OMG, the Globe and Mail has just published some late-breaking news about cat poop coffee!
Because crappuccino has now been declared halal for Muslims, some producers are planning to meet increased demand by domesticating wild civet cats, breeding them in cages and farming their coffee-bean-studded poop. But experts warn that this will result in less flavourful coffee. The varied diet of wild civet cats is necessary to produce the special stomach enzyme which processes the coffee bean fruit during digestion. A regulated diet will produce a "monotonous enzyme" and therefore, a different taste for the coffee.
Run, little civet cats! Hide! Protect the high quality of your poop from the greedy entrepreneurs!
rglr or DECRAP? :P lol
ReplyDeletethere is NO crap on the beans, the digestive juices merely eat thru the cherry cover, then all are washed clean before processing!
too expensive for me, but i'd want to make a taste test if someone offered a free cup...
If the Civet Cats would form a Union and sell their own poop, they could afford to buy their own country. Why, I bet they could even get a monopoly going....
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what this is about. Halal? Bean poop? Coffee Bean fruit? Civet? Too early for this...I need more java!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they feed them the coffee beans they want to drink, ewwwwwww! lol...I don't know how you do it, Debra but you manage to find the most er...flavorful (pun intended) news about cats of all brands and what they produce...Btw, maybe we should invest in one of these and make tons of money ;)
