actually, monkeys were often eaten alive in Hong Kong not too long ago. much like selecting a lobster, a selection of tied up monkeys would be brought to your table and you'd have your pick.
than, the head was smashed at the table then and there. BAM! a monkey brain feast.
it was as popular as poutine is in Montreal. It was everywhere! Hongkongers sure do have a funny way of portraying how they are a 'different entity' compared to the Chinese. Especially as it was NOT common in Beijing, Shanghai or Taiwan, all big cities with comparatively many more residents.
事实上在香港,人们活吃猴子,就像我们选择龙虾,他们会捆着猴子然后让你选,你选上后 他们会把猴子开颅,变成一个猴脑盛宴。
