Illegal. Good thing I don't like coffee, isn't it, considering that

N'Awlins coffee often has chicory in it?

I've had coffee on occasion -- but I typically had a little coffee with

my cream. Since I can't do cream any more... tea, which I like just fine

black, is where I am. My husband's allergic to coffee, if you can believe

that. And I always liked tea better.

<g> I have a character I'm writing about who loves coffee

(including New Orleans style), and I had to write to a friend in Canada

to ask her what the character would drink!

I'm trying different types of beans from many different countries and areas of the world, but am finding I like the varieties from South and Central America best. I do keep a few bags of different roasts of whole-bean from Gevalia on hand in case I run out of coffee before I take the time to roast more. But once you've tasted how good it is to roast your own, it's really tough to be satisfied with other coffee! When I'm out I usually buy it from either Tim Horton's (a Canadian chain that has infiltrated big-time into this part of the U.S., and into Michigan, etc.) or even Starbucks (though I normally drink that only for iced coffee, into which I put honey; I'm not a general fan of burnt-roast coffee; and it's a bit harder on the gut). I found it took me quite a few months to get used to drinking coffee black, I found, as I always drank it with cream or 1/2 and 1/2; I still do that once in a while, Lactaid treated. But now I have actually come to prefer black coffee, for the most part. It allows you to really taste the subtleties of the particular beans and roasts.I've never been a fan of chicory in coffee. I was always told that that was something one did to try to doctor bad quality coffee (and, indeed, I certainly didn't like the taste of chicory when I tried it a few times). Sort of like putting ketchup on a hot dog to disguise a bad meat and seasoning blend. Same concept. Being a native Chicagoan I've adhered to the Chicago habit of putting good mustard but NEVER  ketchup on a hot dog. So at least I didn't have to quit eating ketchup when I went on the SCD! :-)  And, having lived in Canada for a long time after college, I got into the habit of putting gravy is on French fries; so I didn't have to stop using ketchup there, either, for the SCD. n-- Now available.

My friend's hubbie is from Canada and they love Tim Horton's up there. She

brought back a container of the coffee. It was ok, but not Community <grin>... I

might be biased because Community is made in LA.

Yep, thanks Dawn and Marilyn. I've been SCD 2 years so it's been a while. It

probably closed about 1 year or so ago.

I live in Edmonton, Alberta. I can tell you there are more Starbucks here than any other coffee chain! It seems like they are on every street corner. Walk into a Safeway and you'll see Starbucks! People of all ages and walks of life are seen in Starbucks around here, not mainly university folks. Second Cup - not so many of these outlets, unfortunately. I prefer Second Cup to Starbucks as the coffee isn't quite so "burnt". Tim Hortons...well there are always line-ups. That's where the rest of the population migrates to!

Oh not at all! I was just trying to think what the average person would do for a "gourmet" beverage at home. Besides just making coffee, tea, or having juice, water, etc.

I live near Toronto, and for ourselves we just drink filter dripped coffee. We

have a Kuerig coffee machine, and if we have company, I will offer guests decaf

coffee or flavoured coffee.

When we are out visiting quite often we are offered espresso or cappucino

coffee, as many of our freinds have Espresso machines at home. Often, when we

are at a dinner party we are offered a 'shot' (liquor) with our coffee (or tea)

when desert is served.
