  Sheeze….the mind boggles.

  I found this amazing thread on the Sydney goth forum of an aussie guys culinary adventures in China. Rather serious ewwww warning.
  Perhaps your tea is in a similar vein.

  Where did you get the tea?

  I shouldn’t spoil this fun, but google tells me that:

  “As with many varities of teas and coffees, Pu-erh is named after the region where it was first harvested. There is a small town in the Yunnan province called Pu-erh, and trade in this type of tea was very heavy there.”

  Damn, Cristy, I’ve just had my lunch.
  …
  I thought the coffee world had the best equivalent, Zoe:

  Luwak Coffee ® is coffee made from coffee beans that have been eaten by a Luwak. Regular coffee cherries are hand picked and the flesh of the berry is removed by mechanical means. When a coffee cherry is eaten by a Luwak the flesh is removed through digestion in the stomach of the Luwak, and the beans are collected after they have passed out of the Luwak.

  I didn’t have to visit here this arvo, did I, particularly after having made a fresh pot of tea?

  I think I just heard my lunchtime Moroccan Chickpea salad revolting at the thought of … no, I refuse to think of the above comments and piccies again.

  I can’t match the Kopi Luwak coffee, but somewhere in my cupboard I do have a packet of Asian Sliming Tea that I have never been game to open.

  mmmm, Animal by-Product tea, you’ve won me!

  I have no idea if I’ve done this right, but Mousicles posted on ForBattle about weasel coffee…

  I have a nice photo of weasel coffee but I don’t know how you paste it in? it has the reassuring lable, ‘edible,’ on it. just in case…

  I fixed up your link, speedy. Only I can post pictures, but if you post the link I’ll usually put it in. Like I did down there (and where is the goddam arrow symbol when you want it?)

  nope, I haven’t done it right. damn. oh well. these are the links Mouse posted –

  I deleted the links because they were cactus, speedy, but look what I found on the intertubes:

  

  Apparently they sick it up rather than crap it out for this one.

  Mmm vomited up or pooed out, I just never can decide at breakfast time. What a decision to have to make before your first cup of coffee.
