Street Food

I would have never in a decade think that I would miss the smell of street food.  Noodles, boiled blood, peanuts, meat of all shapes and sizes on sticks in a broth made of who knows what.  It took some time, but now as I walk down the Hutong Street kitchens I want to eat it all.  As all the faces stare at me, I stare at their food.  What is that?  What's in it?  I'm oddly unafraid of a lot of things, but street food is still scares the heck out of me.

Jwo, I've eaten a lot of weird stuff lately, but I may have to draw the line at boiled blood...
Whose blood? And how do they serve it? Sounds sort of like indiana jones and the temple of doom....

Well I will say that the blood grosses me out more than anything. I would never want to eat it. But I see it everywhere and I am ok to look at it now. You're right though - whoes blood?
