KAFFE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have I ever mentioned Sweden and my's mutual love affair with coffee?  While there is an American brand that still has my heart, I have never once had a bad cup of coffee in Sweden. 


OK - so the following is great.  I love it!


Sweden has unique words that mean seconds and third helpings of coffee.  YUP!!!!!  Totally true. The words just refer to coffee.


So: 

Vill du ha kaffe? = "Do you want to have coffee?"
Påtår? = "Do you want to have a second cup of coffee?"
Tretår? = "Do you want to have a third cup of coffee?"  

And the obvious answer to all of these questions is: 


Ja tack! = "Yes thank you!"

Note - although most Swedes I know drink their coffee black, if you go out and want something else, it is often served in a heavy glass.  Which, though attractive in its presentation, has no handle.
