No no no, that's just wrong.

Horrific? Perhaps . . . but think about the lounge clientele and the countless dietary perversion posted heretofore. It won't be long before they crumble bacon into their coffee. Cheese? Bacon? Scylla! Charybdis! And they'll move on to tea, as well. I've oft pointed out there's no cure for stupid. Neither, I'd wager, is there a cure for bad taste.

yeah, that's just wrong. Like wrong on an international, no, galactical level.

Apparently it can help with weight loss. I have tried it a few times and it's not too bad.

Strangely enough, I haven't seen that flavour combination on Masterchef, but ... it's not as bad as cheese in coffee!

I think a chocolate coffee is common enough. We have the Wiener melange, which is choco coffee, but which is not how they drink it in Vienna :laugh: We also have the choco coffee, which has less choco than the Wiener melange, I think. I found both to have too few chocolate so I now take an espresso and add a cup of hot chocolate to it. It all comes from our coffee vending machine at the office. Basically, I don't drink coffee, but I sure as hell need my shot sometimes. By sweetening it with chocolate (which has lots of sugar from those machines) it becomes bearable.

Never heard about it until now. But after having checked it out it seems to be something people in Tornedalen are doing. Tornedalen is a valley on the northern border between Sweden and Finland, and about as representative for scandinavia as the Orkney islands are for the Irish. :)

I think you need to include more than just Tornedalen. I think most of the samis use or at least used to have "kaffeost" in their coffee. They also used to put salt in the coffee. My mother used to make "kaffekött", translates to coffeemeat, which basically was ribs of a "cow" in the oven for some time, I don't have the recipe and she's gone to a place where she can't answer any questions, so I don't know how long. Since I don't drink coffee I don't know exactly how it would alter the taste of coffee. It was fairly salty so I imagine it wold be a bit like salt in the coffee.

I have argued this with lots of USAnians who insist that in English (or rahter: American) language, "Scandinavia" includes Finland. No matter what the Scandinavians themselves say. Obviously, any language is free to redefine whichever term it wants to, but it is rather uncommon to do so with names. If Scandinavians claimed that "In our languages, USA does not extend to the west of the Missisippi", we are in principle free to do so, but I guess lots of USAians would have strong objections to the definition. Scandinavia is Denmark, Norway and Sweden. The Nordic countries is a larger group, including Finland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands. I have never seen cheese made from reindeer milk in any grocery store in Scandinavia. I have never been offered it, never tasted it. Reindeer is herded by the Sami indigenous people. Traditionally, the Norwegian and Sami population has had very distinct cultures (today, the borderlines are blurred, though), the Sami, as well as the Finns, coming up form Hungary a few thousand years ago. The Finish and Sami languages split apart about 2000 years ago, but belong to the same language group as Hungarian - very distant from the Scandinavian languages. The Sami certainly has a number of food traditions that Scandinavians find rather peculiar. If a Sami told me about this reindeer cheese soaked in coffee, I would certainly trust it to be a Sami tradition. But it is certainly not Scandinavian style. (We do make cheese from sheep and goat milk, though, but that is something different. Also, if you have been served the brown "goat cheese", commonly used on waffels, it is strictly speaking not a cheese, but what is left as whey, a byproduct when you remove the cheese from the milk, and then boiled to evaporate most of the water.)

Totally out of my sphere of knowledge. You're probably right.

This is what happens when a society doesn't understand what coffee actually is. First it's the burned beans, the syrups, the whipped cream and caramel sauces, and now cheese. They really need to go into the room of mirrors and have a good, hard look.
