Ok this reminded me of a another funny coffee story
To me black coffee is just that -black without milk
So I was once in coffee shop in israel. Since I don't eat any dairy
I asked if they might have soymilk. They said they don't. So wanting to be all sophisticated I spoke in hebrew.

So I said "beseder, az bevakasha kaffe shachor" which to me translates to black coffee.
Right?
Wrong!
Those of you in the know, are already laughing by now....

To those of you unfamiliar:
In israel Turkish coffee is called "kaffe shachor" and is brewed ground beans that is put into your cup and it settles in the bottom of the cup, like a lump of mud.
‎
So, I had no idea. I took the cup, added sugar, mixed well and took a gulp.‎
And spat it right out.

I walked up to the counter and said "there's something wrong with your coffee machine"
Waiter "our machine is fine, what's the prob?"
Me "oh there's tons of coffee mud in my cup"
Group of waiters: burst out laughing: "that's what you ordered! Kaffe shachor!"
Me "yes that's a coffee without milk"
Waiters still laughing (I think they had tears streaming down their faces from laughter "no, not insrael! ever heard of Turkish coffee? That's how we call kaffe shachor"‎
Smile

‎
I still laugh all these years later‎

I once had an experience like this in a very upscale restaurant that has a bar etc We ordered a real pricey alcoholic drink and it arrived. I drank it , savoring every costly sip and when I got to the bottom , discovered a large fly!
When I complained, The very generous waiter asked me if I'd like to order a new drink ( at my own expense!!!)

I once bought a fruit smoothie and sipped from the straw a bee. The store owner is a family member, my hub called him n he said, come back I'll give u a new one..I was grossed out.

My mother once found a cigarette in a piece of cake. Puke

Bees can land in smoothies but cigarettes do not walk into cake batter.

We had guest for shabbos who bought us a fancy bottle of chocolate liquor. Well while sipping my liquor I felt a hard round thing in my mouth. I ALMOST (shudder) just crunched and ate it because it's probably a piece of hardened chocolate right? but I spat it out on a napkin and the piece of chocolate had legs.
