If George Bush was offered some on a state visit, could he decline on terms of cannibalism?

HA! Best laugh I've had yet today! Thanks mate!
Perhaps the monkeys could pick the bugs off him. Oh but that would mean Dick Cheney might get eaten.

You are just showing yourself to be the biggest ignoramus an a BIGOT - like Mr Info says, just a few visits to India doesn't make you a knowledgeable source.
Like Anjalee mentions, people feed the monkeys. As it is most Indians are vegetarians - those that eat meat mostly eat chciken or goat meat. Monkeys are often revered in some areas as some people feel they are close to Hndu gods (as in Ramayna where Rama won over the evil Ravana with the help of a monkey brigade). The moneky God, Hanuman is also worshipped.
Please don't make mockery of other people's taste - you will come across a bigoted westerner (as it is the Islamic world already thinks most westerners are insensitive) - do you want all Indians to feel this way too?

.i watched this horrific "film the faces of death" when i was about 25 (I'm now 43) it as haunted me for years i witnessed a restaurant that catered mainly for the novelty factor monkeys been encased in a circular table with a hole cut out in the middle for the monkeys skull to protrude the monkey was a live and gripped on to the cage it was trapped in then its skull was smashed open they had the minutes taste and one women threw up so it was sent away this was by white English people i was horrified and cried and switched it off immediately i didn;t know what to do should i have informed the police i was in a hysterical mess i dont know if it was India of Malaysia or any place in the far east those details seemed immaterial it just happened i know in my heart it wasn't camera trickery the film looked a bit "ropey"so i think late 70s no later than 81 do not watch this macabre evilness
mr.info s is right i am a white English woman so i am not being racist to any foreign country or am i disrespecting my own race

India is a Huge country. U wont see cows n monkeys or whatever in cities. Come'on. Go to small villages to see them. And no one will eat a monkey. But then again may be tribes, live in forests n all. no one knows, you can expect them to eat animals but its everywhere in the world, Right
Just visiting 3-4 places is not INDIA as some one replied to this Question. Your entire life is not enough to know travel this country. more than 30 languages, food habits, climatic conditions. Every city is diff from other and ppl are diff.
Thanks for your time..

No. You are way off base.
In India, the monkeys eat people. Small villages usually pick one small child or a geriatric fortnightly to as a sacrificial gift to the local primates. Otherwise the monkeys would go on a rampage and take over the entire country, nuke us, and then it would be like "Planet of the Apes"

Elephants, cows, and monkeys have free reign all over India.
This is partially true. There was a time our car got stuck in a traffic jam 30 miles outside Bombay in the country side, and the person riding on the elephant past the shoulder of the road WAS indeed travelling faster than we were, and we were in a car! Many temples do have elephants, and in festive occasions, some temples bring out the elephants on the streets to greet and bless devotees, even in cities. Kerala is the most famous place for Elephants, they even have a week long festival where they decorate elephants. It is really famous. I have yet to see this, or Kerala for that matter! Cows do lay in roads, even in city centers. There are certian parts of certian cities that do strictly enforce the no-cow zones! Monkeys, yes there are monkeys in India. I did not see any in Chennai, but I had seen them in Kanchipuram and in North India, especially in Shimla. There were so many in Shimla, in fact, the YMCA had a sign which stated "Beware of the Monkeys!" Many foreigners go there and leave the window open and the monkeys come in and cause havoc, some even bite the humans.

It would be more diplomatic to say that he was vegetarian.
Though Indian media would in no time dig up lots of footage of George eating juicy burgers. So my way is no good either...
I hear monkey brain is good with rice and soy sauce.

He would decline, but on terms of confusion:
'Oh no, I couldn't. I guess you West Indians do that all the time, but In America we don't eat money, that would screw our fiscal system, and not just for fish, for all of us. Aw, what the hell, when you're in Jamaica, right - OK, just a small one, a dime, maybe...hey, wait, this ape don't look like Thomas Jefferson...'

Well, FYI, they do not eat monkeys in India. In fact people in India feed food to the monkeys. I have no idea where you got that idea from.
