Starbucks needs to hire monks!
After a recent dinner, I was introduced to the liqueur Frangelico. The origin of the Frangelico name is very interesting:
“According to Barbero, the manufacturer in Italy, the name of the liqueur is based on a legend of a hermit named Fra Angelico who "created unique recipes for liqueurs."
Now, it just so happened that another person at the table was sipping a Cappuccino, which, as we all know, is named for the color of the habit of Capuchin friars.
Which left me wondering what would have happned if Fra Angelico had been a Capuchin friar, and not a Franciscan/Dominican. Would he have invented the Frappuccino? Save to Del.Icio.us Digg This Submit to Reddit Stumble this
