Read in the paper today that a shop in London is selling coffee beans (and cups of coffee) which have been through the digestive system of a civet cat :shock: .
Apparently the cats cant digest the beans so they come out the other end and are collected and made into coffee. £50 a pound for the beans. And people are buying it and drinking it :roll:
Do these people all have "sucker" tatooed on their foreheads. Why why why would you want to drink something which has come out of a cats bum?

Not so bad, I suppose. Londoners drink water that's been filtered by other people's kidneys, don't they?

Oh, I forgot to say, according to Metro the stuff is retailing in London coffee house for £50 per CUP, not £50 per pound. :shock:

How do you think I could persuade Rosie to start snarfing down coffee beans and do you think I con Tim into standing by with a sieve and a stick? :lol: :lol:

Well, I wouldn't pay money for anything which came out of a cat's bum, but do eat what comes out of a hen's bum ! (Alan got there first!)

The only good thing I can see about all this nonsense is that the money raised from the £50 cups of coffee goes to Cancer Research. :roll:

It does all come out of the same hatch, just at different times.

Ooh Alan, I've just read through that web link and my eyes are watering. I own chickens, I have seen chickens laying eggs having peeked at just the right moment, but gawd that looks painful.

It does also go a long way to explaining why my little Pekin had a prolapse; poor baby, prolapesed on her 2nd egg and died :cry:
