I was surprised to discover that Starbucks took their name from a character in Moby Dick.
Strange but (apparently) true.

If I have to choose? I bite all my nails off and go into tizzy.
Errr... tea. No, coffee. No, tea. No. Coffee. No. Help!
Luckily the choice is swayed for me by whether there is soya milk available or not. I hate my tea black, but can't drink cows milk. Soya milk goes fine in tea but curdles and goes all lumpy in coffee. But I like black coffee. So that normally decides the issue for me on sheer practicality.
Unless it's my Dad making the coffee. You could more or less stand a spoon in it and it makes me shudder he has it so strong. Fair enough if then you fill half the mug with hot milk but I can't... So I endure the almost as bad stewed tea.... I should offer to make the tea more often.

I'm a bit of a Martini girl when it comes to (or martinis for that matter...)
Anytime, anyplace, anywhere, any strength, any flavour!
English breakfast tea in the mornings (preferably brought to me by a slave so I can enjoy it in bed before facing the day)
Several cups of tea at regular intervals throughout the day. Probably mint tea after lunch. Other herbal teas a few times a week.
Coffee.....weeellll. Aversion to has always been the indicator that I am pregnant. I do drink it occasionally, but find the caffeine in it has much more "perk-up" effect than tea, so if it's an after dinner coffee I'll have a decaf, otherwise I know from experience I wont sleep 
A nice Irish coffee though....

"What's the difference between an Irish coffee and a Spanish coffee?"
"Two dollars."
