Fiction - You mean other than there ARE that many civet cats in Indonesia,

Great
fiction! :-)

Indeed and all the other mis-facts I read about coffee. Anyone can
post anything and you need to do research of course. I went to a
University of Hawaii Professor of Veterinary Science to research the
kopi luwak and he said he doubted it for many reasons and I can't
remember all- but IIRC cats chew their food. Then the next person
will write in that civets aren't cats and it is an endless waste of
time, imho.

aloha,
