Congo Zaire, Sweeping Maggots off a Monkey (to Eat), 1984
Congo Zaire, Sweeping Maggots off a Monkey (to Eat), 1984 - This photo is quite hard to believe, but true. The passengers on the Congo riverboat bought monkeys from village vendors who came to us on their canoes. These monkeys were thrown into the (questionably) refrigerated hull without packaging. Maggots infested the monkey carcasses. Rather than throw them away, the thrifty passengers, such as this man here, simply brushed the maggots off the monkeys, took them home, cooked them, then ate them! I was incredulous. I still am!
