Guest guest Posted January 15, 2000 Report Share Posted January 15, 2000 Well I didn't get any complaints about my banana rant, so I decided to try another fruit, Coffee.(did he say coffee) Yep, Coffee is a fruit.The Coffee bean, which really isn't a been at all, comes inside a berry a little smaller than a cherry. In fact they are called cherries.<br> Did you ever notice when meat eaters taste some exotic flesh they usually say it tastes like chicken. Frog legs taste like chicken, rattlesnake tastes like chicken, any undiscribable taste, tastes like chicken. It goes somthing like this; " Yeah there I was, stranded in the Malairian Jungle with nothing to eat but the one eyed razor-backed mongolian Jungle snake " (what did it taste like) " remarkably like chicken " .<br> Well we don't have that luxury its hard to find a fruit that tastes like chicken. But coffee cherries have a very undiscribable taste, but there is a slight taste of coffee. They seem to be non toxic, in fact somewhere down in South America there is a little weasel looking animal that lives on coffee cherries and people follow them around picking through the poop collecting the expelled beens. This weasel poop coffee sells for over $400 per pound.(serious, no joke) The cherries don't taste good enough that you would sit down and eat a handfull of them, but at least we don't have to give up coffee. When tourist take a tour of Hawaii ,the Big Island, they usually stop at a coffee farm where they are encouraged to taste the coffee cherries. Then they look at each other and say; " hmm tasts like chicken " .<br><br>Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
