That's how I discovered it - it was mentioned offhand in some article or blog post about eating in Hong Kong, and I thought, coffee and tea? in the same mug? Gave it a shot and it's been a staple ever since.
Also good when you're about to run low on coffee and want to stretch out what you've got.
Ginger peanut brittle - the nice thing about that would be the texture contrast, if you're using crystallized ginger.

I think I'm going to blanch the ginger as usual (30 minute simmer) but not pre-crystallize it before putting it in the pot with the peanuts. This is for a theoretical future batch, btw, not going to happen anytime in the next couple of weeks.

Ok, I just did a shit-ton of googling and learned some things about the world. Is the pringles and dhal thing a real thing or were you guys just punning on Sophie Dahl and Pringle knitwear.
All I really know is I'm going to buy my wife an argyle sweater.
