the precise measurement of a country mile versus a city mile?

country mile
n. Informal
A very great distance.


so I would say a country mile is much longer than a city mile as I can run miles in 7 minutes.

Coffee: The perfect drink.

Tea. Preferably Earl Gray or Lapsang Souchong. No milk, one sugar.

at the moment I could do with some coffee (milk and 2 sugars btw :wink:) but I usually stick with tea because if an Englishman's tea content drops a certain level they turn Irish

And tea with milk is the most disgustingly insipid slop imaginable.

have you tried British cooking? >_>

Tea. Preferably Earl Gray or Lapsang Souchong. No milk, one sugar.

ugh lemon should never be used with tea

Sweet tea for me!

Tea. Specifically, standard English breakfast (dash of milk, no sugar) in the mornings to keep the caffeine flowing, but green or oolong to drink for pleasure (no additives at all).

It really is the drink of the Gods.

This is a silly question.

Tea. Damn son, tea be bitchin'

ugh lemon should never be used with tea
1) Earl grey contains no lemon of its own
2) Lemon makes Earl grey extra tasty and also prevents scurvy :D

If you're going to have tea, it has to be ice cold, sweetened(with real sugar) and served with ice and a lemon.

Although, admittedly, hot tea does have it's uses if you've got a cold or the flu or something.

I thought you were limeies, not lemonies.

Its tea for me

Lime is for corona.

Tea. Iced.

Don't fruit the beer, man. There's even a law.

I was at the bar the other night and got a Sam Summer, which they served with a slice of orange. When the bartender handed it to me, I asked him "Do I really look like the kind of person who wants fruit in their beer?"

He said yes :(

It makes corona taste less like weak gnat's piss.

I like some herbal teas, but since those are not actually "tea" I voted neither.

At my bar, the bartender knows better than to inflict fruit on people. He figures that if you wanted a salad, you'dve ordered a salad.

I'd just drink better beer, instead of trying to make the shitty beer less shitty.

which is his way of telling you he is the bartender and their isn't shit you can do about it.

Not my fault that my pals have no decorum -_-

I prefer tea over coffee. Specifically Earl Grey and Chai - however, coffee -smells- absolutely wonderful and is also tasty. I just think it tricks me by smelling so wonderful and then always being far too strong for me to taste.

1) Earl grey contains no lemon of its own
2) Lemon makes Earl grey extra tasty and also prevents scurvy :D

or right I forgot it was flavored with orange

would you like a teabag with your bowl of fruit or would that taste too much like something normal people would enjoy :tongue:

Lime is for corona.

lime is for tequila not wasting on girlie drinks :mad:

It makes corona taste less like weak gnat's piss.

so why buy Corona in the first place?

At my bar, the bartender knows better than to inflict fruit on people. He figures that if you wanted a salad, you'dve ordered a salad.

I usually only give fruit if a) it is specifically requested or b) it is a girl who would otherwise be ordering a cosmo or similar drink.

which is his way of telling you he is the bartender and their isn't shit you can do about it.

Or his way of busting my balls, since I know the kid.

One thing about being a server or bartender in Boston...you know lots of other servers and bartenders.

Even if that weren't the case, there is plenty I can do. I can take it off, I can ask him not to put it on, I can order a different beer, I can go elsewhere, I can not tip, I can complain about him being rude...there's plenty of courses of action. Not that I would do any of them besides the first two, but any decent bartender know that living by the "This is my bar and this is how I roll...don't like it? Leave." is a sure fire way to lose your job real quick.

Aye well lime with tequila is a fuckin given.

Addressed :P

Point. You can't really complain about free beer.

Ive always been more of a Coffee man myself, unlike my fellow southerners, lol, Tea just isnt my thing....

Point. You can't really complain about free beer.

Oh yes you can. And the more of it you drink, the louder you can complain.

I drink tea when I want to be sleepy. Otherwise it is coffee. coffeecoffeecoffeecoffeecoffeecoffeeCOFFEE

would you like a teabagThere's no perv smiley here. :(

amen to that. How can people stand coffee? it is really bitter.

If when you are ordering a salad all you get is one slice of citrus fruit then that is one messed up salad.

a tropical fruit salad ?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relentless_(drink), that is my boost.

I'm addicted to those things. They're seriously bad for you though, twice the volume and twice the caffine at half the price of a Red Bull! I'll have a heart attack before I'm 25.

a tropical fruit salad ?

And all you get is one thin slice of citrus fruit?

As I say that is a messed up salad and people calling it as such needs to be reeducated.

A diet tropical fruit salad for runway models??

If I believe a taco salad is a true Salad I don't know if i am willing to commit to a restrictive salad definition.

Depends. Usually coffee.

I chose tea, but coffee is better when I really need to stay awake. However, tea is better the rest of the time.

Oh yes, coffee black. For tea I usually go for green (I actually really like macha, but it's too expensive, genmacha is also good) and I also don't take anything in it. I've become a bit of a tea snob, I drink loose leaf teas almost exclusively.

You're never going to give me this are you?

What is a Taco salad?

But I'm willing to be it is more than half a taco shell.

No

a Taco shell for a bowl, then meat, cheese, guacamole, sour cream, and maybe a sprinkling of lettuce on top.

And it is healthy because it is a Salad.

Was going to say 'coffee', but that's only if 'coffee' means 'tall caramel machiatto from Starbucks'. If we're talking an unadulterated cup of the stuff, I'd have to go with tea.

Tea, preferably Ceylon

He said yes :(

I do like a wedge of lemon in my Heffe... :( But that's the only beer, I swear!

coffee all the way. tea is weak, insipid and gross.

No

See I can say that this is a salad but the point I am making is that if I said I wanted a taco salad and you gave me one dollop of guacamole it isn't really a salad.

Just like if I asked for a Caesar Salad and you gave me a leaf of Cos lettuce only that isn't a salad.

In which case if successful I will have enough money to bribe myself out of reeducation and bribe them to send you instead.

I am a man, ergo, I prefer coffee to tea.

Coffee is the drink of manly professions like Lumberjacks, Cowboys, Saracen Assassins, Badass Emirs, U.S. Marines, and Miners. Granted, this is manly coffee, brewed triple strength but can be softened with Turpentine, if necessary.

I usually only give fruit if a) it is specifically requested or b) it is a girl who would otherwise be ordering a cosmo or similar drink.


How do you distinguish these sorts of girls? I drink Bundaberg Rum and coke, a drink which gets me more than a few very strange looks from bartenders and other sorts, or the question, "And what will you be having?" as they assume it is for a male in the vicinity.

The other thing I hate is the assumption that I drink my drinks in a tall glass because I am a girl!

Coffee. Latte. 12 oz. cup. Add 2 Espresso Shots. Almond Syrup. Whipped Cream.

Well, if you order this:

Coffee. Latte. 12 oz. cup. Add 2 Espresso Shots. Almond Syrup. Whipped Cream.

it's probably safe to assume you'll want a tall glass with a few straws. ;)

I don't know anything about Bundaberg, but rum and coke is... not a drink I'd think anyone would get second looks for.

Tea.

Coffee, I'm a disgrace to my country. :(

Tea. Absolutely has to be tea.
One or two sugar (depending on the size of the cup), mostly without but sometimes with milk. Nectar of the gods.

Coffee is the most vile drink on the planet, the taste makes me puke.

I don't care much for coffee...

...just keep your fucking sugar away from my tea!

I thought you were limeies, not lemonies.

lime would ruin a wizard cup of earl grey, wot wot, pip pip

so yeah, for me its tea. coffee is just about ok if there's nothing else.

milk first, then tea. always from a pot (not straight into the mug). and, when i'm at work, no sugar. but when at home/not in work, i add sugar to make it a little different from tea in the office.

I don't know anything about Bundaberg, but rum and coke is... not a drink I'd think anyone would get second looks for.

Bundaberg Rum has been labelled the drink for yobbos[8], after some bars reported that "bundy drinkers are a lot louder, and more disruptive than other patrons." In 2005, four bars in Brisbane banned the rum products, claiming it makes drinkers aggressive and attracts the wrong crowd[8]. "They will abuse bar staff, half a dozen a night, normally gangs of blokes, the marketing is directed at yobbos," one bar owner told The Age newspaper.[9] The Bundaberg Rum Distillery admitted it was aware its brand had a reputation of being associated with aggression, and said it may change its advertising to dispel its "yobbo" image.[10]

This is why I get the looks.

Which one do you prefer? For me it's tea by a mile.

Eihter.

Tea (What can I say, I have become 'Localised' xD)

Tea mostly, I like the smell of coffee but taste wise it always disappoints compared to its aroma.

I don't know anything about Bundaberg, but rum and coke is... not a drink I'd think anyone would get second looks for.

Weird - I would say historically that rum and coke was accepted more as a drink for women, and men get odd looks for ordering it. Maybe it's a UK thing.

(yes, I speak from experience)

Rum and coke in the states is the standard unisex drink.

Depends what kind of rum. If you mean White Rum and coke, aye. Dark rum and coke is a men's drink, though.

17 year old girls on a night out with fake ID.

so thats how I spot the easy lays. Just got to be certain to get out of the hotel before she wakes up. don't want a teenager following me around everywhere saying I love you again.

Coffee before noon-early afternoon, tea beyond that. Just as a vague guideline, though.

And to the above discussion, I've always known rum and coke to be a fairly standard non-gendered drink. Though, I've also come to the conclusion that gendering drinks is fucking odd. If you can't have your hard liquor without a bunch of crap mixed in, perhaps you shouldn't be having any! ;)

Specifically pirates or sailors. Or alcoholics.

And me. Doh.

What about if it's white rum that's dark? Like aged havana club? Is that OK?

Coffee by a long shot, with just a bit of half-and-half or some other such dairy product (or even dairy substitute... I've enjoyed it with soy milk before)

I will admit, though, I have had very little quality tea, so my judgment may be a bit skewed, though there's a local Thai place that I remember having excellent green tea.

Fuckin' A. It's favourite of mine.

Would pirates drink aged havana club? No, they'd save it to get the wenches at Port-au-Prince all pissed up.

if an Englishman's tea content drops a certain level they turn Irish

I'm sure I read somewhere that the Ireland drinks more tea per capita than the UK.
