Stephen Fry: Mmm, not exactly. [pauses] It was Cambodian… weasel vomit. It’s a coffee that these weasels eat, and then—
Alan Davies: They eat the beans, and then from what they excrete—
Stephen Fry: No, vomit. They vomit, and the acid in the stomach kind of softens it, and it’s apparently very flavoursome. [pauses] I just felt it was something he wouldn’t have!

Bill Bailey: I prefer Jackass The Novel.
Poor Alan has learnt to be suspicious of Stephen’s questions.
