And? That account says:

1. Denim is not an American invention.
2. Jeans (the fabric) is not an American invention.
3. Denim garment, apparently including trousers (pants), is not an American...

Sigh. So what exactly did they invent? The way trousers (pants for you Rightpondians) are made and look like? Nonsense. Denim? Of course not. Blue denim? Doubt it. And I prefer black denim anyway.

Would anyone explain how jeans were seriously invented in America if that highly reputable wikipedia says:

[i]Jeans were invented in Genoa, Italy when that city was an independent Republic, and a...

And 126 years after, when Algore invented the Internet, did that happen in California, too?

Like I said, baseball caps are all that remains of the "American Style". Blue jeans can hardly be considered "American Style" these days. And if you go nitpicking, I shall mention the city of Nimes...

What's so American about the lads in the picture?

I take it you do go near the kind of teenagers I pictured in my previous post. I am glad I am not near you.

Last time I checked, I could not see three hundred kilogram piles of stale fat in wheelchairs chewing a double cheeseburger (eleventh for the day, flushed with 0% fat cholesterol free organically...

Do you also have a large box of sand with your cezve? Or is it electrically operated?

Give me a break.

JB, are you unable to read? I am not talking coffee stands or cafes (I might, but that would be a digression). I am not talking about gourmet stores either. I am talking about what Joe Six Pack...

There is just one "coffee" that is 100% American. And this is what I've been talking about. This is the liquid that you consume at home, usually at breakfast. Or it is what you grab on your way to...

Here is an example: I can take an apple and then "make it" by doing nothing and then eat it. If the apple was good, I am going to enjoy it. Now, I can take an apple and "make it" by chopping it into...

JB, would you describe the basic ingredients, processes and equipment that are used in the US to make what you call "coffee"?

How can you be serious about something you've never tasted?

Sugar kills anything. It also kills the taste of bad tea. So does milk. And lemon. If for whatever reason someone wants to drink bad tea, then the taste has to be obfuscated with sugar, milk, lemon,...
