So according to today's newspaper, Austrians spend €150 million on diets, annually. Which is dumb, seeing as how since the point of a diet is to lose weight by reducing calories, it should save you money. Like me at breakfast this morning - all I had was some nut-chocolate protein concentrate with milk.
Likewise, 4'20" into the studio recording of "Whole lotta love" is, today at least, the crowning moment of if not Western music, rock and roll.
Posted at October 30, 2003 08:56 AMI saw that you mentioned Stroh Rum and tea... do you know what kind of tea? I manage a small loose tea shop in Canada and a customer told me that they had rum and tea in Germany but didn't know what kind of tea was used (e.g. Ceylon, Assam, Darjeeling, Chinese)Do you know or know where I could find out?
Many thanks,

So that was you in the statistics doing the google search for Stroh rum + tea. I just asked my resident Stroh Rum and tea expert what sort of tea goes into the rum and she said, "black." I asked if she could be more specific and she said, "just black". It's generally just a strong, black tea. They do have loose tea shops here in Austria too, but they are very much a minority consumer group. Tea is pretty much tea here.
