> It's important to note here that I have never seen a contemporary account of drinking chicory coffee where the person reported enjoying it.
If I recall correctly, in the 1970s the Chock Full 'o Nuts regular can of ground coffee was labeled as containing chicory. Wasn't bad, was my family's preferred brand. Of course, back then we were barbarians who made coffee in a percolator and adulterated it with coffee creamer ("an edible oil product") and sugar.
Every time a major war breaks out coffee seems to be one of the first things that gets scarce. Cutting with chicory is among the least of offenses; during WWII both britain and germany were using burnt toast scrapings and/or acorns. I don't know what they did in france, probably just went straight to wine.
