What’s a wet market? Up until 3 years ago, I always thought a wet market was a dirty stinky market in Third World countries that was always wet. I believed it because every time I left, my slippers and feet were so slimy, sticky, and stinky. But even thought I didn’t like walking through one, I would always end up there at the end of the day eating dinner. I just loved to experience what the locals ate. This particular one was in Cambodia. Would you eat that? I did and it tasted like some kind of a little skinny bird. More bones then meat.
I’m not sure if I’m even supposed to post photos like this but since this is reality, there should be no surprises. I still remember the smell passing through this wet market. It smelt like death which I’m not use to.
This might not look delicious to you, but it sure is to people that are hungry. When traveling to local wet markets where no other tourist go, you will see dishes like this. And it really makes you realize that absolutely nothing goes to waste. So I give them credit for that. I was pretty hungry this day but I had to pass up on this dish. When you’re there it actually looks edible, but now looking back at this closeup photo, I don’t think I’m that brave.
by the way, wasn’t the Coronavirus born in a wet market in China? That’s a scary thought…
