Thanks Om. Been on another island for a few days and just reading
this am. I believe chicory was added as a coffee substitute when
there wasn't enough coffee available- at some point in early American
history. And when we went to New Orleans I found it an odd taste as I
was used to mellow Kona.

Ot We have 2 small grandsons here for 2 weeks so time is limited:>)
but it is an interesting thread.

A funny story. You can have your own beans dipped in chocolate but
for a large price, so we don't do it anymore, but we have. So one
Christmas I gave it to all my relatives as presents. I got one call
from an older uncle and he says, it gummed up his grinder & what
should he do. Poor guy.

I didn't think it was THAT bad. New Orleans stuff is pretty good.

I guess New Orleans got the habit from France where chicory has long
been used to extend coffee. A lot of people in New Orleans and France
like it that way.
