"boston coffee"
Has anyone heard this term for a mixture of half milk, half coffee? My
grandmother, who was born in Mississippi and lived her married life in Arkansas, served me this when I was a child. I have never met anyone who knew this term, even people from Boston. Richard Butler |

I'd bet the term "boston coffee" came out of that practice. |

"boston coffee"
In Spain, we were served "cafe con lecha" which was half hot milk, half hot
coffee. I thought is was great and have made it every once in a while since (microwave milk first) Phil "Richard Butler" > wrote in message ... > Has anyone heard this term for a mixture of half milk, half coffee?
