- "Chilled monkey brains."
- ―A Merchant, regarding the unusual dish.[src]

A Primate Parfait served to Willie Scott.
Primate Parfait[1] was a dessert served at the Guardian of Tradition Dinner in Pankot Palace consisting of soft, chilled monkey brains served within the open head of the primate. In 1935, a Pankot merchant was confused that Willie Scott was not eating it. After discovering all the previous courses repulsive, Willie ended up fainting in disgust, having lost all hope in acquiring a satisfying course.[2] Upon seen the scene Indiana wondered how attractive life in the palace as the wife of a monkey-brain-eating, teenaged maharajah seemed to her now.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
- "This is quite a meal. I wonder what our host are planning to serve us next."

For Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, whipped cream, food coloring and Jell-O was used for the Primate Parfait.[4]
The Primate Parfait brains were made of custard with raspberry saurce.[5]
