As a Brit I've been converted by Bill Bryson. As he said in an ad over here,
we Brits take a delicious herbal infusion an dunk cow juice in it! So I
bought a single blend tea and tried it. Score one for herbal infusion memes!
I've also converted to the USAian way of coffee. Black and strong. This was
cos I'm lazy. Coffee + hot water. Easy and uncomplicated (and very nice).
Sugar! Blame us Brits for that crap, and rightly so.

Steve
