Sorry if I seem thick, but may I ask what this is for? Thunderhead(talk)(Check out my RFA test) 21:35, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thunderhead, for those of us who don't like tea all that well (or want something else to drink) this is the place to go... granted I don't really expect much use off it... WN:TEA is alot better. terinjokes User Page / Talk 01:34, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, sounds good, interesting concept! Thunderhead(talk)(Check out my RFA test) 02:02, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This reminds me of a Douglas Adams quote:
Quote

One or two Americans have asked me why it is that the English like tea so much, which never seems to them to be a very good drink. To understand, you have to know how to make it properly. There is a very simple principle to the making of tea and it's this - to get the proper flavour of tea, the water has to be boiling (not boiled) when it hits the tea leaves. If it's merely hot then the tea will be insipid. That's why we English have these odd rituals, such as warming the teapot first (so as not to cause the boiling water to cool down too fast as it hits the pot). And that's why the American habit of bringing a teacup, a tea bag and a pot of hot water to the table is merely the perfect way of making a thin, pale, watery cup of tea that nobody in their right mind would want to drink. The Americans are all mystified about why the English make such a big thing out of tea because most Americans have never had a good cup of tea. That's why they don't understand. In fact the truth of the matter is that most English people don't know how to make tea any more either, and most people drink cheap instant coffee instead, which is a pity, and gives Americans the impression that the English are just generally clueless about hot stimulants.

I re-assure you Bawolff, the tea (along with coffee and lemonade, etc) is made tranditionally. It is made the proper way, not suited to your personal needs. Best of all, its made by a kind chef :-D. terinjokes | Talk | Come visit the WikiBistro 20:21, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
But the bigger question is do they serve the hot chocolate with the letter marshmellows in them? (: 24.65.52.2 23:04, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
