Its been slow around here this week so I’m going to post a throwback story from my time in Tenerife. Because I know all of you are loyal readers you know that it is customary for a restaurant to provide a free “chupito” on the house after a meal. On one of these occasions I was really in the mood for an irish coffee. I am quite particular about my irish coffee and I don’t prefer it in the traditional sense and I don’t want any of that gay whip cream on it either. Coffee, whiskey, baileys…that’s it. I began to work through my mind on how to order this en espanol: coffee, café; easy enough; whiskey is just whiskey; pretty hard to fuck that up; but bailey’s is not so easy. My experience in Spain is that they normally do not have the common brands of liquor. So I decided that irish cream was a safer bet.
Me: Puedo tener un café con whiskey y con creama de irelandia (which I thought directly translated to cream of Ireland)
Waiter: Como? (the expression on this man’s face was indescribably awkward)
Luckily there was another patron near by that spoke English and far better Spanish than me.
Patron: You just asked for irish cum in your coffee.
Me:…What!!! Um bailey’s?
Waiter: Ah si bailey’s, no problema
So if anyone is looking for some irish man-juice in Spain. Now you know how to order it.
