Wind-up Monkey Chef

I may be sick of cooking but not sick enough to have this chef cook for me.
This c1880 wind-up monkey was made by the famous French toy manufacturer Roullet & Decamps. The toy is based on a macabre French children's song, La Mère Michel, in which a chef prepares and serves his neighbor's cat.
