I bought a bottle of this at the Providence Airport.
So, if I am to make this coffee milk concoction, what kind of milk tastes best? Whole? Lowfat? Nonfat?
Or is it so vile that I will be wondering how Rhode Island was allowed into the United States?
As an aside, on my trip I recently, I discovered that my cell phone service, which was supposed to be good in all 50 states didn’t work anywhere in the Ocean State. :mad:
A : There is no Providence airport. It’s in Warwick.
B : Whole milk.
C : Just think of it as chocolate milk. But tastes like coffee.
D : If you’re not from Rhode Island, you probably won’t get it.
As I was saying, I was at TF Green Airport in Warwick, RI …
I had a coffee cabinet in Narragansett last weekend, and it was goooooood.
Oh how I miss that “coffee, regular” (cawfee, regyuhluh) with milk and cream. I too have a 6-year-old bottle of Autocrat syrup in my fridge, which I presume will expire at some point.
On a related note, I can’t find stuffed cherry peppers in Oregon, and have resorted to Tony’s Colonial online:

They refer to a “milk shake,” in my experience a term that makes Rhode Islanders stare at you blankly.
We won’t stare at you blankly–just identify you as the outsider you obviously are
Mmmmm, coffee cabinets. That’d go great with a grinda!
I’ve been here six years and counting and I haven’t had coffee milk. I did give birth to a native, however, and will start him on it soon. Does it have caffeine?
Autocrat is the epitome of all that is truly wrong with the state of Rhode Island. And I say this with the full knowledge that my beloved Valkyrie, born in Warwick, reads these threads on a regular basis. She and her sister visited Providence last year and picked up a bottle each of the stuff at the State House gift shop. It’s only about a third empty now, and has been quietly occupying a space in the fridge ever since.
IMHO, Swarovski is all that is truly wrong with the state of Rhode Island. See their Mary’s Moo Moos collection and try to disagree!
No way! The stuff is great! I used to have it on ice cream with chocolate syrup. That was so good…
Anyway, the worst thing about Rhode Island is probably the Department of Transportation.
Okay, I have a real live Rhode Islander visiting me, so I asked her “What’s a milkshake?” She promptly replied “Milk mixed with Autocrat syrup and shaken.” Further, this delightful creature brought me two jars of stuffed cherry peppers, one sweet and one hot, so all my RI culinary needs are currently fulfilled.
Tony’s Colonial has an online store? :eek:
They’ve let it out of RI, you know. I bought some of it by accident one night last summer, thinking it was chocolate milk. It wasn’t until I took a sip of it and thought “Gack! Did someone put out a cigarette in my chocolate milk?” that I realized that I’d grabbed the wrong bottle in my haste to leave the store. <shudders>
Autocrat?? What’s Autocrat?? You’re only a true Rhode Islander if you recognize ECLIPSE Coffee Syrup.
Doesn’t Eclipse make a vanilla syrup too? That is also vile.
