Trivia: Monkey Brain (China)

The monkeys sure came a long way from living in their forest homes getting jettisoned into space. Soon enough, the monkey's added another destination on their travel list: your plate, or at least, their brains will do the travelling. not only does it sound gross, it's very cruel too. There's an urban legend (whch is teh reason why most of its patrons actually eat it) that eating the brain of a living monkey can cure impotence and other sickness. but it seems that not only humans who eat monkey brains; there are some species of cimpanzees that eat them too. The former butler of teh late Princess Diana, paul burrell, claims that he was serve dmaokrey brains on banana leaves and coconut palms in one of their visits to Beijing..
