Vientiane Day 32. I did the nasty.

I ate this today. Roasted.


Apparently roasted honey comb is a popular food in Laos. I took a piece when my colleague offered, saying that it is sweet. Well, you think the place where the bees put all the honey will be sweet, right. WRONG. It's savoury, bordering salty and nasty. Partly because the dead baby bees are trapped inside the combs when it's put on fire.

 If you se the dark-ish color inside the combs - that's where dead babies are. Some of them are in my stomach, in form of unidentified mashed.
