weird food thread: Vietnamese food

In Vietnam dogs are still eaten. Sorry, but Thai food is a thousand times more tastier than anything from Vietnam.
 
The duck eggs with 1/2 to 3/4 of the growth duck inside are something else. I can't even look at them, let alone eat them.

Have you been in VN and ate real authentic VN foods and not the generic/water down foods for tourists? If you did, you would not make that statement.
 
I have a strict policy on never eating anything that's still moving.

I think it's starting to get rarer among the middle and upper classes in China, based on anecdotal evidence.

Balut. IIRC. it's from the Philippines. I've heard it tastes like chicken and is a tad on the chewy side. I'll eat durian before I put that in my mouth.
 
OMFG! That is discussing. I'm Vietnamese and I have tried many weird food from Central America to various parts of Asia, but I have never seen/heard of that.

Coconut worms. Suppose to be very "fatty" tasting.

It's considered an aphrodisiac.

It's not that bad. It's more the gross factor that stops people from eating it more than anything. Not a big fan, but I've eaten it.

Durian is not bad. Smell aside, it's very sweet tasting and has a creamy texture.

Including Burma, Thailand Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia, Philippine, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Timor, Pakistan, India, most if not all of African/Central America/South America countries, as well as many Eastern and Western EU.

Perhaps that yummy Thai street bbq/grilled meat that Mai72 had isn't chicken or pork as he was told.

I can almost be 100% certain that what I ate was pork or chicken. I was in Bangkok, so the chance that I was going to eat dog meat was very very small. Now, the closer you get to Vietnam the chance that you will see people eating dog meat is greater. Thai people normally don't eat dog meat. It's illegal and you can get jail time if you're caught.
