chicory
Anyone know of a place that sells roasted chicory for New Orleans style coffee in the Boston area?

I don't know of any place in Boston that sells roasted chicory, but in the past I've ordered it from www.sweetmarias.com and just combined it with fresh ground coffee for my own blend of New Orleans style coffee. What I like about this approach vs the cans is that you can mix the chicory with a higher quality coffee and with a coffee that isn't totally char-roasted like CdM.
If you're looking for Cafe du Monde cheap, Hong Kong Supermarket (Former Super 88) in Brighton sells the cans cheaper than anywhere else at $5 a can. I think CdM makes some of the best iced coffee around.

yes i have seen the actual coffee with chicory, thx. was wondering about just the chicory root, to add one's own coffee. i found it in plain old grocery store in new jersey when living there but around here no luck. i know you can get on the web for not much $ but being a cheapskate chowhound i resist paying $8 to ship a couple of ounces of chicory worth less. that may be only option but i thought i would ask in case anyone had seen.

Most grocery stores stock Cafe du Monde or...another brand that I can't remember (Shaw's the former, maybe in the international aisle, Market Basket the latter). Most stores with a sizable southeast Asian selection (e.g., Hong Kong Market, Super88, etc) have it as well.
If you search the past posts on this board, you'll find some more info (you may have to expand the default time period while searching).
If anyone finds decaf CdM though, I'd be interested...

When I was a kid, the other common brand around Boston was Luzianne. Not sure if that's still the case.

re: Klunco
Whoops. Missed that the OP was looking for chicory FOR coffee, not a chicory/coffee blend.
Thanks for the suggestion--I'll give DIY a shot. As you mention below, I like it for iced coffee, but my consumption rate is usually too high to go with the caffeinated version.
I wonder if Harvest Coop or Whole Foods has it. It looks like the Frontier brand has it, and Harvest definitely carries Frontier brand stuff.
