So make your way there by cut or road and have a good one. When you do, tell them hi from me, and also tell Liam, the tall young Maori guy who's cheffing there that we send a hug and greetings from NZ. (His grandmother is a friend of ours here.)<br />Cheers, MarilynMarilyn, nb Waka Huiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09485346080040799974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2576670202526573146.post-73611246859829191222015-10-26T22:39:46.000+00:002015-10-26T22:39:46.000+00:00I have emailed Cape of Good Hope pub to ask about ...I have emailed Cape of Good Hope pub to ask about their coffees - will let you know what I hear back.<br />Re where the flat white originated - I am sure it'll become one of those endless debates, a la whether it was Oz or NZ that invented the pavlova or where the famous racehorse, Phar Lap, originated ... <br />As long as better coffee becomes more prevalent, who cares, I say!Marilyn, nb Waka Huiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09485346080040799974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2576670202526573146.post-1925677864755647822015-10-26T22:37:00.207+00:002015-10-26T22:37:00.207+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Marilyn, nb Waka Huiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09485346080040799974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2576670202526573146.post-62639516320189960762015-10-26T21:03:46.742+00:002015-10-26T21:03:46.742+00:00Intriguing, Marilyn!

Almost no cafes do cafetieres here, but it's the style most coffee drinkers here have at home, although a number of people are buying bench-top coffee machines now.<br />If the places you go don't serve flat whites or look as though they don't really understand, you could ask for a black coffee (does the UK do long blacks?) with a jug of heated milk alongside - it's probably the closest you will get.<br />If you have the opportunity to find any NZ-run cafe in England, try them. The baristas will be up with the play. I didn't look or ask, but I wonder if the Cape of Good Hope pub which is run by an NZ woman has a full range. I will look them up!<br />Cheers, MarilynMarilyn, nb Waka Huiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09485346080040799974noreply@blogger.com
