Dan - with truffles on top!
HDW - I have a bit I do about "first time foods" where I basically reflect about things like beer (which is just grain that has gotten wet and then gone bad) or eggs ("I'm gonna eat the next thing that comes out of that bird's ass.") Somebody had to be having a really MAJOR coffee jones to start picking the beans out of cat shit.

I think I'd give up my life blood (Coffee)before I'd drink that. Why can't we leave well enough alone, Next thing you hear will be the are harvesting cocoa beans the same way and I'll go balistic.
