Agreed. Certainly not common.

However, I have heard coffee being used as a food ingredient. Cocoa too (e.g. Mole chicken).

Coffee is good in dark sauces and ice cream. Properly made mole (árbol, iirc) with chocolate is divine, but time and labor intensive. I've never attempted it, but I bought a jar of the hard, oily stuff last shopping fr trip I did, which doesn't have cocoa. It was an impulse buy, since it's really too warm to be making such a heavy dish, barring an Easter cold snap that's chilly enough, and I doubt I'll make it then, since I'll be busy for a few months. If you can get authentic, freshly made, I strongly recommend it.

I tried making rice with coffee once. It was fucking awful, but it was pointed out to me would make an awesome base for rice pudding. I hate rice pudding. I don't know why I do the things I do.

I tried coffee mixed with tea once. Only once.
