Comrade,
By way of answering, my advice would be for you to hit up your local "natural foods" store and purchase a small bag of chicory coffee substitute and make it at home. See what you think about it. At most you'll be out a couple dollars.

Go to your local Whole Foods or to http://shop.cafedumonde.com/coffee.html and order a can of this...
Chicory coffee is traditionally a French influenced New Orleans favorite and it by far the best coffee in the world. If you buy this and do not love it, I will personally refund your money (wink, wink)!
Best of all, Cafe du Monde is historically accurate, established in the French Quarter in 1862!
So buy it, toss some in a solid canvas mess bag and enjoy!
Hope this helps.

Chicory
There is some stuff out there called Postum. Comes in a glass jar. I think it was popular during the depression. Check local grocery store.
The Mad Mick!!!
Postum is more like the "ersatz" coffee sold in Germany after the Great War (origin of the word "ersatz" in English). I tried Postum once when I was decaffeinating. Appalling. Like drinking sawdust water. It was worth years off my life to trade that stuff in for a steaming cup of strong black coffee.
"Chock Full o' Nuts" coffee, I believe, uses chicory. It produces a flavor a friend who used to live in Louisiana pronounces to be "Southern." Frankly, as long as it involves a healthy dose of the fine Central American bean itself, you can always count me in for a cup.

Well what I meant was , has anyone actually dried and roasted the roots of the chicory plant? They sell the stuff in the yellow can at wal mart I believe,but my wife is going on the savings kick and won't buy it till we're completely out of our regular stuff. I'm not a big coffee drinker anyway like I said in an earlier post. But I might go out and get some this weekend.
