Honestly, I think eating a real monkey would be both tastier and healthier, though I'm told the meat can be rather gamey.
A quick bit of googling revealed that "English Monkey" was a bit of gastronomic payback by the Cymric crowd, who were a tad peeved over the implied classist snub of the English naming a similiar dish "Welsh Rabbit" (later "Rarebit"). In that sense, it could been seen as the culinary forerunner of the "diss" rhyme, only substituting soggy bread crumbs for drive-by shootings.

As one of the mongrels who cherishes his Welsh heritage as both the source of fondness for dietary speculation (cf.: "leeks") and his ability to share headgear with theme park sharacters, I thank you for the recipe.
