New Mexico Piñon Coffee – “Sobre los gustos no hay disputa”

August 18, 2008

The bag lists the ingredients as: “High Altitude Organic Arabica Coffee and Piñon Nuts – May Contain Flavoring” (Germanic capitalization style theirs)

But it should read: “High Altitude Organic Arabica Coffee and Flavoring – May Not Contain Piñon Nuts”

This is such a let down. I was really excited for the idea of roasted piñon in my coffee.

But, no. This is just typical flavored stuff… the likes of which can be found oilily auto-dripping at half past eight on Thursday morning under the shrill whine of flickering fluorescent lights that reluctantly illuminate the slightly soiled, threadbare cubicle walls of an insurance agent’s inner suburban office in a half-abandoned strip mall.

Mundane is what I mean. Not delicious – and, critically, NO PINE NUTS IN EVIDENCE. And I dug around in the bag as if for a Cracker Jack prize.

I won’t hold it against you, New Mexico.

    Well, you have saved me from having try that- I’d been curious.

    Hey! Thanks for friending me back. I liked how you put the smackdown on that Russian, and you looked interesting :)

      Thanks.

      There doesn’t seem to be sufficient counter-propaganda out there, and I hate to see Russians engage in that sort of argumentum ad nauseam where this war is concerned. This isn’t fucking 1955 after all.

      I actually have a backlog of entries right now, but I can’t convince myself to write about trivia. Glad I could save you from this coffee, though. I keep hoping I got a bunk bag – but I don’t think so.

Here's where you talk:
