Fanboys Anonymous

May 23rd marked the official 30th anniversary of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and there's a fun little purchase that any true fan of Indiana Jones would probably like to add to their desk or dining table.


In Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, the trio receive a warm welcome from the residents of Pankot Palace, during which they attend a lavish banquet attended by the Maharajah. On the menu were local delicacies including baby snakes, beetles, eyeball soup, and chilled monkey brain for dessert. The monkey brain scene is one of the most iconic moments in the Indy films (along with the opening of the Ark of the Covenant in Raiders of the Lost Ark). This item can be bought from Firebox for around $60, who describe their product thus:

"Roast chicken and Shepherds pie just won't cut it any more. Your body is a temple, a temple of doom, and it deserves to be fed something far more exciting.

Firebox's monkey brains bowl, not for the faint of heart!

So why not liven up meal times with this Monkey Brains Bowl and scoop chilled cerebral delicacies straight from its hairy gaping cranium. If this fine piece of severed simian storage is good enough for his Supreme Highness, the Maharajah of Pankot (and he knew how to party), then it's certainly good enough for you. You can fill it with all sorts of exotic delights like crispy Coleoptera beetles, Eye-ball soup and "Snake Surprise" ...or something more boring, like cornflakes.

It's an undeniably tasteful dining vessel, though the sight of it may cause more squeamish dinner guests to roll their eyes back and faint melodramatically."

Would this be something you would buy to serve up dessert to your guests? Or how would you use yours? Let us know in the comments below!
