I used to like coffee made from chicory, Camp Coffee, we always had it in boiled milk though, never had Nescafe until I was a teenager and coffee made from beans until I was well into my twenties.
Camp coffee is strictly for sticky toffee pudding and the like. Been drinking filter coffee since spending a year in Belgium as an au pair, 45 years ago. The year ABBA won Eurovision with Waterloo which is where I was living. I keep a small jar of instant coffee granules for the one coffee cake I might make in a year.

I would miss tea and coffee, especially my morning coffee, but I'd just stop drinking it rather than trying to replace it. Mind you, I do drink nettle, chamomile and peppermint teas, but they don't fulfil the same function.

That's what I don't get about vegans. All this highly processed food. Why not just eat neat vegetables? You can be pretty sure that the multinationals are busy buying up the ethical companies producing pretend food for vegetarians and vegans.

And apparently one of the arguments for a vegan diet is that its better for the environment... I don't think deforestation for growing soy bean crops to make tofu and shipping of exotic fruit and veg is very good for the environment... But hey ho whatever floats your boat I suppose.

Couldn't you grow a camellia sinensis and cure it for making your own tea?
There was a programme on the other week where Giles Coran researched the secrets to long life, all in the USA, one couple swore by eating 1000 calories a day, for breakfast they had to imagine eating food, one group ate only meat, one group only vegetables and one guy only raw meat, take your pick.
