Belf

A center cut of meat from the extinct African Tuxedo Monkey (known as such for its peculiar coloration: the Tuxedo Monkey was sheer white save three black "buttons" on its chest, black "sleeves" and a curiously correct black "bow-tie"), killed off by colonizing French poachers and gourmands in the northwest of the continent. Belf meat, described by the famous American big game hunter Donovan Scribes in a letter home in 1921 as "tasting of pork, only porkier," was believed to possess aphrodisiacal properties while simultaneously fortifying the consumer against the contraction of venereal disease. While there is no historical forensic evidence supporting this claim, the belief was broadly held, as suggested by the recent entry of "Belvy, the Safe Sex Monkey" in a contest hosted by the government of Ethiopia to determine a sexual education mascot. Though a snappy dresser (Belvy donned a penguin suit, of course), he lost.
