OT: Some things are wrong like espresso with olive oil

Stopped for an espresso this a.m. to warm up at a Starbucks. WTH?

Buying coffee from Starbucks was your first mistake.

They've been doing this for a while now. It isn't totally insane to use olive oil, its a fat, much like milk. Also seems borderline sane seeing as a large portion of the U.S. puts Coffee Mate in their coffee, which is mostly corn syrup and hydrogenated vegetable oil

I've had two of them now....the first at Starbucks was not so (surprise) good, but the one I had at a Indi coffee place was quite nice.

Oh. I thought Coffee Mate was made of recycled automobile dashboards and bumpers. If you forced me drink that stuff I’d have to give up coffee forever, which would make me very unhappy.

What'll really bake your noodle is a long espresso (what the Italians would call an Americana) with a teaspoon of Ghee butter.

I swear by it.

I love pineapple on pizza.
I put sweet chili sauce in my avocado and chicken sushi rolls.
There are no rules.

My favorite thing about this is seeing folks online complain about the laxitive like effect it has on them!

Starbucks is underrated. We have a zillion coffee shops here in #AVL, and Starbucks is solid 66% percentile for tastyness (per my calibrated tastebuds). It will rarely be the best cup of coffee you'll drink, but it'll always be pretty good. Its also on dead consistent, whether its in a grocery store, a Target or a standalone store, which is very impressive.

Just don't get the drip coffee at the coffee shop. Starbucks drip is disgusting, which is weird because we buy the Italian roast beans at the grocery and they're fantastic through our coffee maker at home.

There is only one cardinal rule - pineapple on pizza is verboten!

Agreed. Pineapple and ham pizza is a nice break from pepperoni/sausage/"normal" toppings.

Ha, yeah, I was thinking that the people who don't complain love the effect.
