A nice cuppa

In this time of globalisation one often wonders what cultural elements define oneself. Being half Dutch, half English you ask yourself which habits come from which culture. One blatantly obvious habit is the drinking above average amounts of very strong tea. The tea pot is rarely empty in my house so a regular supply of new tea bags has to imported from Blighty. The Dutch usually drink their tea very weak, but in our family we like it pitch black...but only if it is English tea! I am the black sheep in the family, as it were, as I drink my tea without milk. I guess that is my Dutch half taking the upper hand...
