These people need to be put in prison for a long time. They are a threat to our meat supply.

Great green globs of greasy, grimy gopher guts,
Mutilated monkey meat.
Dirty little birdie feet.
Great green globs of greasy, grimy gopher guts
And me without my spoon.

Cultural diversity at its finest!

Every BBQ on Guam calls it Monkey Meat on a Stick. Its a joke cause the monkeys are protected by law so you cant eat em. The last year I was there I ate all the monkey meat I could find.

“Every BBQ on Guam calls it Monkey Meat on a Stick.”

Bought it on Manila in 1972.
