Blog Post #20 - Top FRESH finds at the Market

Let's just say that a stroll through the market in Laos is nothing like walking through your neighbourhood Safeway. It can be a sensory overload, and decisions are more complicated than Doritos Sweet Chili Heat or Cheddar Sun Chips. Instead, would you like your squirrel with spicy sauce or salt? I still haven't decided.....


Song birds have never sounded (tasted) so sweet....

I hear they make great pets.....in a soup

Can it get more fresh than a couple of squirrels?!.....the ones on the left are just sleeping.....the guys on the right are tanning (I don't think they are squirrels)

These fish were still jumping in the basket.....now that's FRESH

These guys were a little bit more dead
Caught her smiling at me ;)

These next fresh finds are from Thailand (more specifically Khao San Road. If you know anything about Bangkok, Khao San is not overly authentic so not a true reflection of Thai freshness).


Doesn't look very appetizing

More like an expensive tourist trap

...but I still dived in to give a few bugs a try
But one of my favorite freshest finds from LAOS....

LAO-TUCKY FRIED CHICKEN!

Still a FALANG (foreigner) at heart. 

Enjoy the week ahead!
