    Why is this stuff so bad????????

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    It's really strong, thick coffee which you spoon can stand up in. Personally I hate coffee, so an even stronger flavour is foul for me.

    Tasting "bad depends..

    I do not like the bitter taste much, so that I stay away from too much pepper and bitter kinds of spices.. I also don't like coffee - any types. Tea is the king.

    However, there are so many people mad at peppers and spices almost "to burn off" their mouth. Bitter thrives your hunger, that's the general -and practical- belief..

    Turkish coffee has some features that should be kept an eye on for a good taste. You need the genuine "Turkish coffee cup" as small as 3-4 full dessert spoon can fill. And the most vital quality that a Turkish coffee is prepared well is the layer of bubbles at the surface of the coffee. Families who visit another, to take a promise for their sons from the host family's girl for marriage, may take a close look at with the girl's ability to cook. And The Turkish Coffee is a good estimator for the cooking skills of the girl. I love my culture, so pretty and different..

    Especially in the city of Kahramanmaras (or Maras during the Independence War. They had the prefix Kahraman (= hero) after the War.), there is a coffee type called Mirra. Only the local people who are already used to the regional food & drink culture can drink it. They say it's hell bitter. You can't imagine how much..

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    Wow, I'm hearing Turkish rumors from foreigners ! I don't want this to turn out like the "Turkish Apple Tea" stuff.

    I did not hear such a thing. And there were never news like that. Who told you this actually?

    Turkish coffee is made up from the coffee naturally grown. The specialty is about the processing and the serving part. It's unlikely for it to cause leprosy.

    The English word is leprosy, a leper is the person with the disease.

    Thanks, by the way, that's a coffee rumor that will now haunt me for the rest of my life. Hope you're happy that I will never sleep normally again.

    My family seems to love it. I've tried it a couple of times but I'm not big on coffee. I like my espresso for now just fine.

    I don't mind the bitterness, the problem is that it's so little of it to drink. Like 5 tea spoons. GAH!
