Pope Beatifies Inventor of Cappuccino



From CNN.com:



History books also show that with a vast Ottoman Turk army beating a path to Vienna in 1683, d'Aviano was sent by the then-pope to unite the outnumbered Christian troops, spurring them to victory.



As the Turks fled, legend has it they left behind sacks of coffee which the Christians found too bitter, so they sweetened it with honey and milk.



The drink, now supped by millions around the world, was called cappuccino after the Capuchin order of monks to which d'Aviano belonged.
