Coffee as seasoning in food and pastry are to be found all over the world, although not that common. Brazil is an exception. Mostly the Brazilians use coffee in desserts, but also in cooking. Beef à brasileira is a traditional meatstew spiced with a cup of strong coffee and white wine. In Finland strong cold coffe are sometimes added to sauces, preferably when game is served. Coffee lamb is another old Finish speciality: oven baked lamb covered with creamy and sugary strong coffee. Even more odd, at least for a westerner, is the African way of baking bread with coffee. And a Frenchman once tried to brew beer on coffee, soon to find out that the public liked both but not in the same glass. In Italy and France they were first to discover the pleasant mix of coffee and chocolate. Voltaire is said to have appreciated such coffee. Candy with coffee flavour became popular at the same time and is still today very popular in many countries. Drinking coffee on a saucer was once very common and a continuation of drinking in bowls. In the 1760th the French royalties started to drink out of a cup and drinking from saucers was suddenly regarded as a sign of bad manners. In neighbouring Germany, people continued drinkig on saucers until the turn of the century, and in Sweden it went on even longer. Today many people from the older generation still drink their coffee on a saucer, caught in many years of habit. In the market hall in the Finnish city of Tammerfors a small sign tells visitors that it is allowed to drink coffee on a saucer and that you may slurp as much as you want.
