LOL.. shame on you
I just hope that no one tries that for real

By the way.. if coffee is too strong, you want something cold, and you don't want a no fat soy double decaf frappuccino from the famous chain you should sample the horchata/orxata when your travels lead you to Barcelona, Valencia, or in between. I can't remember if it's likewise popular in other parts of Spain.

we were told to ask for a "bon bon" in Spain - when we did there seemed to be much joy that we had asked for one

I'm still not exactly sure what kind of coffee it was but it was strong and sweet - I think it had condensed milk in it. Does anyone know what a bon bon is supposed to be?

you've got it exactly right. This is actually the drink most girls have when they are trying to acquire a taste for coffee but really don't like it. No one can resist it!

OMG, now I can't stop thinking about a café bonbón!! I had never heard of it but it sounds scrumptious. Is it well known in Madrid, or is it a specialty of certain areas?

Found all over. It comes in a small glass glass.. looks real pretty as they serve it to you with the condensed milk on bottom, then 2/3 espresso on top.. and YOU stir it up.

Some places have reverted to the pre- packaged c. milk that you squeeze out of a plastic sleeve. Not nearly as nice as being given the bi-color drink in a transparent shot glass.

For a photo of a Café Bombón. See this thread. Photo is second but last.
