Me neither. The hotelier must have learnt the American name for whatever it
is. I assume it's filter coffee.
Possibly I mis-remember.
The guy I was talking to knew what I was talking about when I described
it and he told me what word to say to get what I wanted.
It's been five years, could be that it was "filter coffee" he told me to
ask for.
Funny how memory works. Some things stay and some things fade away.
It was at a food vendor inside Queen Street Railway Station in Glasgow.
I remember it was to the right as you came in the main entrance off
George Square, and it had a little fenced off seating area. It was very
similar to the kind of establishment you find in an American shopping
mall "food court".
I got some sort of sweet pastry & a cup of coffee in a paper cup that
was too hot to hold at first, even after I wrapped it in several paper
napkins.
I know it was not the Burger King, and it was not the COSTA (been
googling like mad trying to find a photo on-line).
