It ain't easy to get one's chile fix in England. This is one of those countries that sent people around the planet looking for stuff to improve the national diet1. Yeah, for dinner the curries around here can be great. But something as simple as a red chile breakfast burrito is sadly beyond their capacity. So what's a fella who needs something spicy before noon to do?
I have had exactly one great idea this month, born from this state of adversity: Red Chile coffee. When the ground coffee goes in the filter, a spoonful of red chile flakes go in too. Then brew as usual. That's it. Simple. But now I'm getting my caffeine with that familiar chile heat as a follow-up bonus. Efficient and tasty.
This probably isn't that different from dipsomaniacs2 who wind up guzzling cosmopolitans while claiming the cranberry juice is good for their urinary tracts.
1 I think this is why people here say "send out for a Chinese" or "get an Indian" when they're talking about take-out food; it's a leftover from when they were talking about arranging another colony to send back something of worth.
2 "Dipsomaniac" is a much better word than "lush" or wino or something. Even though anyone drinking pitchers of cosmopolitans is more likely to be some sort of lush.

You've considerably cleaned up what they actually say in footnote 1. Maybe later we can go out for a Limey. That's a pork pie and a stella eaten in the entrance of a shut betting shop.
Don't you have a scrabble game to play?
I am definitely going to start calling myself a dipsomaniac...
