Monkey brains

Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes

Monkey brains is a supposed dish consisting of, at least partially, the brain of some species of monkey or ape. While animal brains have been consumed in various cuisines, for example as eggs and brains or fried brain sandwiches, there is debate about whether monkey brains have actually been eaten as a dish. In Western popular culture its consumption is often portrayed and debated in the context of depicting other cultures as exotic or cruel.
