During the American Civil War, the Confederacy was blockaded by the Union and coffee became almost unobtainable. Soldiers and citizens of the Confederacy experimented with, among other things, roasted acorns and roasted chicory as substitutes for the beverage.

Знали бы авторы этого комментария, что в России кофейный напиток из желудей и цикория используется по сей день, безо всякой войны и блокады. Им поят в больницах и детсадах.
