We have visited many outdoor markets which can be set up for a day and then taken down or some of them stay going 24 hours a day. There are fresh fruit markets and stalls where you can buy papayas, strawberries, durian - stinky fruit, huge grapefruit like fruits that are sweet and crisp, bananas of all shapes and sizes. There are little stalls where you can buy the fruit all packaged in a little clear bag that is closed with a long toothpick. There are mangoes cut into slices, cups of fresh strawberries already sweetened and stalls with fried bananas.
One can see fresh meat all out and ready to be taken home to cook. There are all types of organ meats, fish and poultry. Pigs heads, snouts, knuckles, and head cheese can be purchased by the kilo. There are all different sizes of eggs which can be bought fresh or cooked.
Many stalls on many streets have food to buy that is all prepared for a meal. They have curries, rice and noodle dishes of every kind. These meals cost from one dollar to two dollars.
Many kinds of bugs are sold to eat. There were grasshoppers, crickets, beetles and many other insects.
