When I took my 600 hours of German language classes, most of my classmates were Turkish, and the women invited me into their circle and fixed me this wonderful tea every day during the breaks. It is not only a wonderful tea, but there is a very strong social aspect to being invited to share the tea and take a tea break. I loved it. sorry this took me so long to get back, it is brewed very very strongly with special black tea from Turkey, in a lovely pot which I cannot describe if I tried, and often people add hot water to it, and sugar, and serve it in these tiny hour glass shaped clear glasses.

I love to get one sometimes. It was a lot of pocket coffee. But sometimes I just brought a thermos of espresso from home or chocolate or both, OR the pocket espresso. Have you have Turkish coffee or Turkish Tea, yet, Robin? Good Strong stuff! Ferraro makes them, too, take a look at wikipedia (under Kinder Surprise) fascinating eggs. I love to get one sometimes.

Also true that there is WAY more competition now in the high-end chocolate world -- and don't think they're keeping up.
