From Dung to Coffee Brew With No Aftertaste

A civet farm in Liwa, a town in Sumatra, where the catlike animals eat coffee cherries. Their droppings contain coffee beans fermented in their stomachs.

Next time I see Sumatra blend. I'll certainly think twice

[MsGuy]

You might want to think three times, NYTomcat. I've read the stuff can cost $30 plus/cup retail.

[Lookin]

Thanks for the heads up. I gave up coffee some years back. Remind me never to rim a civet.

Actually...!

[marxbro]

Actually...!

 

 

 

ya.. i think if you're going to rim ANY wild animal you should seek out a civet :-P

This is one of those things you have to wonder how it came about and who thought it up.

 

"Ethel, I got an idea. Let's grind up this cat crap and make coffee!"

[KMEM]

OK, this all reminds me. Who had the nerve to eat the first hen's egg? How about an oyster? There are plenty of things that are wondeful that, upon reflection, might seem unappetizing. Oh, well.

Who ate the first pussy?

[AdamSmith]

How about an oyster?

 

Further: Snails. Frogs' legs. Deep-fried hens' feet (had 'em in NYC Chinatown; scrumptious). Jellied duck's blood (ditto). A Chinese friend taught me that fish eyeballs are delicious (taste like very rich egg whites). Sea cucumber (must be experienced; no words will do). Eel, fried and otherwise. Sushi made from eel intestines (this is true).

 

I have never had "mountain oysters" but conceive them something to live for.

Who ate the first pussy?

 

Redd Foxx has the most uproarious standup routine about the bravery of the first man ever to eat out a pussy. If I can find it online, I will post it. I wet myself the first time I heard it (on a 45 record).

 

This is not it, but still pretty interesting:

Mountain oysters are indeed delicious as well as turkey fries and bull fries. I have not as yet tried escort fries but have had them "raw" but, afterward, returned them to "original service".

Most grateful for the resource conservation. Could it be you are "greener" than you think?

This really has to be a perfect example of things that make you go Hmmm.

Adam,

 

I'm glad you like them. But these in addition to pussy will most likely never touch my lips.

As in...

 

Lips that touch gyne

Will never touch mine!

I lived in Sumatra for a few months and can confirm that they consume some exotic items there. I gave up asking what things were after awhile as it was considered rude not to try everything that was on the table.
