Shocking dinner in Vietnam - Part 5

SPECIALTIES - COBRA (continuation, p.5) As soon as the next glass is half filled, he tore off one of the serpentine bodies (which - I do not know), and squeezed to the same liquid, similar to the bile. Then he raised his glasses, put them before us and made a gesture of his bloodied hand, offering us to drink it. Within seconds we sat in silence, staring at the glasses. I'm sick with disgust cheekbones. Honda, Hung and I exchanged uncertain glances nervously pohihikali ... and drank. It was thick. Warm. Disgusting. The old man smiled approvingly when we drank the blood. Then, without warning, he again slipped his strong arm in the body of a snake, but this time deeper. With the awful squish it tore the heart and threw it into the empty glass standing in the middle of the table. We are stunned and disgusted look on it as the heart continues to beat in the glass. The old man went with what was left of a cobra and a few minutes later returned with the beer. We are hard drinking and his disingenuous scoffed at our unusual aperitif and still beating heart. Over the next two hours the old man always appeared with different dishes and snakes. They were all surprisingly tasty. First there was the grilled meat with vegetables. Then we were served soup and rolls snake eggs and chowder, where swimming snake vertebrae. We also tried the ribs, fried with ginger and rice crackers. And finally, a good fried snake skin, the taste is a bit like fried pork skin, if you so ever eaten. I note that it was one of my best dinners for the whole journey. Also nice to know that the snake is completely gone in the matter. Start material: End of Material: See also: You are sunbathing at the provincial beach in Vietnam? A great way to be original! Cockroaches - beneficial insects, they eat worms ... in a train compartment quiet town on the banks of the River Fragrance Beggars against the backdrop of ancient architecture are non-Chinese city with Chinese influence, former prison island, and now - a good place for diving
