Good Eatin’ in Thailand
February 12th, 2007 | by Paolo |Everyone talks about how good Thai food is. And of course, they’re right. Here are some delicacies from a neighborhood market in Chiang Mai. Thanks to Daniel Spector and Kelly Buehler for taking me shopping with them.
An afternoon snack for the kids:
Why have a little bit of pork, when you can have a lot?

Are those fried caterpillars? I’m torn between the “ewwww!” reflex and wanting to try one. I mean, they’re *fried* so they must be crunchy and yummy, right?
BTW, my copy of Fast Forward arrived yesterday. Your story in a book! I read it as soon as I got home - and loved it.

Well, the curly pig doesn’t look any weirder than the fried pork skin round here, but the bowl of worms - I’d love to think I could try one, but…

The worms are fried, and relatively crunchy.
The pork rinds creep me out, though.
