FIona's lament

[pegkerr]

Fiona's heartfelt lament at dinner:

"All my favorite television programs are British. All my slang is British. I wear a red coat to the dojo. But I don't like tea!

I utterly fail as an Angliphile

Tell her that Diana Wynne Jones hated tea.

[pegkerr]

I'll tell her!

[barondave]

How is she on the whole Crumpet Thing?

[pegkerr]

She likes those well enough, I think.

Tell her while tea is generally considered a pre-req we can proably ignore it if everything else is anglophilic. Mind you has she tried French Early Grey tea? Its the only one I can stomach.

What is it about tea she doesn't like? It comes in all sorts of tastes, so it might be possible to find one she likes. Camomile tastes nothing like green lemon, which tastes nothing like chai, which tastes nothing like chocolate-almond tea, which tastes nothing like Earl Grey etc. etc. etc.

Of course, if it's hot drinks in general she's not too fond of, then that does complicate matters.

I sympathize. I have never been able to like tea, and my cupboard is full of teas that I have tried and abandoned.
