Quotation of the Day for September 26, 2010"Although they be destitute of Taverns, yet have they their Coffa-houses, which something resemble them. There sit they chatting most of the day; and sippe of a drinke called Coffa (of the berry that it is made of) in little China dishes as hot as they can suffer it: blacke as soote, and tasting not much unlike it..." - Sir George Sandys (1577-1644), on encountering coffee-houses in Turkey in 1610.
