<p>*“Iced chicory coffee ( sorry xigs, sounds like you missed the point)” *</p>
<p>Heck, Cheers, there are people who swear that a cup of hot carob is as good a cup of hot chocolate. And while we are at it, I’m sure some believe that Ghirardelli or Hershey’s are great eating chocolates as well. You have to taste the real thing to appreciate the subtle -or not so subtle- differences. </p>
<p>In the case of coffee, some enjoy the relative bitterness of certain beans. Others, who prefer less pungent versions do not like the taste of chicory. </p>
<p>De gustibus non est disputandum. :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Your presumptions may be getting ahead of you?</p>
<p>The point is that despite the bitterness, despite the less-than-gourmet taste, chicory coffee is delicious. One cup and you feel the Big Easy.</p>
<p>So says me.</p>

I’ve heard New Orleans described as America’s only exotic city.Fitting description?
I can’t wait to return.</p>
<p>We definitely need a cc “reunion” at one of these venues. New Orleans needs our visits. Hope to see some of you in January.</p>
