Turkish Coffee - Legal Drama.

Turkish (Greek, Arabic) coffee is just wonderful. It took me years to get around to make it because the grinds-in-the-cup thing sounded too disgusting. I didn't get it until I finally had some. I made OK progress until an Egyptian friend finally taught me the fine points.

By the way, you don't get grounds in your mouth - trust me. For them what never been - you gotta go...

Also, BOTL mosesbotbol talked up using cardomom pods crushed immediately before use as opposed to using ground cardamom from the spice jar - HUGE difference, that.

That's one animated face with alot of personality Dan!

My work takes me out into the Russian/Armenian community on a daily basis, and I've had the opportunity (most consistantly) in sampling Armenian coffee. So much so, everyone wants to buy me a pot and coffee so I can make it at home (of course I have to turn it all down, but its a nice gesture non the less).

Of course, the Armenian' I come across accuse the Turkisk folks of stealing this form of coffee and calling it all theirs, and I'm sure this possibly crosses lines with the 600 year war at some point in time

Well... the Ottoman empire did cover a lot of grounds.
