Fairly high percentage of votes for chicory coffee, but nobody voting for Cafe du Monde but me?

CDM is good stuff, too. Ever try Union brand? Not bad, though the name *is* a bit offensive down heauh. ;-)

Just googled Union coffee and chicory, the bag looks familiar but I haven't seen it up here (Northern Virginia).

Will try it the next time I go for a visit. The rest of my family down there prefers Community, or Luzianne.

Coffee with chicory is very popular with the Vietnamese, who learned to drink it from the French, and we do have a lot of Vietnamese in Northern Virginia. I get the Cafe du Monde coffee at Asian markets.

An odd note: another thing Vietnamese like is a beef soup they call pho. I recently found out that it is their version of pot au feu! They even pronounce it as the French pronounce feu!
