I'd have to modify your statement: But to expect a
NW FA to be familiar with South African liqueur is just a little over the top.
I guess amarula is more obscure than I thought. It is available on mainline DL and in the CRC. DL made a big deal about it when they started offering it several months back. Even wrote it up in Sky Magazine. I had not heard of it before that, but I guess I assumed I didn't know about it because I just did not know that much about liqueurs. I thought there'd be no harm in asking on NW. I mean, at worst the answer would be "no."
Before amarula, I often asked for amaretto in my coffee (you're not going to make fun of that, are you?

) The best that I can do to describe amarula in coffee is that it tastes like coffee+amaretto+cream+sugar.
I'm not complaining about the lack of amarula. I think everyone realizes that. I am complaining about the obvious attitude problem of this particular cabin crew and hoping it is not indicative of the majority of NW FAs. Most of you have indicated that this group represents the exception, not the rule.
