Another weird food is Kopi Luwak. It's an extremely rare coffee from Indonesia that's made from coffee cherries
eaten and then excreted (pooped out) by the Asian Palm Civet, also called a toddy cat. The waste is carefully
collected and roasted and sold for up to $600 a pound. The civet's
digestive system supposedly removes some of the bitter compounds from
the beans, resulting a sweeter coffee.
This is Kopi Luwak, the poop from... this animal, an Asian Palm Civet.
Interesting. But still loving coffee.
