Oh Popeye!
Ignorance is bliss, and being the least trendy person in America usually shields me from knowledge of these types of travesties.
However, it recently came to my attention that people are purposely putting olive oil in coffee. I just can’t imagine what a “slicked” up cup of joe would taste like, but the unlikability of the added oiliness seems quite evident. To me, coffee is fine as-is, although I’m partial to half-and-half. There’s dilution, and then there’s pollution.
I’ll save the the olive oil for salads. And pastas. And pasta salads. Why not just throw some butter in there?
Actually, that was another thing I’d been thankfully unaware of until today. Butter. Melted in coffee. The only beverage to be mixed with melted butter is rum. Every Wisconsinite knows that rule. Anything else is an abomination.
It’s like a Simpsons episode come to life:
Homer: “Marge, your pork chops have only two moves. Shake, and bake.”
Marge: “You like ShakeNBake. You used to put it in your coffee.”
I guess if I was with someone who had one, I’d try it, but no way I’d pay for one myself. Has anyone tried one? Would you pay to try one?
