I was on the Africa trip with Clinton, in fact my last overseas trip with him, but not when I ate the monkey. That happened when I was flying C-141s out of CHS. While we were refueling, the crew headed over the the terminal to get something to eat. The menu said "hamburger" so we all got one. Tasted a little "gamey" but I was starving so I forged on. Later, I asked the waitress what sort of "beef" that was. Turns out, they don't have cows in Liberia, but a ****load of monkeys. I can still taste it. Yikes.
