to not know what a chai fecking latte is?

[fryalot]

I don't think I'm the only one either.

So, seriously, what is one?

(apologies if it's tres obvious, don't get out much )

www.teapigs.co.uk/product/tea/Black-tea/chilli+chai I'll be enjoying this when DS has a nap. Mmmmm yummy.

Doesn't contravene all the rules of tea - Chai tea should only be drunk sweet and milky.

I thought chai was tea and latte was milk so it must be milky tea-I am a naughty grandma and have been known to give 4 yr old dgs 'chai latte' as being half an inch of weak tea topped up with milk and drunk with a small piece of cake or a biscuit during the long gap between lunch and tea[otherwise known as pranma's little sit down]:)

This is my newest weekend treat: www.starbucks.com/menu/drinks/tazo-tea/earl-grey-tea-latte?foodZone=9999

Its delicious!

Gingerbread latte, that's want you want, they usually start doing them in Starbucks just before Christmas and they're Fabulous. (Even though I am supposed to hate starbucks.)

The Pumpkin latte has just come out for the fall here too, have not had it though

Help with pronunciation would also be very helpful. So I can really impress my middle-class mummy mates dead proper

I drink chai or lapsang as my tea choice.
I've never had a latte though.

Isn't it the origin of the term 'char' for tea?

Fucking disgusting is what it is.

I ordered one once thinking I would try something new and it was grim. Took it back to the counter and told them I wanted a free replacement with something drinkable.

The gingerbread latte on the other hand is delicious. Can't wait until it is time to do the Christmas shopping :)

Origins of "cup of char"

I think the 'fucking' is silent. Like g in gnome. Certainly the barrista at my local looked as if I hadn't quite caught the pronounciation

IF YOU ARE COMMENTING,THEN TO HONOUR THE POSTER WHO PUT THIS VERY QUANDRY INTO YOUR MIND YOU SHOULD USE CAPS LOCK.

Ah, char! ooooh, my rellies used to ask to a cuppa char in the old days!

pmsl @ silent f*ing in the local starbucks

The ones in Nero are much better than Starbucks, (plus you get the little discount cards - normally I get a small latte but when I've filled up my card I treat myself to a huge mocha chocha chino )

Twinnings Chai Tea is v.nice too, I usually make it like a normal cuppa with just a bit of milk.

me too ohluckyyou

I drink espresso con panna every day then hand my card over to get a caramellatte...

Pagwatch - I have a friend who feels "too guilty" to order the biggest, most expensive drink for her freebie because she normally only has a small hot choc when she's paying for it

WHERE DID THAT THREAD GO?! I WAS ENJOYING IT?!

It's in classics now

I only drink Chai, but not Chai latte. I use the Twinings Chai teabags and they're very nice, though not as nice as my housekeeper in Africa used to make.

Starbucks chai lattes are vile.

WHERE THE FUCK IS CLASSICS?! I JUST SPENT AT LEAST 30 SECONDS LOOKING FOR IT AND I COULDN'T FIND IT - SOMEBODY TELL ME!

STOP SHOUTING!! SHOW SOME DECORUM YOU 4X4DRIVING SNOB.

CAN DRINKING POSH COFFEE CAUSE FOOD ALLERGIES IN OUR DC?

HERE BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU DIDN'T GET A MANSERVANT TO FIND IT FOR YOU.

stop shouting. You are scareing me a little and I have a sensitive constitution.
