someone's been reading the observer food monthly!
Really ? Didnt know but might give it a try. Use lots of milk right ?
I cut out tea for about half a year after bad flu kept me from drinking it for a week. I got worried about the crippling headaches that I suddenly realised ... weren't flu. It's odd to feel addiction that physically. Coasted fine in uncaffeinated splendour until I got bored of feeling calm & flat & uninspired. Honestly, life was just so much more interesting with that fluttery edge of paranoia.
Terence McKenna was kindof talking out of his arse though. Every cell in the body of every single centenarian in the whole of Britain is utterly soaked in tea.
Unless coffee is wildly different than tea.
Is it?
i suggest replacing with meth
Tea, on the other hand, has a mild, pleasant aftertaste (as does the popular hot drink of the same name, BOOM BOOM!).
now this is the single finest thing i have ever read on this board.
did you know that the reason east asian bodies can not process alcohol as efficiently as Europeans is because of the 2 different methods used to solve the problem of bacteria in drinking water:
europe: drink fermented juice with water to kill germs - alcohol
asia: boil water and put herbs in it - tea
and after quite a few centuries of this our bodies produce different or different quantities of enzymes...

very interesting, i've often wondered why that's the case. i can certainly pack it away when i want to though, must be my half english genetics kicking in.
that is so cool chaotropic. how long were you there? on vacation? did they speak english or do you speak mongolian?
but really i'm from jupiter.
I was in the Gobi for a month looking for the Mongolian Death Worm as part of my cryptozoology expedition nonsense. Didn't find it. The place completely blew my mind though ... crazy stuff happening all the time. Spoke to a Russian scientist who told me completely seriously that he'd seen lightning strike a well in the deep desert & a dragon fly out of it & spiral off into the stormclouds. Mongolian tribesmen talking about digging dinosaurs out of frozen rivers & using them as food during the winter. More than bog-standard amazing shit. & crazy topography. Dodged six tornadoes in a jeep driving on a flat plain like a Dali landscape. Mistaking mountains for clouds. etc. & the Mongolians themselves are brilliant ... like a super-earthy weirdly shamanic mix of Russians, brawling Scotsman & Siberian shaman. They're tough as shit & really hilarious, with no sense of personal space. Plus they play ping-pong as well as the Chinese
You'd love it. The throat-singing alone makes it worth a trip.
Actually, Luka, does that sound like a 'flat white',
