Mmm. There's nothing like it - but just how do you describe the goodness of such gratification to Canadians? Unless you grew up on Flat Whites and Short Blacks, it is near impossible to describe how sad it is when you can't have one at your whimsy.
Here's what Wikipedia tell us a flat white is...
A flat white is a coffee beverage originating from Australia and New Zealand. It is prepared by pouring microfoam (steamed milk from the bottom of a pitcher) over a single shot (30 millilitre) or double shot of espresso. It is similar to the latte and the café au lait and like other espresso-based beverages it can be interpreted various ways.
"Double-Double," Pfffttt!!! Even Tig admits that this stuff is pretty good. Don't worry, we didn't feed her actual caffeine. The lady in the cafe` frothed up some warm milk so Tig could experience her first 'Fluffy'.
So good to be home amongst the cafe` culture. I think we might need to put some serious thought into purchasing a decent Espresso Machine when we get back to Halifax.
Just to set the record straight... not everyone in Canada loves the coffee at Tim Horton's. And while we are at it, I think Will should admit to his patronage at Tim's. He is often seen walking in to the office with a breakfast sandwich and coffee cup with the TH logo!!
