yeah so we have a bit of a walk on a nice saturday morning haeh

okay well first we go to the erm to east streets market and see if they 've got the dulce de leche hm okay then or i can make a cake with the nice x that you gave me

i somehow think of banana and dulce de leche for some reason

yeah

okay

hhh are you re cor ding this

okay

it 's a cafe near the barbican xxxx

what did you have

well it 's called kipf erl and it 's an austrian cafe

it 's somethin g like that yeah something

and erm and i bought this er pesto with pumpkin seeds do you know it

no

but i left it in the office

au strian pest o

yeah

sounds like an how do you say anachrom

anachronism an oxymoron

anachronism no

yeah maybe i do n't know may- i think er [firstname1] told me it 's a speciality so i bought it it 's a pumpkin seed pesto it does n't look i mean it looks like a sauce but it 's not pesto i mean they call it pe sto just to make it a bit more appealing or something i do n't know hh but erm a h i forgot it i left it on the desk of my o ffice

does n't go with leek and potato any of that

i do n't know but i have the re cipe for it or i have to ask [firstname1] for how to use it

pesto

no

it 's completely different

hm

pota- leek and potatoes completely different direction to pesto

but it 's not a pesto pesto like in the typical sense it 's pumpkin seeds

hm

made with some sort of sauce i think well i do n't know anyway i should ask how to use it because i have no idea i just bought it because she said it wer- and and the and the shop and the erm the cafe is a cafe delicatessen so it 's got all this er like austrian stuff and er [firstname1] bought le- she filled up bag full like that of erm erm a strange pumpkin seed oil i think it was something like that

so it 's all about pumpkins there

yeah

because of hallo wee n

o h maybe yeah but what 's got to do halloween with austria any way

tha t 's why

hall- halloween is all over the place no

yeah but that 's apparently an austria speci a lity it 's a speci a lity i mean unless it 's a speciality that was invented after halloween took over in austria but anyway and then there was er she bought this erm oddly stuff for [firstname2] er like erm that 's er two types of beer and e r there was erm like they had very nice jams a nd chocolate i put

why did n't you buy any beer for me

bu- i was out i was going out for dinner

hm

i did n't wan na b- buy things that i had to carry

mhm

that 's why i left the pesto in the office in the end

i see [firstname1] buys beer for [firstname2]

and you never buy beer for me

what do you buy for me

chocolate

when

all the ti me

sometimes

no almost every day

well i cook for you xx but it was r e ally cute restaurant and we had this erm everything is in austrian so there was this

in au strian

yeah not even in german

do you mean in ger man

no no no no in erm

austrian does n't ex ist

well i 'm sorry but she said everything is in a dia lect

of something you know e rm the variety in wherever that erm shop is from i do n't know and erm m- because there was a list of things that they were erm selling like food recipes and she said er hh well if you look at those they are all in er er in dia lect hh then i did n't understand any any of those but you could see them in the counter some kind of salad potato salad with er sau sages and stuff like that and erm but i- it was afternoon so i got just a co ffee but i y- you look at the list of coffee and there was this coffee called me lange and i went what is melange to [firstname1] and erm and then she went oh it 's just you know it 's milk with coffee

milk

and it 's cappuccino that 's what you mean is that what you mean and she went no it 's not cappuccino it 's different try it

oh

mela nge this sounds it 's a typical austrian xx that sort of thing

i do n't know

actually my sis ter told me about this

it 's actually nice

yeah yeah yeah it 's typical

and it 's er

yeah yeah yeah it 's very nice they serve it er with a little piece of chocolate and er a glass of wa ter so it 's ver y nice but it 's si milar to cappuccino i mean i think the froth it 's less it 's a bit diff erent but i mean it 's more or less the same obviously but in the list there was melange and cappuccino separately so they make it diff erently it guess

okay

there 's a caffè latte cafe au lait

yeah no no i know but

this is es- sort of xxx

but they had melange cappuccino caf fè la tte and all the typical ones

hm

i understand

that you find everywhere so the the person who doe - who makes the cappuccino and the me lange they must make it in a different way or maybe the it 's just the name it 's different

the e- is for exa- cappuccino is that with the italian th- thingy like the big

yeah but the melange was done

chrome on all this and and the cafe au lait for example is the one that you press down like that

the melange was done with the same

ah really is that the diff erence

well everybody understands it slightly differently whatever exactly the different is and some people think it 's the same even

yes

but french have the pressing down machine

yeah

whereas the italian it 's the one either that one or the big one the chrome

yeah no but yesterday in the cafe they were doing this melange with the big machine and they were preparing it as

hm

in the same way they were preparing cappucci no

yeah

anyway it was nice whatever it was and then i had this cake

the milk or cream is important to get the creaming sort of thing

yeah oh look they do there 's erm erm how you do it as well

ye s

ah

should i book mark this

now can you no can you just tell me quick ly so you e r chop the cut the leeks no first you put the garlic xxx

oh yeah portuguese

we ll but the point with that cafe is that they 've got internet erm stations hh so it 's a bit ooph do n't like because it has got the internet

hh why do n't we go to the portuguese place on the other side and then we look for dulce de leche

they are cute

thank you very much i do n't want them

buy a couple of trap out

yeah but i do n't want to to have to pick up a dead mouse from the trap

y- yeah you call a state

well what they do is they probably put like erm poi son all around

you have a dead then you have a dead mouse er behind the furniture somewhere

ex actly

rotting away

and then it exactly and then it starts smelling so that 's the problem anyway i i was so scared and started because i i was n't pre pared i was just like putted things in all the photocopies and stuff and we order in a few things before lea ving hh and then i was like in complete si lence i was about ten minutes to go put the last books back to the shelf and stuff and then you know ɪk kwɪ and i go a h

the nerdy guy

yeah maybe the nerdy guy comes in on a mon day before me he can deal with it
