• Lat(t)e Bloomer

  

  Would you believe I never tried a latte before a few weeks ago? I suppose it's not that hard to believe, if you didn't know that I spent the majority of my summer working in a coffee shop. It's true. I worked there for several months, and never tasted the deliciousness that is espresso and steamed milk. I know how to make one, yet it took some prodding from my girlfriend for me to try one. 

  I enjoy coffee. I enjoy coffee with a lot of milk. I don't know why I was so reluctant to try it. My first venture into latte-dom was a hazelnut latte from my college cafe, which serves Starbucks coffee. I was very impressed. Not really surprised, but impressed. I think I was partially resistant because I don't usually like hot drinks. And yes, before anyone says anything, I know iced lattes exist, but the weather has taken a turn for the colder, and so I figured I should have a hot drink that was more sophisticated than a standard hot chocolate. 

  Now, I'm clearly obsessed with hazelnut lattes. Not really, but it's become a running joke with my girlfriend. I'll tell her I don't want to try something, and she'll say, "but you liked the latte!" 

  Do any of you have foods/drinks that you weren't surprised that you liked after you eventually tried it?
