Doesn't Taste Like Sh*t, Apparently

I heard a long time ago about the exotic coffee made from beans that were salvaged from animal turds, but the NYTimes brings us all the details. I sure want to rush out and buy some at $150/lb, especially now that I've seen the picture above.

Alberto Pat-og, 60, a retired school principal, said he did not understand why foreigners were willing to pay so much for a cup of the stuff.

“We are a bit surprised,” he said. “A bit perplexed.”

His son, Lambert, 20, added, with a big grin, “We are ignorant.”

Count me in the perplexed category.
