Until a vegetarian options exists (take note, Morningstar Farms) for monkey brains, the general rule of thumb is to not eat monkey brains. Actually, avoiding brains altogether (unless you’re the living dead) is probably a good idea; lest you want to draw the ire of PETA.
Pop star Jesse McCartney is discovering this first-hand after admitting that he sampled the Asian delicacy on a recent trip. He says, “It was a little chewy and a little bland. It could have been seasoned a little bit more to tell you the truth.” Hasn’t this kid ever seen Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom?
In response, PETA recommended that McCartney go VEG and use his head next time. “You’d have to be bananas to eat monkey flesh, or any meat,” said spokesman Michael McGraw. “When it comes to the ability to feel pain and suffer, a monkey is no different from chickens, cows and pigs. All animals deserve respect, which is why PETA promotes a vegetarian diet.”

He probably ‘thought’ that this way he could actually ‘grow’ a brain of his own!!!
I guess it didn’t work and he’s still one brainless dude – “It was a little chewy and a little bland. It could have been seasoned a little bit more to tell you the truth.”
Did he bother to find out if the monkey he so carelessly ate was a threatened or endangered species? The Chinese are notorious for poaching a species, or two, to extirpation (clouded leopards in Taiwan) or extinction for the sake of taste. This kid is an asshole.
Whether this monkey was included on an endangered species list is irrelevant… An animal was killed for this moron to sample an “asian delicacy.”
As PETA pointed out, the fact that this was a monkey’s brain and not a cow’s brain shouldn’t make a difference…it is wrong regardless of the species killed…but I must say this smacks more of killing for the novelty of it all….
This Jesse McCartney idiot is a pathetic sicko. What a shame he has the same surname as some fine vegan/vegetarians…
This is so funny. Monkey brain must taste awesome. I’ve always wanted to try it since I saw Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom as a kid.
the true delicacy is eating a monkey brain while it’s still warm and in some cases while the monkey is still alive… stupid rich people will eat anything when told it’s a delicacy. human beings are the true cockroaches of this world.
WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?! HE WAS BEING A GENTLEMAN AND TRIED SOMETHING DIFFERENT INSTEAD OF BEING RUDE, HE’S NOT AN ASSHOLE. ALL OF U R!! PEOPLE EAT COWS, LAMB, HORSES, PIGS, CHICKENS, AND MEAT! SO IF YOUR MAD HE ATE MEAT THEN GET THE FUCK OVER IT BECAUSE SO DOES MOST OF THE WORLD AND HE DIDNT DO ANYTHING WRONG! AND HES NOT RICH ACTUALLY HE DOESNT MAKE THAT MUCH MONEY! SO LEAVE JESSE ALONE HE DID NOTHING WRONG!
Katarina: 1) Please do not shout. Your CAPS LOCK key is just to the left of the “a” key, and your Shift key is near the bottom row of letters on the average keyboard. 2) Most of us who object to this dingaling eating brains don’t eat animal flesh. Except for the trolls who come on here, we’re all vegetarian or vegan. And believe me, we do have issues with people who eat animal flesh, if you would bother to READ stuff on this site. 3) Please learn the difference between “your”, a possessive pronoun, and “you’re”, meaning “you are”.
Eating brains is a bad idea.
Reason one: Whoever had the brain before you ate it, probably wanted that brain more than you.
Reason two: Brains and disgusting. Only nasty, sick people like Hannibal eat brains.
Reason three: Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease.
@VeggieTart please be careful with your generalizations. Not ALL of ecorazzi’s regular readers are Vegan/vegetarian and not all non-vegan/vegetarian readers of this site are “trolls” that show up simply to stir up trouble. Some of us are people that are working on their own continual journey toward having a lifestyle that leaves a minimal footprint and have not made that commitment yet.
Thank you,

OMG JESSE MCCARTNEY is HOT no matter what he eats !!!!!!!!!
gawd. the monkeys brain was bigger than his.
lola, i am totally w/u, he is hot. but so are alot of the guys at my school, but i’d never go out with them, nasty meat eaters…
If he had any smarts he wouldn’t go around bragging about it… probably wanted to give his ego a boost by being all “manly” and eating dead animals.
Still, monkey brains or not, I wouldn’t kick him out of bed
SAY WHAT!? EATING MONKEY BRAINS!!!!!!!!!!! SICK!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe he was referring to a great all natural, organic instant oatmeal I have eaten called Monkey Brains I purchased at Whole Foods. It was awesome!
wow.
get a life you veg heads!
First of all, unless you know how the world works, keep your stupid comments to yourself. Secondly,places like Panama raise Dogs as cattle (not as pets) and yes they eat them as they are cattle. To them its a delicacy, just like MONKEY to Asia. They do not go and kill people’s pets just to feed someone famous-those animals are cattle. Also, those who travel know that there are dangers if you refuse stuff like that-In Iraq, refuseing a hospitable act like a delicacy is rude and the host will become angry
Wow, this planet is really sick! Must we destroy it any faster. Most seem to be numb to the reality by acceptances of the norm. Sick people make for a sick planet. This disease, we call humanity. The poor creatures of this planet have no say in their largely unjustified demise.
Even calling a vegetarian dish monkey brains inadvertantly helps to desensitize us of the murderers we call human.
Animals are the only innocent beings on this planet, well besides babies, and a few others, but what do we call people that offend us? Animals…of course! How’s that for backwards logic?
I’m really am considering vegetarianism as an option.
