I would not call safron a food , you dont eat it by itself , its a spice .
Saw an advert for a Fillipino KopiLuwak factory , caged civet cats were fed coffee beans !!
And Macadamias have another claim to fame , and well deserved , it is the only commercially cultivated native plant .

I agree, Kopi Luwak is expensive BUT found a 100% coffee luwak bean at www.cluwak.com. Affordable and free shipping!

Gosh, I don't call that affordable! I hope it's all you expect it to be.

I'm happy with my organically-grown, fair trade, decaffeinated coffee fom global cafe. It's delicious!
