1. Drink a coffee made from poo<\/b><\/h2>\n

Perhaps not the first thing you had in mind but certainly one you should definitely try. <\/span><\/p>\n

Whilst primarily carnivores, weasels have a particular taste for ripened coffee berries in Vietnam. In fact, they are experts at finding the sweetest and ripest coffee berries, originally leaving farmers baffled at their ability to eat nothing but the best. Over time, farmers began to use the arrival of the weasels as a sign that the coffee berries were ripe for harvest. Upon inspecting the weasel poo, farmers found that they were almost entirely untainted by the passage through the weasel. Once washed, dried and roasted as per the process for normal coffee, farmers found that the weasel coffee was sweeter and much less bitter than Robusta, the traditional Vietnamese coffee. Hence, the phenomenon of weasel coffee was born – an absolute must in Vietnam.<\/span><\/p>\n
