Eating monkey brain

jasmine17 SG

Do they spilt the skull open and diners slurp the brains while the monkey is still alive ?

cooleo SG

I think they just scrap away the surface of the monkey's head. If split open, some of the brain may drip out, which is kinda wasteful. Mad

jasmine17 SG

all the while the monkey is alive?

cooleo SG

Mus be alive, otherwise not 'fresh'. Just like u dun get milk from a dead cow la.

Oh come on, it's like you guys never watched Fear Factor before.

ANything is possible in this world.

cooleo SG

Fear Factor will never have something like this lor. It's abuse of animals leh. Imagine trapping a monkey that is alive and scrapping its brain out to eat while it struggles away.

After the monkey is inebriated, it is placed on the table to await the hungry diners.

It's one thing about eating monkey brains. It's another thing when there are actually people who eat monkey brains.

Shouldn’t eat monkey meat. High chance of catching exotic pathogens such as ebola. People ate gorilla meat and died of ebola.

Parka SG

Oh. Yah. Ebola. Killer.

cooleo SG

Then can eat pig brain?

skeujin SG

really? saw it many years bak... lukd real enuf to make me lose my lunch

the Bear SG

pigbrains, here's the difference...

it is COOKED...

the monkey brains one is probably a sad tale of an urban legend being repeated so many times that people believe it...

and then there are some stupids out there who "must eat everything" and someone out there who wants to make a quick buck..

hope they get some kinda sick disease...

but monkey stew is legit.. people do eat that stuff...
