Chicory (scientific name Cichorium intybus L. ) in Ukraine is also called the whip of Peter. The plant received this name for its appearance, because the flowers of chicory grow on shoots 80-120 cm in length. Shepherds often cut off these shoots and beat the cattle so that it went in the right direction.
Цикорій в Україні ще називають Петровими батогами. Цю назву рослина отримала через свій зовнішній вигляд, адже квіти цикорію ростуть на пагонах завдовжки 80-120 см. Пастухи часто зривали їх і поганяли ними худобу.

I recently gathered some chicory from Boulder, CO, but not as much as I wanted because most of it was close to the roadside. I'm drying the roots now to make a coffee substitute. :) The chicory I gathered had a softer almost purple color though... Hope to post about it soon, but I'm still quite new here and haven't had time to get my posts together yet. Thanks for posting, totally catches my interest. :)
Oh, I have never picked up the root of chicory in order to dry and make a drink from it, but we buy a ready-made powder from chicory, so I know the taste of this drink!
