Big cup of milky coffee with little flowers drawn on top in milk. Flat white? Big cup of milky coffee with little flowers drawn on top in milk.

If you're lucky enough to live somewhere near a branch of Kimukatsu (Japan, LA, somewhere in the Philippines, I think), hit them up for "mille feuille" katsu with plum and shiso. So would, both of these. Probably at the same time, albeit I would prefer to avoid sandy beef.

Whenever I've been to Europe or America I just get black coffee. It's still not as good as the coffee in Melbourne but at least it's not just a cup of warm milk that someone waved a coffee bean over.

If you dont see any vietnamese people or feel maybe the south will rise again dont order a cafe au lait. Cafe con Leche?

I don't drink coffee much so I wouldn't know. It is not "pretty much exactly like....", it is literally Tim Hortons' old blend. Tims couldn't keep up the volume on their old blend, so they switched to a poo poo-harvested flash-roasted poo poo blend because that's the only way to get a consistent product at that price point and volume. McDonalds then bought the rights to their old blend.

Megabound posted:How does America deal with having poo poo coffee from every single establishment? I'm dreading visiting because I'm sure no one will know what a latte is. You can get a latte in East Buttfuck. Lattes are ubiquitous here. If you specifically want Australian-style coffee, there are Australian coffee places in New York and LA. If you come next year, there will be Australian coffee places in Boston and San Francisco almost certainly by then. If you come the year after that, they will be in several more cities. The best coffee is Italian, in any case, so go to an Italian coffee shop. Also, judging US or Canadian coffee by McDonald's or Tim Horton's is like judging Australian coffee by, I don't know, Pie Face. We have actual coffee places in North America.

"Australian Coffee" isn't a thing. Its just well made espresso drinks with the addition to the menu of the Aussie 'flat white' which even Starbucks do now. Otherwise it's the same as everywhere else in the developed world. Melbourne just has a higher density of well roasted coffee and good baristas/cafes to make/serve it. What's unique about Australian Cafes is the combination of high quality espresso with small menus of high quality food. That's what you are finding in NYC and apparently LA (I haven't heard of any in the SF bay area yet).

Megabound posted:How does America deal with having poo poo coffee from every single establishment? I'm dreading visiting because I'm sure no one will know what a latte is. First of all, don't be like this, please? The attitude is not necessary. Not because of a cup of hot water. Get over yourself, my god. There are a lot of amazing independent coffee places in the USA. If you're buying coffee at McDonalds, you've already hosed up somewhere (or are in a hurry). Unless you are literally in a town of 932 people in Nebraska, there is more than likely a good cup of coffee somewhere very close to you. Go on Yelp, ask around. If you think the revolting diarrhea water that other nations call an Americano is representative of the coffee culture as a whole...well, I think you're wrong. I'm sure other people will disagree with me, but I come from a town of fewer than two thousand people and even we had a place that roasted their own beans.

I think by "one" they meant "a place that serves high quality espresso with small menus of high quality food," which was what you implied was somehow unique to Melbourne. (You've never been to Italy, I take it?) If you want Australian food in particular, you're probably out of luck in SF, though we have a couple of places here in Boston you might like. Edit to add: apparently you can get pies in Vallejo and San Jose now!) AlbieQuirky has a new favorite as of 07:19 on Feb 23, 2017 |

Hee hee~~~ I saw at least three Australia-themed bars and pubs in Barcelona last month. There was one in Bournemouth when I lived there, too, but I never stopped in for the kangaroo burg because I was a vegetarian at the time. I'm curious about kangaroo meats.

I made roo burgers a few years back when me and my friends had a weird meat and cheese bbq with kangaroo, ostrich and crocodile. Don't remember what the cheeses were but we bought them all from a local exotic meat and cheese shop. I guess I'd say the closest thing it reminded me of was elk or bison? Definitely less fatty than beef

Usually it ends up in sausage (the boar) but the roo ends up getting sous-vide and it's great. I still need to smoke a large chunk of roo bc it would be like brisket imo.
