Now here's a bit of info Trailer Guy Bob found online regarding foodstuffs you won't want to pass on.
But I will.
Kopi Luwak or Civet coffee sells for over $100 a pound and in some places $50 a cup. Kopi Luwak or “CAT POOP COFFEE” is coffee made from coffee beans which have been eaten by and passed through the digestive tract of the Asian Palm Civet, that’s a fancy name for a cat. These cats eat the ripe beans, and excrete (pronounced “poop”) partially-digested beans in their feces (also pronounced “poop”), which are then collected (by stinky fingers no doubt) for sale. This unique harvest takes place on the islands of Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi in the Indonesian Archipelago, in the Philippines , and in south India.
There’s a variety in Vietnam (they call it Weasel Coffee in Viet Nam, and some say it’s regurgitated (pronounced “barfed”) not pooped but they are wrong otherwise I think it might be called Weasel Barf Coffee, and that just doesn’t sound that good.
What are some other expensive beans? Check out these, and none of them take that long colon trip of the Kopi Luwak, cept perhaps the last one….
