[Beware the Beast Man]

1. I've had skewers, but that's about it.

Some of that doesn't look too appealing, I'm afraid to say.

2. Oh yeah - the grubs definately don't look so hot

but there's alot there that tempts me. But I'm adventurous. I really like seeing how it's done in the original country. You should try Pho - its a nodle soup that they make all over. It's really freaking good.

4. Have you had durian(sp?)

I've heard good and bad things about it.

5. I loved it!

But boy, it would really reek in the market. Tastes much better than it smells. I think the best thing about it is the rich creamy texture. Almost like pudding, really. Actually, another fruit with a similar texture (without the smell) is custard-apple. That was my favorite. Or rambutan. Or ripe mangoes with sticky rice. Ummmmm.

Damn, now I'm hungry again! :7

6. (pant, pant) The soups are making my mouth water. . .

Any one of those plus some fish sauce, soy sauce and a bottle or beer, and I'm happy.
