Lola at the Coffee House

When prospectors would go out and search for their target treasure, they are often povided with provisons as an investment by backers. The provisonary package was called a "grubstake" because it was a sort of underwriting to provide victuals and supplies to help in the "digging" (which is the ME root of the word grub). SO I believe that "grub" became synonamous with "food provided to a prospector".

Bet it was kind of wormy, too. Grub has several meanings.

Actually goat cheeses are a big joke (like the original BMW which was a very cheap car in the 1960's. BMW couldnt give the things away so they did what anyone would, they turned the entire thing over to a new marketing crew who only did one thing, they merely doubled the price and the BMW "legend" was artificially created in a year)
Goat cheeses are sort of the same thing.
N American Marketing has been behind the gradual growth of preference behind it and the loss of amrket share of more complex and (IMHO),superior cheeses.

Brunch? There isn't really a word to replace it. Combining breakfast and lunch is a fairly normal thing to do in most countries, surely? Not sure why Spendi dislikes the word so much.

A joke? A very tasty joke - and economical in the long run because one needs far less of it for flavour than one does of the more bland varieties. If it were purchased merely because it was in vogue - ah yes, then I'd agree, and say those who purchased it were - well, mistaken is a kind word. But I love, and have loved, the taste and texture of it for many years now.

Oh dear, I don't want to get into an argument about cheese of all things! I love carrot cake too - is that a big joke too?

Grub is what ranch hands chow down on, to be ever more specific.

Brunch means that I missed breakfast in order to have an early lunch. And it was deeeeeeeeeeelicious. Wassau's India food is too too good. And my colleague had two plates full, which is fine, since he always pays. And we made a good marketing plan together based on our workshop experience over the week end. And Lola is going to be on her own once again asap.

I wasn't making a fuss Andrei. I was attempting to make conversation which is a very important ingredient in a respectable coffee-house. In fact, conversation is the sole reason for having coffee-houses. The coffee comes off boats using suction pumps transferring it to 20 ton trucks. A great deal happens to it before it is labelled and niche marketed. Some weaving of the winds is involved. Perhaps someone who has experience in the coffee industry will describe what.

"Brunch" where I come from is associated with the milieu of estate agent's , accountants, middle-level local government officers, lawyers, doctors, dentists, shopkeepers, and suchlike and especially of that of their wives' social circles. It definitely connotes with aspiring, self-improving types.

It was said to derive from having a lie in on Sundays and combining breakfast and lunch into one go in the nosebag. It carried a certain cachet. But it has to be pronounced as H.M The Queen would say it. Brreanche!! say. Otherwise it becomes as silly as the titter who ran around the court in South Africa when the judge made a witticism.

I can't imaging it in Texanese.

Leave it to fm to know the complete story. Thanks you fm. Have you had brunch yet? What's that? It's past time for brunch? Well, have a cookie instead. It's tea time surely.

It could be if you wanted it to be vonny.

Well, fm, I thought the BMW Bernie and I had was a fine car. Dependable, good ride, fast, fancy and beautiful, all in one. So........

And I love the taste of goat cheese. Do you suppose my taste buds have been changed by the marketers? Hummmmmmmm, maybe. Maybe. hummmmmmm.

Spendi is our resident snob, vonny. He's a talented man, so we cut him a lot of slack. But a snob he is, no doubt about it. And he's a good sport about our tolerance too.

Lola tiptoes over to the sofa and gives spendi a nice little kiss on the cheek. Virtual kisses, the best. absolutely

you can investigate on your own. I used to be a part of a "hill climb" team in the early 70's and I raced an MG and an old BMW 2002. The BMW was fast but the body integrity and the other stuff was junk. When they raised the price , over the years the quality begn catching up

Goat cheeses were a real poor mans cheese. Today its a cheese that is served with Puligny Montrachet. ( Used to Pair goat cheese cheddared and other varietals with MAD DOG)

Arguments are encouraged in the cafe, vonny. Please feel free to state your opinion around here. This cafe is not for the shy or overly tender hearted.

.

Cheese of the strivers? or the striver of cheeses?

If 16 hour days are not in your plan Lola you had better have an ace mousetrap. I have 30 years workshop experience at gouging dough out of the mine. I put my success down to the boom periods and keeping enough of the profit which is pretty easy in such periods for the retrenchments.

If the product is a necessity the competition is fierce and if it isn't it needs to be sexy.

He might know the complete story, Lola, but he doesn't tell it. Not by a long chalk.

I couldeat me a Po Buoy. (ats the artser n shhremp n mudbug on a patien wid sauce)


MMMMM SLAP YO MAMA.

Oh I'm sexy spendi. Don't you worry about that.

That's what makes him so interesting.
