It's just a guess but the seahorse used in chinese medicine has a tail like
a monkey's tail. Maybe it is a medicinal ingredient (yin/yang)? "Alai" > wrote in message link.net... > In one of the recipes I found of Chinese Garlic Chicken, one of the > ingredients(optional) is called monkey tails. He > > http://asiarecipe.com/chimain.html#garlic > > What is it? > > |

Since the ingredient is marked "optional," I'd leave it out. |

I chose tails, though, if monkey butts are as delicious as chicken butts, maybe I made the wrong choice ... ;-) Lawrence (Wheeler) |

I saw monkey tails in the store today and decided to pick them up and use them for that recipe. I don't know what you were thinking, but they didn't go very well with that dish. I strongly reccomend leaving them out. Maybe I go the wrong breed of monkey? -sw |

Lawrence > typed: > I highly recommend the damn monkey at Chiang Dao cave that stole my > sunglasses out of my pocket last Saturday! So this guy was sitting at the bar, with his martini in front of him, when a monkey walked across the bar, and stood over the glass, with his tail hanging in it. The man called the bartender and said "Hey! Your monkey's got his tail in my martini." "It's not my monkey. Tell the piano player about it. It's his." So the man got up and walked over to the piano player. "Do you know your monkey's got his tail in my martini." Came the reply: "No, but if you hum it, I'll play along." -- Ken Blake Please reply to the newsgroup |
