The French Drinks: Good Taste it
If you order coffee in a café in France (and I surely hope you do) you will receive a small cup of espresso strength coffee. Some places you can get a cup of filtered coffee, known as café à l'américaine. Here are some more terms to help you get your java order filled the way you want: 1.Le Café-For most people in France the day begins with a hot drink. People do use the aptly named French press coffee pot, as well as other home brewing methods, but lots of people drink their coffee at the local bar/café standing at the counter reading the morning news or chatting with friends. Here you can order: Un Café - A small cup of espresso-strength coffee. Un Double - Twice the amount of the same coffee. Une Noissette - Once again this is an espresso, but there is a hint of cream or milk floating on top. Café au Lait - An espresso with hot milk added. Café Léger - Espresso-strength coffee that has been watered down. Chocolat Chaud - Hot chocolate. Lots of times this will be made without sugar - you add the amount you want. Thé - Tea, usually served in a small pot with a cup and sugar alongside it. Thé au Lait - Tea with a small pitcher of hot milk too. Tisane - Herbal tea. Popular herbal teas in France include verbena, lime flower, mint, chamomile, and sage. 2.Soft Drinks-Well if you have survived all of that, you might be wishing for something a little less strong the next day! As everywhere in the world you can have a Coke, just don't forget to call it a coca when you order. The French are even drinking decaffeinated and artificially sweetened sodas this days. Not necessarily progress! Drink syrups are extremely popular in France. You will find grenadine syrup and many other syrups, such as mint, fruit flavors, and even nut and almond flavors. 3.Milk-If you buy milk in France you may be surprised to find it in non-refrigerated plastic bottles or cartons. Although you can find pasteurized milk, most of the milk in France is UHT (ultra haute température), or ultra high temperature treated. This gives the milk a shelf life of many months and is a great convenience to French shoppers who can stock up and avoid some of those last minute dashes to the grocery store. You will find that UHT milk has a slightly different taste than pasteurized. 4.Eau And finally there is water. The French, just like a lot of Europeans, have been drinking various bottled mineral waters for years. There are dozens of popular brands include Badoit, Contrex, Evian, St. Yorre, and Perrier. Each has a different taste. Some are carbonated to varying degrees and others not at all. Some have a high mineral content and can be good sources of magnesium as well as calcium. It would be a shame to come to France and not try some of the wines. France has numerous wine regions and each specializes in certain sorts of wine. Here are a few terms just to get you started: • vin rouge - red wine • vin blanc - white wine • sec - dry • doux - sweet • AOC - stands for Appellation d'Origine Control. This signifies the wine has to meet certain standards and have been grown in a certain region. Well if you made it through the meal and still would like to try something else, you could order an after dinner drink. Brandies, known as eaux de vie, are popular. You will of course find Cognac and Armagnac, but you might also like to try Calvados, which is a French apple brandy from Normandy. Many people make their own brandies and restaurant owners will often offer you a small glass of their homemade eau-de-vie (on the house) at the end of a meal. After all that food and drink you might like to try one of France's herbal teas to help you digest. Herbal teas are known as tisanes and you can find different ones to remedy just about any situation. Some popular ones include verbena, lime flower, mint, chamomile, and sage. Finally, when raising your glass in France remember these words for the toast: For more information visit<a href="http://www.freecouponsbuzz.com">www.freecouponsbuzz.com</a>

Barry Bonds... Would you???
The eveidence indicates that some of his homeruns were made during seasons where he was using "cream" (AKA steroids)... If you were a pitcher facing Barry Bonds as he chases Babe Ruth's (and ultimately Hank Aaron's) homerun totals, would you: walk him? dot him (hit him)? or pitch like normal?
I'd hit him.
He's a jackass.
