OT: Got Cow Urine?

[Peartree12249]

Though India is recognized as a world leader in promoting the health benefits of urine, its dominance will be assured by the end of the year when a cow-urine-based soft drink comes to market. Om Prakash, chief of the Cow Protection Department of the RSS organization (India's largest Hindu nationalist group), trying to reassure a Times of London reporter in February, promised, "It won't smell like urine and will be tasty, too," noting that medicinal herbs would be added and toxins removed. In addition to improved health, he said, India needs a domestic (and especially Hindu) beverage to compete with the foreign influence of Coca-Cola and Pepsi. [The Times, 2-11-09]

If it doesn't have caffine, I'm not drinking it

What is it called--Pissy Cola?

When I drink beer, all that's produced is urine. Now if I were to drink urine, would the end result be beer?

Wouldn't care if it did, no sane person would drink piss.

Come to think of it, isn't that what Gatorade is?

Absolutely, if I ever mistakenly purchased anything with urine in it, I'd take it right back.

Aren't cows sacred over there? So wouldn't it be Holy Cow Cola? Hey never said I was funny!

Can you imagine answering questions about your job, or what jobs they would have. Equipment inspector, Product taster, Urine collector, (Can you imagine a cow putting up with being pumped?) Blech!

I was watching a show over the weekend about some of the world's most expensive items. One of the most expensive coffee is about $200 a pound. This raccoon-like animal eats this certain berry in Indonesia. They take the animal's crap and process it into coffee beans. It's supposed to be really good. I'll take their word for it!

Duuuude. You need to get out more.

Like next Friday at Meridian, maybe?

Jack Nicholson talked about something like that in "The Bucket List", if it's the same. Kopi Luak.

The Infamous Kopi Luak. Luak coffee is one of those snicker-rich stories beloved of newspaper writers and party raconteurs. This gourmet curiosity consists (ostensibly) of coffee beans that have been excreted by a smallish animal called a luak or palm civet after the luak has consumed (and digested) the coffee fruit that previously enveloped those beans. Apparently villagers in parts of Sumatra both gather the beans from wild luak excrement as well as feed coffee fruit to luaks kept in cages.

Owing to a production method that is clearly limited in volume, Kopi Luak is a rare coffee that demands by far the highest price of any coffee on the world market -- currently around $300 per pound retail roasted.

Note that the luak-assisted method of picking and processing coffee is not so outlandish as it first may sound. Presumably the luak, like any good coffee picker, chooses only ripe coffee cherries to eat. And recall that in the classic wet method of coffee preparation, one step involves allowing natural enzymes and bacteria to literally ferment or digest much of the fruit from the beans.

Although the odor kopi luak produces while roasting dramatically reminds us of its intestinal journey from fruit to bean, the taste in the cup does not. The kopi luak I have tasted is a rather pleasant, low-key, full-bodied, earthy Sumatra coffee.

As for authenticity, I suspect that, amazing as it sounds, most kopi luak is actually produced as advertised. The beans in the lots I have examined are irregular in size and shape, have little nicks and nibbles taken out of them, and seem saturated with intestinal nuance rather than simply rubbed in it. Nevertheless, only the luak knows.

I'd say the coffee is crappy.............
