On the Rio: Susan Tedeschi ~ Just Won't Burn
You eat them by ripping the top off with your fingernail and then eating the white flesh inside, but not the pit. They are delicious! We bought a whole bag for our lunch dessert. This is the inside after I opened it.
The peppers and chiles are very hot.
The small round green, purple and white items are mini eggplants - as you can see are even smaller than the Japanese ones in the center. These are often used in the curry dishes.
Then came eggs. I had never seen a pink egg before. Our guide called them "dung" eggs because they are supposedly black inside. Mmmm...I didn't buy one to have a look. And what kind of "chicken" do you suppose lays these eggs?
You can buy various types of fresh shrimp, or even squid.
Frogs (and not just the legs) are quite a delicacy.
Can you guess what's in the next picture? Sure, bean sprouts in lower left. How about behind it? That's coagulated animal blood. And the items next to them that look like cheese are actually bean curd.Still hungry? How about some beetles.
Or perhaps some rice rats. They must go great with bananas.
