I used to work at Starbucks and as much as they’re denigrated for being Yuppie status symbols, the company refused to carry this stuff, as it was… in the words of the coffee tasters…CRAP.

Apparently processing through the digestive system makes it a dryer-tasting coffee with some spice notes, but they put it in the same category as Kona; priced for factors other than quality.

FYI nutmeg and mace used to be harvested in much the same way. The Spice Islands in Indonesia are home to a dove about the size of a chicken, with a hinged jaw like a snake. They swallow the nutmeg fruit whole, pass it through their system, and the locals pick up the pits that pass through, making nutmeg and mace out of them.

Bon appetit!

Vietnam has fantastic coffee and the ritual of straining it through the little tin cup and saucer at the table is very rewarding. I got hooked on it while I was there but have to admit it may also have been because of the addition of the condensed milk.

Weasel coffee is another thing like pigeon soup, fertilised duck eggs, roast guinea pig, birds saliva soup and snake wine – all freely available in Asia (though bird saliva soup is prohibitively expensive). We’re just not used to eating/drinking those things as they have that eewww factor

I’m still trying to figger out the significance of the icons on the bottom of the bag. From right to left, we have poison ivy, a scorpion, a cobra, and, um, a Colonel Mustard gamepiece?
