Coffee Beans on the Coffee Plan, Picture taken in Coorg
Let me make it clear first, I love tea. Coffee comes after it. But it was exciting to walk through coffee plantations in Coorg in December last year. The trip to Coorg was sponsored by Club Mahindra and I actually brought back two coffee beans thinking I would dry them and use them. But alas, such idea feel good only while you are away from home base. Back at home it soon boils down to routine.
Hot Coffee at Club Mahindra, Coorg
I had this coffee one evening at Club Mahindra, Coorg. The coffee in itself was quite good but the presentation was so eye catching that I had to take a picture. In fact, a colleague of mine from the Hotel school side once told me a story about the presentation of food at hotels. He used to work at a five star hotel and for breakfast buffet they had to worry a lot about presentation. For a 7.30 breakfast the preparations would start the previous night and the floral prsentation or the design of the fruit basket, or scons he told me, was more tricky than making the dishes itself. He said his shift manager would give them a real tough time over the decoration part. So, now whenever I see good presentation of food, I am aware of the hard work behind it!
Lovely post..coming from a coffee background , Im addicted to tea too, though at one time coffee was my favourite beverage
Thanks Lakshmi, I have recently developed taste for black coffee!
I’ve never been to a coffee plantation.Thanks for posting the photo!:)
Sidhu, it was a first for me too.
So this is the image taken by you of the coffee cup etc that the Hindustan Times publication stole and published in one of their issues.Plagiarism is a polite word. The correct usage is theft. Welcome to the world of Indian newspapers and magazines who have no compunctions in stealing images and putting them up. I have any number of such issues which I have not been following up.To top it all even if they were to pay money, it is a scandalously low figure they want to pay. I prefer not to sell images to Indian publications as they pay almost next to nothing.It is good you are making an issue about it.
Ezee123 many thanks for your support. If you have document any of your incidents then do give me the link to them, I wish to make a webpage documenting all the known media plagiarism issues.
What can I do with the left over coffee I have everyday? Does anyone have a recipe or an idea to use left over coffee? Maybe in a meal once a week or in a drink? Thanks.
That is a tough one for me Coffee Percolators.
