I was at this street market a few years ago. My daughter was going to brave a scorpion, but our guide told her that the last people she brought there bought one and when they broke it open there were live maggots inside. Great photos.
Okay, so the pattern on the sheep thingies is really interesting and almost pretty....but I've heard it said that the Chinese eat every part of an animal........waste not, want not, I suppose...but not for me!!!
Oh my gosh, those. . . . . .ewww! My hubby was in China a couple years ago and loved all of the different things. Great photos, although I'm not sure I'd eat most of that. Happy Wordless Wednesday!
Great pictures. I remember having so much fun with the food in China (Beijing, Shanghai, Suzhou, etc.) a few years ago. Even braved some of the street food as long as I could see the cooking space and process. Delicious.
My - not for the squeamish! The real question is, did you sample any of the local fare?
ReplyDeleteHappy WW to you!

ReplyDeleteRamona is right this market is not for the weak stomach. I guess it depends where you grow up and what you get used to.
ReplyDeleteEw.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll pass on those foods, Keith!

ReplyDeleteOh dear, I think I've just lost my appetite.
ReplyDeleteRemind me to NEVER visit a Chinese street market. Nice photos though.
ReplyDeleteUm, I have no words. Other than... Thank goodness I've already eaten my lunch...
ReplyDeleteI have never tried any or would like to.. Aww always wanted a sea horse... as a pet in a bowl though..
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting., nice shots.,,

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I'm Asian but I think I'll pass on those exotic dishes too :P

ReplyDeleteI have to say, I glad they don't serve that at the local Chinese restaurant.

ReplyDeleteGreat pictures though!!! :)
I'm fascinated by the things people eat around the world. So much what we consider edible is set in our childhoods. Great shots.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Glad I don't live there.
ReplyDeleteHere's mine: What to Wear to Go Hiking in Yellowstone Park.
Lots to choose from. ;) I do like eating different types of food. This may go slightly over my comfort zone.
ReplyDeleteWho'd'a thunk?!?!? Neat finds!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. You have just convinced me to be a Vegetarian. YUCK!
ReplyDeleteI am always open to local food and love to try out things I don't know, but these with the best will I couldn't eat !
