Saturday, May 19, 2007 Cat Poo Coffee I thought this was a spoof but it isn't: The world's most expensive, and rarest, coffee is Kopi Luwak. It is made in neighboring  Indonesia from coffee beans found in jungles. And guess what, the only beans used are those that have been passed through native civet cats. The price is a cool $1,000 (RM4000) a kilo. As Wikipedia reports, "Civets are omnivorous, supplementing a meat diet (both hunted and scavenged) with fruit, eggs, and possibly roots. One of the Common Palm Civet's favorite fruits is the coffee "berry." The coffee bean within often survives, and it is sometimes gathered and sold as caphe cut chon (fox-dung coffee) in Vietnam or Kopi Luwak (civet coffee) in Indonesia." Anyone for a cuppa? I thought Yuk but apparently the coffee connoisseurs in Oz are digging in happily. See here and here for news articles. I wonder if Scoop and Au would like to eat a few beans? It might be a whole new cottage industry. PS This image of the civet cat was originally called "Malaiischer Palmenroller, Paradoxurus hermaphroditus Schreb. 1/5 natürlicher Größe." It was created by Gustav Mützel and comes from Brehms Tierleben, Small Edition 1927. It's copyright is now expired so the image may be used by anyone.

I saw my neighbors, they are 2 dogs and I saw them eat cat poop. Do you think the dogs'poop would be worth something because they ate the cat poop? I am not sure if I would want to drink cat hot water passed over ground up cat poop.
I shall get Winter to try it out and we shall see whether its any good. Then again, Winter will probably kill the civet cat before it got a chance to poo.
Hi, a big thank you for stopping by my blog. It's true that my blog almost died an untimely death, cos it got hacked by someone called Burton. I notified the issue to google. They took some drastic steps against him and he was forced to give back the blog. Now I am back. Feels great to be back once again.
Talk about cat poo, dog poo or whatever poo, I just lost my appetite. Excuse me as I gonna puke.
