I’m old enough to remember when coffee companies promoted blends with chicory as a cheap alternative

I used to drink chicory coffee by French Market.
Roasted Dandelion root makes good coffee.
None of these need anything added to it. Maybe cream and sugar. That’s all.
I think our grandparents made coffee out of barley or some such seed. The poor man’s coffee.

Chicory. Yep. And Postem. As advertised on Father Knows Best tv. Mostly baked/burnt wheat. I consumed it when I could not afford coffee. Not bad but a somewhat bitter aftertaste. Close enough. Was in stores thru the 80s.
