In infinite wisdom Ramakrishnan Sundaram said the following On 7/29/09
10:12 AM:
Funnily enough, the FBI (in the TV series) works improbably closely
with Dr Brennan. Very intimately, one might say.
No way!
I guess they added that angle to increase the tension in the show. I
watch the series sometimes with my wife (who is addicted to it) and I
think Brennan's and Booth's (the FBI guy) intimacy is much less than
that between Scully & Maulder (X-Files)

I love this planet! I've got wealth, fame, and access to the depths of
sleaze that those things bring.

Bombay is about the only place I see it sold / drunk (never been to
mysore..)
My usual drink in Madras is Leo Top Blend (quite good, nice even
roast with a
chocolatey aftertaste) - but the mysore concerns stuff beats it
hands down.
Lovely dark roast too, and pure coffee. None of that chicory
rubbish at all.
Anywhere I can get the stuff in madras? A quick tour of shops in
adyar turns up
zilch. Google is uncommunicative on this subject. So let's see if
silklist does
better :)

Where did you get this Mysore Concerns coffee, SRS? Did you get the
powder
or drink the coffee? If this was in Blr, let us...or at least
me...know.
There is a perception amongst Tamilians (well, TamBrams) that "pure"
coffee means only Peaberry, no Arabica or (as it is known in Coffee
Board
circles,"Plantation A " and "Plantation B"....or Robusta....I once
had a
long conversation with Sunalini Menon, who used to be a coffee-
taster for
the Coffee Board, and she said that in actuality, in blind tests,
most south
Indians preferred a mix of Peaberry, Robusta, and Arabica..with at
least a
10% blend of chicory! She said that contrary, also, to the
perception that
chicory is Not A Good Thing, adding 10% chicory to the blend did
improve the
strength of the decoction,and boosted the flavour of the coffee
without
taking away from the taste.
So how did this predeliction for "Peaberry" (or is it "P-berry"?)
coffee
come to be?
A friend of mine also got enough Kopi Luwak seeds from his
plantation-owning
pal, to have his mother roast and grind them, and serve them to his
friends,
and he said the taste was smooth and excellent....but whether it
was worth
the kind of expense it would normally involve, is another matter!
Cheers, Deepa.

I hate it. It makes the coffee taste horrible and gives me acid
indigestion. Especially with the cheaper coffee they usually use to
mix
with chicory.

Bombay. Mysore Concerns is one of those years old institutions in
Matunga,
along with other haunts of palakkad and tirunelveli iyers in that area
They're to bombay what india coffee house is (or rather was, once) to
bangalore. And you can drink your coffee there if you like (but I
find that
it makes great black coffee too - so I just buy the powder whenever
I'm in
bombay, which is not too often).
I just wish it was available elsewhere.
