The health food shops here sell Barleycup which tastes like insipid powdered something, but can be pleasant if you're not expecting coffee from it!

At the organic shop (not much local there, just flours, boo), they sell carob chips as a substitute for chocolate chips. Their flavor reminded me of sweetened black coffee. I have yet to bake with them - I think I'd prefer to go with half chocolate and half carob chips in a cookie or loaf recipe to prevent either flavor from being overwhelming. I have a couple of cans of sweetened condensed milk begging me to make fudge - but I don't know how carob chips would stand to be fudgified.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-90601404346884488392007-07-28T10:23:00.000-05:002007-07-28T10:23:00.000-05:00OK, this dandelion root thing is new to me.
