Yes the kopi tahi musang or kopi luwak is such a popular item in Vietnam and is very expensive too. I hear that it is so in Indonesia too.

.. recently there were pics of this musang (a few of them ) in captivity given the task of consuming coffee berries for that purpose .. n the poo were collected to turn into that kopi luwak (is it the right term ? the story goes it cost USD600 per pound n the coffee give a slightly bitter taste popular in Indonesia & the Philippines ..

.. I have heard stories that wild elephants consume durian whole, wrapped in leaves for easy swallowing, but the fruits were expelled intact at it journeyed thru the elephant stomach system, >> n there are people who dare to open n eat the durian, saying it taste just like other durian .. hehe ..

I can confirm that about the durians from elephants. My late uncle was a warden of Taman Negara and I remember him telling of such durians.

Are they tasty? they look so small, maybe not so creamy?

.. report say the flesh smells like tortoise urine hehe .. they tastes different from those durian that we know of

I don't know how tortoise urine smells, but it can't be good...... do they eat those durians?

.. the locals there eat them .. but some say U must get used to the smell n taste ..

I guess that might be so
