A quote from the Sunshine Coast Daily .

quote:
Luwak coffee , or kopi luwak , is made in indonesia from beans that have been eaten , partly digested then excreted by a small , cat-like marsupial called the luwak , or Asian palm civet .
The excretions , resembling slabs of peanut brittle { LOL , yeah right } around 10cm long , are then dried & broken up , cleaned & roasted , the result looking not unlike regular coffee beans .


It goes on to say , for $50 a cup , it's becoming increasingly popular in ......now , where was it... hmmm , that's right , here it is , THE UNITED STATES .... sorry guys , that's one cultural difference I'll be trying to uphold lol.

LOL , thank you lol . " Did somebody say fair warning " , any future sledging of Australia or Australins , will be met with , " Latte Will ? one lump or two " LOL .

A few important things the article didn't answer though ;
1. Who thought of doing this ?
2.Who's job is it to collect it ? &
3. What would that person put on their tax return as occupation ?

1. They were probably after the mushrooms at the time and grabbed the wrong thing
2. Can you say "too worthless to do something important, but for some reason we can't fire"?
3. Easy, "Tax collector in training"
