As many of you probably know, I don't really really drink any type of coffee or alcoholic beverages. There's no particular reason other than I just don't like them (note: coffee ice cream 1) is not a drink, and 2) has so much sugar and fat added to it such that it no longer qualifies as coffee). So, you may be a bit surprised to hear that, in the span of two days, I tried some wine and had part of a cappuccino. The wine (eluded to in a previous post), was at lunch in Rome and on the house. Since I wasn't paying enough attention to politely refuse it, I felt guilty about letting it go to waste and tried some. It was actually carbonated and tasted (to me) like champagne, which I really don't like. I don't think I made it through even half the glass before my guilt faded and I stopped drinking. The coffee was at dinner along with a slice of cake. Although it was actually Minal's drink, I had a few sips to see what all the fuss was about Italian cappuccino. Not being a coffee connoisseur, I couldn't really tell the difference from the stuff back home.
Alas, a trip to Europe may have increased my willingness to try these drinks, I have yet to acquire a liking of them. Maybe it's for the best, anyway, since alcohol is expensive everywhere and we're moving out of the coffee capital of Seattle. But who knows, maybe we'll go to a pub in London and I'll have a beer. :)
