Tiercel 6,986 Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 That could be a right little earner. The price on Kopi Luwak can be up to $600 US per pound. TC Quote Link to post

Tiercel 6,986 Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 You ever tried it T.c? No I havent, but thats not to say I would not, just could not afford it. Before the beans are roasted they are sterelised so no shitty taste in your mouth http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=8&cad=rja&ved=0CJoBEBYwBw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.telegraph.co.uk%2Fnews%2Fpicturegalleries%2Fhowaboutthat%2F4999770%2FCivet-coffee-Kopi-Luwak.html&ei=XgYJUtvnEsKW0AWbvoGwBQ&usg=AFQjCNHWZdo9XY7N2zHKXSMPzcsH18-tAg&sig2=YPWh5WUpM_Seh5etrA_wUg&bvm=bv.50500085,d.d2k TC Quote Link to post

When you think about the civet coffee it's no worse than eating sausage that have natural intestings as skins those are just flushed out with water. TC Quote Link to post
TOMO 29,984 Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 That's right mate,,, and for 3 days I worked in a abattoir ,, that pure butchered pigs,, my job was pulling the runners of the intestine,, as you pulled it off you thread one end of the large intestine wich is the long thin one,,,through a mangle type device ,,, this then pushed all the shit along and out of the intestine,,, when all that shit was out,, the intestine went somewhere else to be cleaned and prossed properly,,,, Fecking horrible job,, hence me lasting just 3 days,,, every now and then the intestine would twist,, the shit would build until the intestine popped like a ballon,,, and cos the mangle was about 3 foot behind you,,, it burst shit all over your back,,, inevitably some would hit your neck,, and slide its way down your back.... Yep a truly gruesome job,,, I'm far to delicate for all that...lol 2 Quote Link to post

Tiercel 6,986 Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Two of my brothers-in-law were slaughter men. they worked upstair in the killing and skinning room at the abbatior, all the intestines would be thrown down a chute in the middle of the floor. Down stairs they got spread out on a tray and the intestines were sorted, Gwyn the chap whos job it was to sort them would charge you £1.50 for a whole tripe 20p for a sheeps head 50p for a second stomach. He would be spattered inshit and blood from head to toe from empting the intestines by hand, sorting the hides and sheep skins. He had a barrow at the end of the tray and all the shit went into the barrow then tipped into the methene gas plant. I could not have done that job for the life of me. TC Quote Link to post
