I like Pero better anyway. I like it tons, but then again, I used to drink real coffee during my wildly apostate days.

There's always Caf-Lib, isn't that pretty close in terms of taste? I've never heard of Pero.
Do you guys have Horlicks down there?
(After talking with Hiccups, I've been googling and discovering all sorts of food that we have but you don't. Ichiban noodle soup, All-Dressed potato chips, Red River cereal, KinderSurprise eggs, butter tarts, and a whole wack of chocolate bars: Coffee Crisp, Eatmore, Smarties, Mr. Big, Caramilk... )

I just bought more Pero yesterday. Must keep up my supply.

Naw, it's the smell and taste of evil. I'm pretty sure that's ok.

Oh, and cheers! I'm having some Pero in hazelnut hot cocoa right now, Coco, and it is fantastic! (Only 25 calories, too!)

Pero tastes much better than Postum in the first place. Serve a German speaking mission in Europe, and you will come away in one of the polar opposites: 1. Love postum/pero/roasted grain drinks and various herbal teas (like mint, rosehip, chamomile, cinnamin & spice mixtures); or 2. absolutely will loath the stuff and curse the people who came up with it (of course, those were the missionaries who could never bring themselves to like -- let alone embrace -- the staple cuisines as well).
Me, I joined the ranks of #1. We haven't had any Postum in the house for probably a year or so, so it won't be a big loss to us (particularly since it is not the best thing for a diabetic -- with all the molasses in it and the sweetener you have to use to make it palatable), but I have yet to see Pero or any other alternate in the grocery store. Come to think of it, it has been a long while since I've seen Postum too, at least this explains why.
I first had Postum at my and Alabamabelle's grandparents house. I thought it was kind of neat to be drinking a warm, bitter tasting drink with lots of sugar and milk in it with my grandpa in the middle of the summer!

Barley Green/ barley water is raw, I think. It's still green, at any rate. My mom used to make us drink the stuff. She added it to water or juice, which made it thick, green sludge. It tasted like grass. The taste wasn't awful, just the texture.
Once she gave it to me with some other natural supplement. The two didn't get along in my stomach and I spent the whole hour of seminary hunched over the toilet. I haven't had Barley Green or the other stuff since.

This reminds me of a funny story. We keep Pero in the house because my wife used to be a coffee drinker and misses the taste sometimes. When she makes herself a cup of it, she either refers to it as "mormon coffee" or "coffee". My older son will on rare occasion drink it too. My son was interviewing with the Bishop to get the Aaronic priesthood. They got to the part about the Word of Wisdom. He was asked about each prohibited item in turn, and when they got to coffee, he said that yes, he does drink that sometimes. We had to explain to the Bishop for a while that there are no substances anywhere in our house that contain coffee, and that what our son called coffee was a grain based beverage that approximated the taste. We had explained to our son several times that "mormon coffee" bears no relation to real coffee except in taste. But I guess that didn't sink in. The only part that sunk in was that his mom called it coffee.

Kinda like our bishopric member who, as a teenager, carried that beef jerky that looks like chaw in his back pocket. Just to make trouble. Even after the bishop told him to knock it off.

I doubt Arbi's son was being a smart aleck... If he is anything like his Dad, I don't think he would have a bone like that in his body. Particularly at 11 going on 12.
My experience as an Assistant Scoutmaster over the 11 year olds and now as Scoutmaster over the whole troop is that most LDS boys don't get really smart alecky until after they turn 12 and are some of the "big kids" now...
Probably, he was simply too honest and didn't understand the need to conceptually differentiate between bean coffee and roasted grain drinks when the word coffee is inserted.
Jen, that's funny... My Dad, when he was serving as Bishop, wanted to have a certain man in the ward as his counselor. He kept on telling him that everytime he took it before the Lord, the answer came back that yes, the man was called to be his counselor. The good brother didn't want to be in the bishopric. So, he grew a beard in protest. My Dad didn't press him on accepting the call, and in a couple months, the brother accepted the call. But, he didn't like it at first, so he kept the beard for nearly a year. Anyway, that good brother went on to serve with my Dad until Dad was released. And then the man was later called to serve as the Bishop himself. In fact, he was the Bishop that sent me on a mission.
