Barbecue Snake and Other
Delights
![]() ![]() Our tour boat stopped along the
Mekong River and we found ourselves at a small ‘homestead’. Crossing lots of
little rickety bridges we passed many irrigation
channels and passed many kinds of fruit
tree.
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Pretty
bits, orderly bits and messy bits took us to the other side of the
grounds.
![]() We admired a paddy
field and headed back for a shandy.
![]() ![]() Bear gathered the
shandy makings from the fridge and went to pay, that had to be done on
the other side by the BBQ, this is where he had an
idea........
![]() Bear saw the
menu. I’ve ordered snake, right you
are then, better go and look.
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The man took a chap from the bucket, showed the gathered
tourists, let it wiggle about a bit and just
as it stretched out gave its head a smack rap on the
the edge of the BBQ.
![]() ![]() Then he flung the snake in the flames beneath the grill where it continued to
writhe for a while. Meanwhile, someone’s rat was deemed
cooked.
![]() ![]() I took in the tank of newts, the frogs in
marinade.
![]() ![]() Snails
intent on escape and ‘stuff’ at the other end of the
BBQ.
![]() Bear’s snake now cooked was chopped up with a pair of scissors.
![]() ![]() Nicely
presented, it could have been so many things, save for the dangly bits.
![]() Verdict: I thought it tasted like
nothing with a firm texture. Bear thought it tasted
like chicken giblets, declaring I’d like a much fatter
one..........
