Lionel Posted December 2, 2003 #1 Share Posted December 2, 2003 A Thai town has laid on a nine-course gourmet extravaganza for 3,000 monkeys .Lopburi's 15th annual Chinese Banquet for Monkeys 2003 has been held at the Phra Prang, Sam Yod and Pra Karn buddhist shrines. The festival was started in 1989 by a local businessman who believes the monkeys were behind his family's good fortune. This year, the banquet, set for two rounds at 10am and 2pm, has concentrated on the vegetables and fruits which monkeys prefer. A total of 4,400 pounds of fruits were offered to the monkeys roaming the area. It is estimated that over 3,000 monkeys naturally live in the town and organisers say most of them have come to the feast. On the 96-metre long feast table, nine courses including monkey hors d'oeuvres, sunflower salad, rainbow jelly, hengjia eggs and fried rice monkey were displayed. The monkeys were also given cola to drink. View: Full Article | Source: Ananova.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anirbas Posted December 3, 2003 #3 Share Posted December 3, 2003 I am so glad someone feels compelled to feed the freakin monkeys but small countries live in poverty and starve to death. What a waste! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxcatz Posted December 3, 2003 #4 Share Posted December 3, 2003 I am so glad someone feels compelled to feed the freakin monkeys but small countries live in poverty and starve to death. What a waste! Pretty much what you said... It's sad to see many of the Chinese people starving to death while the government feeds a gourmet meal to monkeys. Hell, they even got pop! Many poor chinese can't even afford pop as a luxury item! Here's my idea, next time you hold the buffet... dope up the food, and when the monkeys pass out; skewer them and feed them to the poor!!!
