I think a lot of people use the term "allergy" to refer to any bad reaction to a food, but as you can see, the NIH's definition is narrower, as Ginny suggested: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/foodallergy.html And here is a lengthy list of common food intolerances: http://www.niaid.nih.gov/topics/foodAllergy/understanding/Pages/foodIntolerance.aspx Another page in that section: http://www.niaid.nih.gov/topics/foodAllergy/understanding/Pages/whatIsIt.aspx makes it clear that a truly allergic reaction does involve a protein antibody.

The South could not import coffee during the civil war because of the northern navel blockade. They developed several coffee substitutes. Here is one: Recipe from:Greensboro', Ga., Aug. 23, 1861. "Beet Coffee Take the common garden beet, wash it clean, cut it into small pieces, twice the size of a bean of coffee; put into the coffee toaster or pan, and roast as you do your coffee--perfectly brown. Take care not to burn while ??ing it. When sufficiently dry and hard, grind it in a clean mill, and take half a common size coffee cup of the grounds, and boil in one gallon water. Then settle with an egg, and send to the table, hot. Sweeten with very? little sugar, and add good cream or milk, ??? coffee can be drank by children with impunity, and will not (in my judgment,) either impair sight or nerves. Col. Wm. W. D. Wea??? and myself have tried it, and find it almost equal, when properly made, to either the Java, Brazilian or Mocha coffee. I am indebted to the Colonel for this excellent substitute; and as every man has his beet orchard, so has he his coffee. Note: There is a percentage of water in the beet, which is extracted as you toast the particles to a nice brown." You can google for a sweet potato coffee recipe. -- Meerkat1

It's 100% non coffee guaranteed. What exactly it's made of is a matter of some speculation, but I heard rumor that it's some kind of industrial waste. -- Caren TDC Queen of Adventureland |
