Beijing night time food market
Just around the corner from where we were staying was a night time food market. There was a row of about 100 or so food stalls. Most of the appeared to sell the same stuff, but some of them had some really unique food offerings. Here are a few that caught our attention:Scorpions, Grubs and Crickets
Baby Sharks and Star fish
Squid and Snake

Two people had scorpions in their beds when we were in Honduras...to bad we didn't know you could eat them. The snakes just about have done me in! Mom
I wonder if there is a vendor in a Chinese market similar to the fish people at Pike Place?...Perhaps the tourist appeal of throwing scorpions and sharks is just not the same. Here's the real question: did you try any?
Unfortunately, Bill, we are not that
Whoops, lost the rest of my comment.
We are not that brave. Taking pictures was as close as we got to the insect/reptile offerings. If we would have had someone with us to explain exactly how one eats a scorpian we may have indulged. Really, they just didn't look all that appetizing.
