Edible Three Monkeys? The Three Wise Monkeys motif in a culinary twist
The Three Wise Monkeys motif can surprise — even in the world of flavors. From chocolate figurines and iced cookies, through cakes and table decorations, to playful drink packaging styled after the Three Monkeys gesture.
On this page, we collect delicious examples of culinary creativity inspired by the classic symbol: “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.”
Three Monkeys on the plate and in the glass? We’re encountering the Three Monkeys motif not only in art and pop culture, but increasingly in the kitchen. Confectioners, sweets manufacturers, and even makers of cider or craft drinks draw on the symbolic gestures “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” to give their products a distinctive character.
In our collection you’ll find, among other things, chocolate monkeys, birthday cakes with symbolic decorations, themed cookies, playful beverage labels, and clever packaging that amuses and surprises.
This shows that the Three Monkeys motif permeates everyday life and can even take a seat… at the table.
