My cousin, who's a Fisherman from the North of Iceland, taught me this taxonomy of coffee, in descending order of goodness:
1. Cafe Royale: coffee with cognac.
2. Cafe Normale: coffee with whiskey.
3. Cafe Brutale: coffee with nothing.
I drink a lot of Cafe Brutale--and I've never seen anyone who wasn't Icelandic put whiskey in coffee. (those people will drink anything--seriously.) For me, it's coffee with 1% milk.
