Popular Post ikke1959 Posted July 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 4, 2022 Is that the food kids get in school to eat?? Thai food is good food, but this is......... not worth eating it...Give decent food made by a decent cook . It is important for kids to have a good meal maybe it is the only good meal they can have as some kids are very poor... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once saw the half&half baby chicken & egg variety eaten by people right next to me. My appetite was gone... I'm sure there is also half duck & egg. Is baby mouse perhaps a delicacy in parts of the Northeast? I wouldn't bet against it. Edited July 4, 2022 by StayinThailand2much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AhFarangJa Posted July 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 4, 2022 Forget the mouse for a minute, can anyone recognise what Thai dish the meal is supposed to be. To my eyes it look like chopped fried cockroaches, with crab shell, and ant eggs. Something tells me the Children's meal allowance for the school is being diverted to other things........ 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's called Salmon surprise but the omission of Salmon is apparently the only part that is not the surprise. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wander around the streets selling them to the shout of ' Balut ' ......which is short and to the point.

The kids are supposed to pay only 20 baht or so for their school lunch. With rising food costs, I can imagine that sellers cut costs and just sell "dirt" (or the lowest quality of food they can get) to the them...

Misterwhisper Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 What's the big deal? Pork intestines and congealed pork blood "cubes", grilled lizards, insects in any form and description, steamed "maengdar", skewered tarantulas, morning glory straight from the cesspool, jellyfish and sea cucumbers, half raw cockles, duck fetuses in their eggshells, "dancing" shrimps, ant eggs, snake blood, fermented fish, fermented rice paddy crabs, dried squid and octopus, dog and cat meat in the upper northeast. And yes, even grilled or fried baby mice and rats are served in quite a few Thai regions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEBBYB808 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 I thought rat, or rodent, is a Thai staple in their diet. I see you tube videos, and have seen them in person prepare and eat rat. They could care less if its a vector animal. They could care less that COVID is said to come from eating bats, and a rat is the same as a bat without wings. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we are there: A little mouse walked into a musical instrument shop and asked for a mouse organ. The guy behind the counter said "that's strange, we have a mouse in yesterday asking for the very same thing". "Oh, that must have been Our Monica" replied the mouse. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea how Thai food got its reputation. A lot of it is deep fried, and much of it is based on Chinese or Indian cuisine. One time in a restaurant the food I was given was so filled with chilies that it completely killed the taste of anything on the plate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually the money is squandered and the kids get old rice and rotten vegetables. .....Or in this case baby mouse parts.
