In Italian latte is simply the word for milk. What
in English-speaking countries is now called a latte
would be referred to in Italy as "caffè
e latte" (commonly "caffèllatte"
- with two l's because of raddoppiamento sintattico),
literally "coffee and milk", similar to
the French "café au lait". As recently
as 1980, if you ordered a "latte" in an
Italian coffeehouse in North America, you would
expect to get a glass of milk ·and if you
ordered a "caffèllatte," you would
get a beverage with far less milk in it than has
now come to be called a latte... |
