The “Americano” coffee drink, meaning “American coffee” in Italian, is believed to have originated during World War II when American soldiers stationed in Italy found the local espresso too strong and diluted it with hot water to resemble their preferred drip coffee.
Which means they don’t know/understand the background story and that they are now insulting themselves. Stupid…
What is the background story?
Isn’t this a little funny considering the “freedom fries” Nazi types in America causing all the needless hostility ?
I think it’s funny.
