Anger is a legitimate emotion in the face of injustice. Passive acceptance of evil is not a virtue.

It may be "cat's" crap but it's the world's most expensive coffee and now it's halal too
Indonesia's top religious body has declared a premium coffee made from civet cat droppings fit for Muslims to drink.
The proclamation has brought relief to farmers who can now continue exporting Kopi Luwak, the world's most expensive coffee. ---------------------------- The first time I've heard of Kopi Luwak, was 4 years ago as one Sydney coffee maker was advertising it. A kilo is around 400 dollars US.
Joe, The process is not what you're thinking..The Civet cats are fed coffee grains first and after excretion the grains are collected, washed and processed..So basically what you're drinking is nothing but coffee which sejourned in a cat's guts for sometime and gained a specific aroma and flavor....
And that's no bull...
ReplyDeleteI believe there's a well-known coffee vendor (*$$) who already markets cat-piss.
ReplyDeleteBut he's not doing all that well, is he? ..I used to see many of them around here in Sydney but to my knowlege, there's only one Starbucks left
ReplyDeleteGood to see you around Abu Zuhair..and that's no bull either.....
ReplyDeleteThanks TG for you kind words
ReplyDeleteNews that gives me pleasure.
ReplyDeleteMy cat produces about $400 worth of crap a day. I'm a rich man and don't even know it.
ReplyDelete...also, I can't help wondering how they discovered that you could boil cat shit and drink it.
ReplyDeleteI always thought people who sat around cafes all day, talk, and drink coffee were full of shit. This confirms it,
ReplyDelete...that's the last one. I promise.
