One of the best things about traveling to other countries is the opportunity to try extraordinary local foods that you cannot find at home. These can range from specific ingredients, such as herbs and spices, to dishes or drinks. Without further ado, let’s look at some examples.
On the coffee plantations of Indonesia, there’s a particular type of coffee bean that comes from an unexpected source. A cat-like animal known as the civet roams the fields, looking for the ripest coffee beans to eat. After the beans are consumed, coffee farmers collect the poop and extract the digested coffee beans for processing. Before you turn your nose up at the idea of drinking poop coffee, be aware that civet coffee beans sell for as much as US$500 per kilogram due to their unique flavor and low availability. As the popularity of the coffee surges, civets are being confined to cages just to meet the increasing demand.
