ST LOUIS, MO—In an ecumenical council convened in St. Louis last week, the use of decaf coffee was condemned as rank heresy.
The evangelical summit unanimously voted to define as heresy the "belief that decaf coffee is of any value, and good for anything other than being trampled under foot."
"It is a wolf in sheep's clothing. It devours the unsuspecting. It doesn't even taste good, for crying out loud," said renowned New Testament scholar NT Wright during the summit. "I call on Christians of all stripes to forcefully reject this imposter gospel."
The council rejected a motion to name Keurig K-cups anathema, claiming the use of such brewers falls under the umbrella of "Christian liberty." Pumpkin spice was also almost condemned, but that motion was narrowly defeated by the summit's female attendees.
Non-alcoholic beer was also condemned at the summit.
Anathema!
Amen. You can add cheese pizza and bean burritos to the list.
Decaffeinated coffee is like dehydrated water.
I was going to post about what Jesus said about salt that has lost its saltiness but it was there already - it is only good for trampling underfoot.
Decaf coffee and alcohol free beer are like kissing your sister.
I use a cheese pizza as a test for a pizza joint - would this pizza be good as just cheese or does it require toppings? Are the crust, sauce and cheese great or are they merely adequate for topping? Where I live there is only one place which passes that test.
Decaf is the Devil’s work!!!
When someone goes into a restaurant and orders a why bother what do they want? Decaf coffee.
You not only win this thread but the entire Internet for today.
On this point I always defer to the pizza snobs in my clan. They hail from Manhattan and their standards are in the stratosphere. In PA they won't touch a pizza unless it comes from the local Domino's. They consider it a miracle, a good pizza springing forth from a grotto in the hinterlands.
Sadly, there are no similar miracles for seafood.
As for decaf, some folks are sensitive to caffeine and a spoonful of decaf helps ward off tachycardia.
Somehow, I’m reminded of this verse
About the bean burrito... Let’s start off with chili. Chili spicing was necessitated/invented to disguise meat of both questionable origin, and questionable states of decomposition. So we got chili out of the way here.
Next the bean burrito... I went to different parts of Mexico, Even worked there a little bit (under contract of course). And they make a burrito out of anything. If you live near the coast where people fish you eat fish burritos. If you live in the area where there is rancheros you eat beef or goat burritos. If you live in a lush part of the country you eat vegetable burritos. If you live in a place that is very poor and all you get is pinto beans and maybe a little piece of ham or something to flavor it with you are going to be eating bean burritos.
I don’t have nothing to say about pizza except that every country has its pancake, just as every country has its hot sauce. And that’s all I know about pizza, It’s Italy’s pancake just like the fajita is Mexico’s pancake.
I was in Burlingame California years ago and I was taking a walk and I came across a repurposed Wienerschnitzel fast food restaurant that had been converted into a Mexican Burrito Joint. I went in there and I ordered a bean burrito and they put together this two foot bean burrito and wrapped it up in Aluminum foil and handed it to me and it was dirt cheap. So I took it back to the monastery where I was staying... (Nice place but it was very odd for my company to have found this place and put us there in a group setting)... Anyway, the burrito survived though 3 Mile Walk back to the monastery. I got back to my room opened that thing up and I went down hall past the community bathroom and community shower to the community kitchenette and heated it back up in the oven, and I think it was probably the best bean burrito I have ever eaten. I knew it was authentic because I was only English-speaking person in that converted Wienerschnitzel Restaurant.
Actually had this happen at work....once. Never again.
Way back, when I had a roommate, his GF worked at Gillette, and the company owned Braun, iirc.
I had just finished off a pot of coffee one morning, and they show up with her employee-discount Braun espresso maker.
I had the jitters for a while after trying the various concoctions the machine made.
Here, here. Just like non-alcoholic beer (spit).
Fake coffee
Fake beer
Fake woman
Nonsense.
I have drunk decaf since 1974 because of a health issue.
I love the taste of coffee.
Have found the BEST water decaffeinated beans in a number of different bean mixes and roasts. Water decaf has been difficult to find recently.
