Roots, roasted as a coffee substitute or an addition to ground coffee. Roots are hard to pull and work up. Yes, I tried.

Yes, I tried. I had a feeling that it might be the roots. If it were the leaves then more likely to be called a tea. Daryk Campbell Sr and FishnDave 2
FishnDave Posted July 11, 2022 Author Posted July 11, 2022 I've seen roasted chickory as in ingredient in tea. The roots and extracts have some good health benefits. Also used as a natural sweetener. Johnsfolly 1

I may be stopping there on our way out to Kansas in a couple of weeks. Maybe my daughter will have a better time with the gar than she is having with needlefish out this way. They chase for a second or two then turn away.

The gar are scattered around everywhere, of course. I might even be able to meet you there if its a weekend. Johnsfolly 1
