Flat White

[Lee Scoresby]

New Zealanders! Clustering upon East Dulwich in some vast atavistic migratory movement.

Is that true . . ? Then who are they . . ? What do they want . . . ?

Beneath those impossibly chirpy exteriors, what sinister truth lurks?

Are they . . . the lizard people?

Flat white, flat white . . . that's an accent description, no?

The truth, mate, is out there. Too bloody right.

Lee Scorseby, as it may be

Watch out Lee Scorseby, we will hunt you down...

[EDKiwi]

Sshhh, he's on to us...

[felt-tip]

"back home...[life is so perfect].."

[Brendan]

It's somewhere in Yorkshire isn't it?

[woofmarkthedog]

No...

It's a new Farrow & Ball colour

( isn't it ? )

W**F

[RosieH]

Oh Woof, you're such the sophisticate...

[Brendan]

I was looking at a house once and the women tried to sell it to me on the grounds that it had Farrow and Balls paint in the kitchen.

?Because the type of paint you have on your walls means something? Oh do fuk off.?

is what I would have liked to have said but of course I am far too polite.

Anyway what?s the skinny with this? I was in caf? Nero the other day and noticed they were advertising flat white. It?s just a cappuccino without the froth isn?t it?

[felt-tip]

its just a lukewarm latte served up by irrepressible staff that dress like chuggers.

[Moos]

It was a super-cool drink to order I think in 2007 when they weren't on the menu. I've never had one, but I think it's what my mother has been making at home for years and calling it a milky coffee.

[Moos]

Nothing wrong with Kiwis though.

[Brendan]

High in vitamin C they are.

EDIT: Spilling

Flat white coffee

The milk is frothed & heated as you would a cappuccino, BUT then the milk jug is tamped firmly on a flat surface a fair few times to loose the larger bubbles. The result is a micro fine smooth froth, which is poured onto the coffee below & done well it's pretty blinkin' perfect

Tim at the Franklins farm shop does it very nicely indeed

W**F

I see, so cappuccino without the froth then.

[Moos]

Damn, you edited before I could write my hilarious musical response involving greetings sung in the pitch of C.

[Brendan]

Doh!

No...

It still has froth BUT it's micro "ultra" froth ( sheeesh ....it's getting like Dragons Den in here ) so it's less milky

" Capiche "

W**F

[Brendan]

So super Olympic, ninja froth then.

More importantly, is this thread really going to fill the much needed niche for Simpsons/Sound of Music inspired, intonation based jokes?

[Moos]

Funny man
