Perhaps British people can enlighten me as to whether "Camp Coffee" is
still sold. It was a a liquid extract (mainly chicory) for producing
"coffee" quickly. The label showed a kilted army officer drinking coffee
and, over the years, PC attitudes were apparent. The initial label
showed the officer accepting a cup of coffee from a Sikh servant, then
one that just had the Sikh standing by and finally the officer and the
Sikh were seated together both drinking coffee.

In Revolutionary times many folks brewed Kentucky coffeetree beans,
many still (extremely toxic until roasted). I have one that I planted
in my yard about ten years ago, it's doing beautifully. It's the last
tree to leaf out in spring and the first to drop its leaves in fall.
According to the arborist at my favorite nursery (Storys.com) mine is
the only known specimen growing in this county:

More poeple should plant this very hardy tree.

Marmite is available in the US, even at some ordinary supermarkets. I
just have a mental block about paying about 3 times the fair price.
Sometimes I bring it back from England.

I'm quite happy to leave it there! Same goes for Vegemite in Australia.

Hmmmmmmm. I wonder if that's the stuff they use in our coffee yoghurt?

I've been wondering how they got such a thick coffee essence.

Might have to buy some and give it a whirl in some plain yoghurt and
see.

Just bite off more than you can chew,

Once again, I'll quote from my old boss, "Heck, I'd even eat a turd if it
was properly prepared." heheh
