I went upstairs looking for a drink... I didn't want a fizzydrink, I didn't want water... I realized what I wanted. I wanted iced Roma with hot chocolate mix. I drank this stuff by the gallon last summer because there's anecdotal evidence that the roasted barley coffee substitute drinks stimulate lactation (and it worked for me). And it's good cold.

M teased me mercilessly about drinking that stuff, since my grandfather drank Postum instead of coffee - his entire adult life. I think he started during WWII. Of course, he also called margarine "oleo." I get revenge by calling Grape Nuts (which M loves) "grandpa cereal" because my same grandfather ate lots of grape nuts.

Is Roma like Postum? I grew up on Postum; my mom always called it "kid coffee". :^D

I've actually never had postum... it's a roasted wheat beverage, whereas Roma is roasted barley & chicory. But I bet thery're pretty similar.
