Say What? Expensive coffee from elephant rectums!

Un-fracking believable.  Normally, good taste and modesty would deter me from possting anything so disgusting,

Nevertheless in this case that demonstrates just how decadent our consumer culture has become, gots to post this one.

Golly, plain old espresso from the grocery store satisfies my coffee cravings.  For the key word in quote below, find dung.

[GOLDEN TRIANGLE, Thailand —

In the lush hills of northern Thailand, a herd of 20 elephants is excreting some of the world's most expensive coffee.

Trumpeted as earthy in flavor and smooth on the palate, the exotic new brew is made from beans eaten by Thai elephants and plucked a day later from their dung. A gut reaction inside the elephant creates what its founder calls the coffee's unique taste.

Stomach turning or oddly alluring, this is not just one of the world's most unusual specialty coffees. At $1,100 per kilogram ($500 per pound), it's also among the world's priciest.]  emphasis added to increase ick factor.
