Can't believe I am saying this but for once I agree with a muslim group on something. Not the ban part, regardless people still need to choose for themselves. However, regarding the unclean part. Coffe made from cat dung? Yeah, pass.

[Brenda]

I don't see the problem. We have no problem with eating several parts of animals that are "weird" and could be considered "unclean", but washed and grinded beans that come out of an "unclean hole" is dirty?

[Choban]

To each their own, unless they are muslim, then they aren't allowed.

Seriously, is regular coffee that bad?

I've have been to several hundreds of coffee shop s over the years and have been things like Hawaii's Blue and so far but I have new heard of Cat Shit coffee. Something like that might make me turn Morman. Perhaps that is why Osama Bin Laden is so grouchy.

I must admit I do shop at infidel kafir coffee shops so I've misses this delicacy.

sure

As long as the muslims don't try to ban it for everyone else I could care less what they do.

Kopi Luwak It is the most expensive coffee in the world.

"Waiter your coffee tastes like cat shit."

"Thank-you. That will be $186.50 please".

$1:

Research by food scientist Massimo Marcone at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada showed that the civet's endogenous digestive secretions seep into the beans. These secretions carry proteolytic enzymes which break down the beans' proteins, yielding shorter peptides and more free amino acids. Since the flavor of coffee owes much to its proteins, there is a hypothesis that this shift in the numbers and kinds of proteins in beans after being swallowed by civets brings forth their unique flavor. The proteins are also involved in non-enzymatic Maillard browning reactions brought about later by roasting. Moreover, while inside a civet the beans begin to germinate by malting which also lowers their bitterness

So many jokes about UofG so little time.

Good, more for the rest of us infidel pigs.

Should lower the price, too.

[BartSimpson]

Hey, it's those "browning reactions" that make the coffee taste great!

[Brenda]

Does anybody realize what has been thrown over their fresh veggies to make them grow better? Exactly, cow-dung

Oh wait, we call that "fertilizer"

Try it once and you might change your mind.

You do realise it is not made of cat shit but the undigested beans that are cleaned and roasted before brewing.

Like Brenda said, better quit eating your fruits and veggies too.
