[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are you saying - that it’s passe or that it’s annoying? My close friend loves to have coffee after dinner. I know I have to make her an espresso drink after dinner no matter what. It’s not that upsetting to me. She’s my friend so I want her to enjoy herself in my home. [/quote] NP. It is passe in that no one except Boomers still expect/ask for it. It’s not part of dinner party culture anymore, and hardly anyone of any age orders it out at a restaurant anymore. Even as long ago as the 90s, Bourdain was making fun of coffee-with-dessert and (worst of all) decaf people in “Kitchen Confidential.”[/quote] People also eat dinner much later now. Isn’t the point of coffee with dessert to perk you up before going out after dinner? Why would anyone headed straight home want a bunch of caffeine? If I drink coffee past 5pm I’ll toss and turn before finally falling asleep. [/quote]
