Guest guest Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 I'm not crazy about chicory, but I love green tea and it is really good for O's.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 I am not crazy about chicory either, but there is another alternative coffee sub (herbal?) called Teeccino. > > Has anyone had chicory as a sub for coffee?

Where I grew up the best " coffee " was 50/50 mix of chicory and coffee. (We made it with milk not water as we did for coffee back then - I'm 60 so " back then " was a few moons back). THAT 50/50 stuff was delicious, even in instant coffee form - but I can not find anything like it any more. It got popular to have " pure " coffee after that - the planet seemed to get a thing about " pure " - and the mix got socially unacceptable - yet IMO the chicory mix was MUCH yummier. Not bitter. I have not tried chicory alone. Namaste, Irene -- Irene de Villiers, B.Sc AASCA MCSSA D.I.Hom/D.Vet.Hom. P.O.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Hmmmm.Irene, I just saw some chicory and coffee mix at Teeter. It was $10. I hated to pay for it without tasting it first. Maybe I will break down and buy it. I am looking for a coffee that is not so acidic, probably watered down. I only drink 4oz. Does chicory fit that bill? _____ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Irene de Villiers Sent: Sunday, December 14, 2008 4:29 PM Subject: Re: chicory coffee On Dec 14, 2008, at 10:20 AM, Debra wrote: > Has anyone had chicory as a sub for coffee?

Does chicory fit that bill? Yes. What is the brand name? Where did you find it? I would not mind getting some myself? I dunno if it is an acquired taste or just nice to start with - but I have good memories of it:-) .......Irene -- Irene de Villiers, B.Sc AASCA MCSSA D.I.Hom/D.Vet.Hom. P.O.

Much less - I do not like acidic coffee either. ...........Irene -- Irene de Villiers, B.Sc AASCA MCSSA D.I.Hom/D.Vet.Hom. P.O.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 There used to be coffee on the supermarket shelves called Luzianne. It was a coffee/chicory blend. I haven't noticed it in awhile, but I haven't looked, either. It was a white can with red lettering Sharon M From: " Irene de Villiers " <furryboots@...> > On Dec 14, 2008, at 1:46 PM, Debra wrote: > >> Hmmmm.Irene, I just saw some chicory and coffee mix at >> Teeter.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 If you have an oriental, preferable Vietnamese grocery near you, check it out. They usually stock Cafe Du Monde, We found the Cafe Du Monde at HEB on the shelf next to some other type of chicory coffee. Fantastic! My husband loves it. Thanks.
