Monkey Brains as a Delicacy
A Chinese delicacy that has been made famous through films, Monkey Brains may have been cooked as an ingredient in the dishes of some Chinese imperial cuisine. Paul Burrell, the former butler of Princess Diana, claims he was served monkey brains on banana leaves and coconut palms in one of their visits. However, it is still debated, and difficult to substantiate whether live monkey brains was one of the items in the Qing dynasty Manchu Han Imperial Feast.The Anyang tribe practices a tradition in which a new tribal chief would consume the brain of a hunted gorilla while another senior member of the tribe would eat the heart. It is not only humans who eat the brains of monkeys. Two species of chimpanzee are known to eat the brains of monkeys which provide fat in their diet. |
