@GentlemanSmoker I am always conflicted about my coffee choices. Yes, I love really good coffee. BUT, I am also thrilled to get a bargain. My most recent coffee purchase exposes my cheap side. 30.5 oz of Classic Roast (whatever that is) for $2.50.
LOL, well, I just saw my neighbor who is in fact Mexican, and he clearly stated that although their family consumes hot sauce and peppers by the gallon, he would not put hot sauce in his coffee! Clearly this is an Anglo Saxon concoction! LOL
The purveyor of the Ujjo coffee hot sauce is of Indian (dot not feather) heritage. The sauce contains spices and flavors such as cinnamon, cocoa, vanilla. Sounds like curry spices, I wonder if there might be some Thai influenced flavors such as coconut as well?
No, but the concept of putting hot sauce on everything, which is mostly an American construct and way to eat Mexican food, did. By the way, yes, I did see the 'typography' and I'm not sure it's not Pakistani to be honest...which is a loose variation of Arabic if I'm not mistaken. All jesting aside, no matter how you put icing on it...hot sauce in coffee is just weird! LOL
It sounds similar to the experience I had at one of the local coffee roasters Kiosk (Revel Roasters). He had a latte drink he called the “Exodus”, I am not sure if it could be a biblical reference or not? Anyway, it was a latte with a fair amount of honey added to it, for me, it is actually really tasty 😋. Now, I like honey straight, and I like it for “honey butter” on sweet cornbread muffins, or sometimes on sweet white dinner rolls, but I don’t really like it in tea or other lighter flavored things as the honey flavor is too overpowering. The espresso coffee has the “chops” to stand up to the stronger flavor though. I don’t want it in my latte every time, just occasionally, and I think, from reading the description and watching the video, the Ojjo would be similar. Interestingly, the sensation she describes drinking the coffee with the Ojjo and creamer, is exactly like what I experienced with my homemade chocolate-cayenne pepper ice cream.
Not sure; I know a lot about Farsi (simply because I know a ton of Iranians) and some things about Arabic, that said, it seems as though this script is very fluid and not as rigid as I remember Sanskrit to be, although I definitely could be wrong for sure.
Looking at it online, it very well seems like it might be Urdu...nice work! Very 'smooth' almost cursive-like script and from the correct area (south Asia). I guess we need to find an Urdu speaking pipe smoker to tell us if you're correct! Do you know one?
This is The U S of A, I only speak American, and “Montanan” American at that. I almost need a translator for east coast/southern/central/west coast/south west…..ok pretty much everywhere that is not Montana….maybe Wyoming?😉

That's disgusting! Mexicans wouldn't even put that in their coffee!
I like homemade chocolate ice cream with cayenne pepper in it.
Nothing like keeping an open mind.... or is that not typical of "the right side of thinking?"

Anglo-Saxon? More likely Arabic….. Coffee culture did not originate in Mexico, ya know?
As it happens, yes. We touched on Urdu during Aramaic studies. A couple of us did better than most. But it was reading, not speaking.
In Bostonian that's capicola.
