Did I ever write on here about my recent experience of charcoal bread?

I remember going to Italy and the best coffee was something you’d find in a fucking service station. It made me re-evaluate paying through the nose for ‘wanker’ coffee over here.

Not that I know of, but I would like to learn more

Thing is I have no reliable frame of reference for what good coffee is supposed to taste like. I can understand that freeze dried instant coffee tastes rough (and has a sort of cereal taste someone mentioned upthread), however I’ve had coffee from swanky places, taken one sip and immediately thought “this tastes like pure chemicals”. Also I think coffee tastes better from a French press than from a machine? However that’s wrong isn’t it because a machine is supposed to be the ideal method… right?

do you smoke? knew a guy that was a heavy smoker for like 20 years and he could barely taste anything. loved insanely hot vindaloo (like he would have to eat it with his shirt off and a towel round his neck) since it was the only thing he could taste

pretty grim

yeah that’s wrong. you should be barred from cafes for having incorrect opinions.

bought some lavazza recently because it was cheaper than the stuff I normally get

seems quite 70s. I have not used it yet. though I’ve almost 100% sure I’ve had it before so I’m not sure why I’m acting like it’s a novelty

Which instant tastes as good as fancy coffee?

I was at a country show last weekend and a stall holder had three types of bread; a traditional plain loaf, an oniony olive loaf and a charcoal loaf. She was talking all about the benefits of the charcoal loaf which I didn’t care about I just wanted to buy the black loaf cause it looked stupid. Anyway it was rubbish - all gritty like eating beach sandwiches and you get black bread grit in your teeth. I made a chip butty out of it but the whole thing was stupid. Charcoal bread is a thing and it’s a con. I think maybe a million types of coffee is a con also.

I feel like there’s enough in this to warrant its own thread. Would be surprised if there isn’t one already.

(This is the only positive I can think of)

Think it’s been mentioned a few times, not sure if there’s been a dedicated thread yet

You would be weeing liquid cheese out of your willy.

instant coffee tastes like instant gravy and vice versa
