Yummy Monkey



Some photographic proof of the monkey gland sauce incident.
(That's not a little monkey finger, by the way. That's a fry.)

I have since researched, and found that monkey gland sauce is no longer made with monkeys.

What the hell is it then?

I'm guessing it's one of those mincemeat things - where it used to literally be minced meat, but now is just a tasty concoction that frankly, tastes damn good spooned right out of the jar. Not that I'd ever do that with mincemeat, or with peanut butter and honey. That's immature.

Please note : no monkeys were harmed in the making of this post.

Mincemeat comes in jars now? I thought it fell from the sky in little decorative tarts that then went untouched. Kind of like zuchinni bread.

Helen, I'm pretty sure they're lying to you about the whole "no monkey meat" thing. According to wikipedia meancemeat is "a conglomeration of bits of meat, dried fruit and spices, commonly does not contain any meat."

Please note the contradition - contains bits of meat, and commonly does not contain meat. You are in SA where you have to put a chair in front of your door at night, yet you're willing to believe them when they tell you that no monkeys are used in this concoction. Come-on, you're kidding right?

Sounds like we may need a BRD to reverse engineer this stuff just to be sure. Who knows, it could now be baboon glands, which may be considered "fruit" in SA.
