The Offal Quiz
I was grumbling my way around Ben Thanh market this morning when I paused at this stall. This is one of the two main offal sellers on Ben Thanh. The two stalls meet you as you enter from the Le Thanh Ton side. I remembered learning about the delights of offal on the excellent BBC Radio Food Programme. I eat it, I sometimes cook with it, but I don't really know my pipes from my tubes. Maybe you can help? Introducing The Offal Quiz.
There are no prizes in this quiz, but it's a fantastic opportunity to show the world how well you know your way around the interior landscape of farm animals. 14 pictures to name at The Offal Quiz. Answers in the comments on Flickr probably works best. I recommend the slideshow view to get yourself tuned in.
Sounds like fun!

After looking at this, perhaps people might want to visit 'The Meatrix'. http://www.themeatrix.com

Hi,
From our left to right of the lady vendor, it's large intestine and liver. Then to her side, large rectangualr blocks are congealed pigs blood and above that beef bones. The other stuff is too small to make out.
The 2nd picture looks like pigs' ears on the left and pigs' brains on the right.
Brains tend to have a sweet taste to them but maybe it's the way my dad prepares it. Shrug.
Enjoy,
GK

Just for your info, not all of us can take this! ugh!... Even though I was told that there are certain nutrion value to certain internal part of the animals... they still pretty yucky to my taste buds!!!
