Chang Mai Market

We signed up for a Thai cookery course at the 'Thai Thai Cookery School' which included a trip round a local market where our guide pointed out to us types of strange fruit and vegetables and bought some for us to taste.

The market had all sorts including fried insects. Was going to try some but our guide said somepeople are allergic to them and react badly. Didn't want to risk it so wimped out. Saw something I reckognised I had eaten a few days previously that turned out to be fried insect legs. They were salty.

The market had lots of fresh produce including frogs packed into a basket and fish in fish tanks ready to picked out. Also had pigs heads and intestines on show that didn't go down to well with a vegetarian girl on the course.
