Hi all,
When I was in New Orleans and Canada 14 yrs ago, I had coffee that had chicory in it.
Has anyone ever heard of this?
If so, how, when, where do I get it?
I have never found it over here and first had it in New Orleans and loved the taste!
Thanks in advance
"The taste for coffee and chicory was developed by the French during their civil war. Coffee was scarce during those times, and they found that chicory added body and flavor to the brew. The Acadians from Nova Scotia brought this taste and many other french customs (heritage) to Louisiana. Chicory is the root of the endive plant. Endive is a type of lettuce. The root of the plant is roasted and ground. It is added to the coffee to soften the bitter edge of the dark roasted coffee. It adds an almost chocolate flavor to the Cafe Au Lait served at Cafe Du Monde. "
