Latte? Coffee flavoured warm milk suitable as a bedtime beverage for
those with comfort food issues. Girlie drink.
McThingy? Not-sausage and rubber eggs? Yech.
Deserts reconstituted from powder? Bleh.
The one thing about Aus is that you can get a decent expresso coffee
almost everywhere - which is why, unlike the UK, Starbucks has not
been very successful here. Except with those that ac tually drink
warm, slightly coffee flavoured milk shakes.
