I bought a paper copy of the Globe and Mail last week. All I really wanted was the Dell advertisement to hopefully get a discount code on a computer for my parents. That didn't work out and today, as a sad consolation, I flipped through Report On Business Magazine. A short paragraph on Indonesian Kopi Luwak coffee caught my eye. Apparently, this variety of coffee is the most expensive in the world. Its production is rather peculiar...
The process is as follows. Our good old friend the Asian Palm Civet (remember S.A.R.S.?), a beast local to where the coffee is grown, eats coffee berries as part of its natural diet and passes the beans through its digestive tract, excreting them partially digested onto the jungle floor. The beans are gathered by locals who sell them at $600 USD per pound. Available at Pusateri's.
Who said Tim Horton's tastes like shit? Really? What KIND of shit?

Shnatz, you are so hateful. Hate swirls around your little heart when you think of the WASP culture you are a part of. Freedom of expression, a value championed by WASP culture, is what allows you to write your arsenine comments on this blog.
Also, I can think of plenty of other cultures that are worse offenders in the unwiped ass department. Including the other half of yours.
um hmm, I said it.
Totally. Then she says: "Thawunk you."
Except that civet coffee is foreign. She wants to buy American so she force feeds her cat Nabob beans, then forces her Mexican maid to pick up the excretion and make her expresso.
