Picture Dictionary: Flat White

Prompted by rattdl’s innocent question last week (she wanted to know what budgie smugglers are) I’m reintroducing the picture dictionary feature I started in South Africa.

Today’s phrase is one with which some readers may already be familiar since I think it’s slowly infiltrating coffee shops in Ireland and Britain.

Flat white [flæt waɪt]

Noun

Espresso-based drink served with hot milk. Similar to cappuccino but with less foam and no chocolate. Cf Café au lait. Often seen on lists that include ‘long black’, ‘short black’ etc. HTLT's favourite.
