Why do British people drink their coffee with milk instead of half and half? I've noticed this at work when we get British people, that they almost always ask for milk. I'll tell them we have creamer around the corner, but offer them a carton of milk to use if they want it, and while some of them take the creamer, a fair amount opt for the milk.
So, I was just curious. Is half and half in coffee an American thing? Or is the use of milk in coffee a British thing?
I don't drink a lot of coffee, but I'd say it's an american thing, though you can find both in Canada, I don't know what "half and half" is. We do have them little creamer cup thingies though, but a lot of them just have milk, usually homo.
