I did try to learn to drink coffee in my youth, though it was the
chocolate that was the big draw: At my Grandpa's there would be elevensis
of coffee and his home-made chocolate fudge (no-bake) cake, known to the
family as 'kedge', every day at eleven. If you didn't drink coffee you
got to do the washing up from breakfast instead... (You did still get
kedge though, but not the time to sit down and savour it.)
