Search The Punch keywords http://www.thepunch.com.au/search/ http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/full-cream-fascists-just-let-me-have-milk-in-my-coffee/ Coffee snobbery is getting out of control. The other night my request for a dash of milk in a post-meal espresso at a hip new eatery drew a firm shake of the head. “We do not have milk,” the French owner sniffed. She didn’t mean they’d run out - they simply don’t serve milk with coffee. Not a drop. Much like Seinfeld’s Soup Nazi, eatery owner Catherine Chauchat sets high standards for her patrons. Her chalkboard menu vetoes soft drink, and a cup of any tea other than obscure herbal digestives is out of the question. And you can bet if she ever puts steak on the peasant-style menu, eaters won’t have the option of it served well done. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Antony McMullen) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/full-cream-fascists-just-let-me-have-milk-in-my-coffee/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/full-cream-fascists-just-let-me-have-milk-in-my-coffee/#item166 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:00:12 +0000 M30o93H7pQ09L8X1t49cHY01Z5j4TT91fGfr
