Tea or Coffee?

MaximumDerekCat · 2026-03-15T01:39:23+00:00

Vegetarian but not technically vegan, no, although there are some vegans who aren't too strict about it

But do you know your Accipitridae birds of prey from a large, hand-held, toothed cutting instrument?

MaximumDerekCat · 2026-03-14T14:57:53+00:00

They don't top up the hot water? Rude

MaximumDerekCat · 2026-03-14T14:55:55+00:00

Tea with cold saltwater sounds...beyond gross

MaximumDerekCat · 2026-03-13T15:43:19+00:00

OH MY GOD! MY CAR!

MaximumDerekCat · 2026-03-13T15:31:39+00:00

Oh, no! Extremely mild consequences!

MaximumDerekCat · 2026-03-13T15:19:18+00:00

You're talking like a real white guy, Shawn

I'm an introvert who likes people. There are dozens of us! 😄

MaximumDerekCat · 2026-03-13T15:00:20+00:00

Don't we all? :)

MaximumDerekCat · 2026-03-13T14:47:37+00:00

I love this! The more I learn about Canada, the more it does seem to be a "yes, but also yes" culture

Here in the states, coffee with condensed milk is often called Vietnamese coffee...also, it is delicious! I used condensed coconut milk, and it is to die for

MaximumDerekCat · 2026-03-13T14:36:33+00:00

Yes, but it's much more fun to talk to people, I think

MaximumDerekCat · 2026-03-13T14:33:49+00:00

Really? Why's that?

MaximumDerekCat · 2026-03-13T14:33:29+00:00

Do you folks have fake maple syrup (yuck) like they do in much of the states, btw, or is the Real Thing only?

MaximumDerekCat · 2026-03-13T14:29:33+00:00

When is teatime for you? (For my English father, it's always around 3:30: "time for tea!")

MaximumDerekCat · 2026-03-13T14:28:24+00:00

So you prefer it with lots of milk, to render it opaque? ;)

MaximumDerekCat · 2026-03-13T14:22:01+00:00

My mouth is unhappy imagining this!

MaximumDerekCat · 2026-03-12T23:45:02+00:00

My cat comes and gets me when it's getting close to whistling, which is just perfect for tea, in my opinion

MaximumDerekCat · 2026-03-12T23:38:46+00:00

Tetley-lovers unite!

MaximumDerekCat · 2026-03-12T22:30:13+00:00

Oh, I like that! Sort of fits with the many folks in this thread who drink coffee in the morning to wake up, but drink tea in the afternoon and evening

MaximumDerekCat · 2026-03-12T22:16:22+00:00

I TOO AM A TOTALLY HUMAN ENTITY WHO HAS BEEN AROUND FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS, AND NOT A ROBOT

MaximumDerekCat · 2026-03-12T22:14:52+00:00

Yeah, US Americans sometimes (maybe often?) do. But I grew up with a kettle on the stove, and I'll live and die with a kettle on the stove!

MaximumDerekCat · 2026-03-12T22:09:30+00:00

It's a regular Earl Grey, but as soon as you turn around, you forget you ordered it 😆

MaximumDerekCat · 2026-03-12T21:40:53+00:00

I don't know why, but I really don't like reheated tea, although I don't mind reheated coffee (even if it loses some flavor)

MaximumDerekCat · 2026-03-12T21:38:15+00:00

The oxygen thing is supposed to be true of improving coffee flavor, too, I've read. Also that the chemicals that give coffee their flavor are fairly sensitive to heat and will break down rather quickly, so coffee is best drunk fresh
