Taking a bite into stir-fried snake


Would I be doing this at home? Probably not, but trying different things is what travelling is all about. In this restaurant, they had glass tanks in the back with frogs, eels, and snakes.
Other wierd food in Vietnam? They have duck eggs (slightly larger than chicken eggs) with not-yet-fully-developed embryos inside. I've seen people sitting on sidewalk tables with a dish of hard-boiled duck eggs, and the patrons eating the eggs with spoons. Yum! I haven't tried this yet, but we'll see what happens in the next few weeks.
