            Thailand has many interesting food especially in the central but you never know about a weird food in the northeastern. So now I would like you to know the 5 bizarre food in the northeastern, Thailand. I want you to try bizarre food because it maybe weird but it's very delicious. 

1. Larb Leuat Neua (Raw Beef with Uncooked Blood)


        If you thought you were manly for ordering your beef rare at the local steakhouse, well you’re nothing compared to this. Folks, this is completely RAW. Yup, because doing the sensible thing and putting it over a flame to kill the bacteria is not macho enough.

      What’s that you say? What about steak tartare? Just to one-up their western counterparts, larb leuat neua is served with a healthy dollop of uncooked blood. That’s right. To go along with the uncooked meat comes uncooked blood! Pretty much akin to eating the meat straight off the cow I suppose.

2. Mok Huak (Developing Tadpoles)

     
               At first glance eating a plate of developing tadpoles might not scare off the seasoned exotic food hunter. After all, they’re shaped somewhat like a small fish. Except that some of them might have started growing legs and feet.

      But then the smell hits you. And boy does it hit hard. The dish is coated with a generous serving of fermented fish sauce, and any determination you had 10 seconds ago to conquer this dish just went right out the window. Instead you’d be thinking to yourself, “why do I put myself through this?”

3. Scorpions


               You’ll need to be careful on this one, make sure that the vendor has removed the sting out of the tail of the scorpion. (it contains venom which is unlikely to be covered in your travel insurance). A horrible, bitter aftertaste soon ensues, making you question yourself for the 10th time that night, wondering “why the hell did I do this again?”

       Tip: For those who want to appear extra macho, ask for the scorpions to be alive. That’s right, in this day and age where everything can be found on the internet, you need a way to stand out. It’s time to go big or go home.

4. Deep-fried frog skin


         Speaking of snout to tail (or bug-eyes to webbed feet?), frog ends up in many dishes in Northern Thailand and cooks make use of virtually every bit. Instead of serving just the legs, like those picky French, Thai cooks often hack up the whole skinned amphibian for soups and stews. (I like to call this, “everything but the ribbit.”) Sometimes the leftover skin gets dried out then deep-fried for a crunchy snack, as in this photo. Taken after way too much whiskey at a roadside drinking establishment outside of Chiang Mai, it’s as blurry as my vision was at the time.

5. Hon Mhai (Silk Worms)


        A quick taste test of this quickly brings a thought to the back of your mind, “If they taste so awful, why not we just leave them alive and let them what they do best – spin silk.”

        All of  them is the weird food that you should try. I hope you'll enjoy and like it.
