I'm not talking about the dried up coffee substitute—that is nice, but the fresh endive. Chicory seems to have a slightly revered status as something for the connoisseur and I can't understand why. Over the years I've been served it, tried cooking it, and every time found it so bitter to be barely edible. However, a forum search search shows that it's a not unpopular ingredient on people's plates here! I can't understand why you'd choose it, when there are so many veggies out there that are actually nice. What am I missing?
So, chicory is horrible—prove me wrong! :–)
