Yes, Bert, I realised it was Turkish coffee, as I was sitting outside at a cafe in Turkey. But I don't think I could ever acquire a taste for it.
In the Royal Infirmary in Edinburgh during the sixties, I got a student job on the wards (relief auxiliary nurse). We nurses had ghastly NHS coffee, a horrid greyish brew with a sour taste (some cheapo instant with powdered milk) But my job was to make The Doctors' Coffee. (curtsey) Real coffee grounds, roasted in a pan then percolated. It smelled absolutely delicious, the beasts.
