Not Monkey Again
Photograph by Nicolas Reynard
Possuelo's team—either unenthused by the dinner menu or simply exhausted from another day slogging through the jungle—await the evening meal. Monkey was a regular dish on the expedition, as were turtles, deer, game birds, peccary, and piranha. "Monkeys don't taste very good, especially when they're boiled," says photographer Nicolas Reynard. "And they don't stimulate your appetite either. You stare at them before they're cooked, and their dead eyes stare back at you. They have little hands and feet that look like a baby's. I've been eating monkey for years, but it's still a very strange feeling."
