Just out of curiosity, how did you verify that it was in fact that species? I mean, if you beat a monkey to death at your table, or buy a live civet, you see it before its served. I recently read about a firm selling "what's that meat" biochem assays on a chip. Useful for everyone from gourmets to kosher to customs.
