Examples

“Take⟳ a typical paper hot-drink cup. Add⟳ a scoop (probably the equivalent of 3-4 tsp) of sugar. Fill⟳ the cup about 1/3 to 2/5 full with chocolate chips. Fill⟳ to the brim with nice hot coffee. Let⟳ it sit⟳ for a few minutes, then stir⟳ it a little, and drink⟳ it. You get⟳ this chocolatey-coffeey taste⟳, then you get⟳ to the inch or so of chocolate that didn't mix⟳ with the coffee, which looks horrible but which you eat⟳ with a spoon. Then, you're good to go.”

“You need⟳ to bear⟳ in mind⟳ that flavours are muted at low temperatures. Mixes for sorbets and ice-creams should therefore, in their unfrozen state, taste⟳ a little too sweet, a little too sharp, and a little too fruity (if that's possible). By the same token, chocolate ice-creams should be very chocolatey and coffee ones very coffeey.”

“There is good coffee available in Ireland. You can buy⟳ it in bean (or ground) form⟳ from quite a few shops in many towns and cities. But restaurants mostly buy⟳ dark roast stuff - i.e. incinerated beans of poorer quality which taste⟳ mostly of burnt, with a vaguely coffeey after taste⟳ meant to fool the throngs.”
