Yes, but what do folks drink at home for a gourmet treat?

That's a good question. I live a few hundred yards from the Canadian

border and am in Ontario at least once a week, sometimes more (and worked

there for years after I moved back to the U.S.), but I can't think of any

coffee that Canadians particularly like more than others (except Tim

Hortons, which does sell ground coffee); nor can I think of any

indigenous gourmet coffee houses. On second thought, there's a place

called Second Cup in Toronto which I recall having good gourmet coffee,

and there must be others; and are certainly arey such places in Vancouver

and other large cities, but I haven't kept up with that -- there aren't

any in " my " part of Canada nearby. It's an hour-and-a-half

drive to Toronto from where I live after one crosses the border (which

can take time).

I actually wasn't kidding about Canadians and Starbucks. There are tons

of Starbucks in Canada now, and they seem to be frequented esepcially by

university-aged people as trendy places to go and hang out and drink

coffee concoctions. What I like about them is they sell fresh fruit,

unlike the Starbucks on this side of the border; and they have squeezable

pots of honey rather than the little individual packets that you can

never get open, and if you can you get your hands all sticky. I think

large sqeezable containers of honey, ketchup, etc. aren't allowed here at

" fast food restaurants because of health regulations (at least they

aren't in NY), which I personally think is going a little overboard,

but....

Oh not at all! I was just trying to think what the average person would do for a "gourmet" beverage at home. Besides just making coffee, tea, or having juice, water, etc.

Well, funnily enough, this character isn't a beer drinker. Only thing

she's told me she likes is coffee. And the occasional glass of wine.

Wow, that sounds very much like me! When I had to stop taking cream in my coffee, something I figured I couldn't live without, I decided I would switch from good ol' Nabob to organic beans and grinding them myself! That is my gourmet treat. Now I'm actually tasting just the coffee and I feel quite gourmet-ish drinking it! DarleneIntestinal DysbiosisSCD 13 days
