I dunno. But it probably tastes best in yoga pants.

yeah. ive had a lot of nuts in my mouth, but never a chestnut

[secretlyevil]

That was tested out in my market last year I believe. I think we got that instead of a usual one and peeps were mad. Again, I don't drink coffee so no idea.

When I was in Hawaii, and walked into my hotel, the very first thing that greeted me was not lovely tropical flowers or pictures of the ocean. It was a MASSIVE banner advertising that Pumpkin Spice Lattes were available at the Starbucks in the lobby.

That has nothing to do with Chestnut Praline Lattes, but I just thought you should all be aware of the havoc that the PSL trend is wrecking on America.

[heyjude]

PSLs are the BEST. You shut your mouth ESF!

But a spiced macadamia nut latte has a certain ring to it.

IDK but the roasted ones smell bad.

Mocha with macadamia syrup is pretty bomb.

Like angels and magic. 

Seriously, it's good. Do you have trader joes? They have packages of already shelled and cooked chestnuts starting in November.

I listened to two white girls on the train this morning discuss how much they needed a coffee. I wanted to kill myself.

But because you'd already had your coffee you were able to refrain, yes?

I had coffee in my hand but had not consumed it. Metro is cracking down on eating and drinking on trains and platforms, and I had not the energy for a ticket.

It was sheer willpower. I deserve a fucking medal.

They are good.  But the texture is not like a nut.  They are starchy and soft.  The flavor is earthy. They are like a cross between a hazelnut and a potato.

This has the distinct creamy orange hue of my beloved PSL.

WIN!!!

Hey, I coined the term backwoods bumblefuck! But maybe you... um, drive to other places? That are hours away? Specifically to go grocery shopping? My mom's BFF drives an hour each way every WEEK to go to Wegmans, and while I love Wegmans, I have one 10 minutes away and I don't even go every week. So yeah, that's actually crazy.

I wonder if Pamela gave up on the Fresh 20. It seemed she usually couldn't get 5 of the ingredients in any given week. 

[msmerymac]

They're apparently getting rid of the caramel brulee latte for this. Sucks.

When I was doing weekend/evening college in STL county, I used to stop at Trader Joe's for a few groceries before heading back home (75 miles). I haven't been back since I graduated, even though they had a frozen marinated salmon that I LOVED.  And their little mini tacos were better than any you could get at walmart too.

I have had trouble finding kale in my town so Fresh 20 is probably out for me too. LOL

PS the salted caramel mocha is better than the PSL. /gavel

Is this one of those instances where, if you know the ingredients, you can just hack an existing latte and ask them to make it for you?

<-- signed, clueless because she only gets the salted caramel hot chocolate at SB

[redheadbaker]

Boo. Can't have praline.

I think they have to have the special syrup in stock.

It depends what type of syrup they have.  I have gotten a peppermint mocha latte in the middle of the summer.  But they couldn't make a skinny peppermint mocha because they only had the full fledged syrup rather than the sugar free one.

Nope, caramel brulee sauce is an actual ingredient. :/

Peppermint mocha you can request all year long, though. They just market it for the holidays. 

[ringstrue]

Yay!

My Walmart has shallots.

[ajj]

I don't like anything flavored with nuts. I like nuts alone, but they should not be in things.

LOL at it tasting better in yoga pants.

Water chestnuts are the worst! I hate it when I'm eating a perfectly good stir fry and crunch into one of those things.
