During our stroll around town last weekend we enjoyed walking past lots of fresh food markets, selling any number of weird and wonderful fruits and interesting bits of dead animal… which reminds me chicken legs and feet are on most menus here. Will let you know if we are ever brave enough to try those particular delicacy's.
We were both amused by the ginger cat talking to the cadged chickens for sale at the market.
(L) Ant displaying his pink wet wipes… he does like a good wet wipe. (R) Ant drinking fresh yoghurt lassie from a street stand. Many streets are lined with little stalls and stands which have several small plastic stools to sit on whilst you eat or drink. One particularly delightful stall which I must get a photo of at some point is (for lack of a better description) the seemingly popular animal innards stall. Here you get a wooden skewer and can choose the intestine bit of your choice (which has been cooking on the stove), there are then jam jars of sauces to dip your skewer into. YUM?
A typical Burmese meal – rice, salad, sour soup, and a selection of vegetable and meat/fish curries of your choice. This type of food is not too spicy, but quite tasty… perhaps somewhere between Indian and Thai… since the photo was taken I have become less pasty (sunburn through grey clouds incident) and thinner (commencement of the Dysentery Diet – most likely unrelated to photographed meal… and in truth highly unlikely to actually be dysentery, but never before have I been known to not want to eat for 4 days… after some self prescription of antibiotics things seem to be improving).
