Someone who‘s mother tongue is Arabic served me coffee. It had cinnimon and some other flavor – he said they brew it with meat.

I don’t know exactly where he is from so searches on meat coffee are coming up empty. The cinnimon suggests Morrocco but I find nothing on meat Morrocan coffee. Just wondering if anyone knows about this way of making coffee. I’m only familiar with the reverse: using coffee in food (often grilled meat), not using meat to brew coffee for drinking.

    “mint” in “menthe” in French, could it be what you understood as “viande”?

      No, he did not say mint or menthe, and I did not taste that either. I can only imagine that he meant meat spices.

      He also mentioned (in phonetics) “loo-pon”, which could be lupin. I have some stuff called “Not Coffee”, which is actually roasted ground lupin beans. This stuff is not coffee but it’s prepared and brewed like coffee, and tastes similar. Though it would not explain why he mentioned meat.
