After our brief respite at the pool, we decided to walk into town and check it out. Let's just say, Siem Reap isn't the most inspiring place for a walk. We spent some time in teh market, and then made our way to the main restaurant and bar area. We had heard about a bar that showed sporting events, and went to check it out. But the girl working the door wasn't very helpful, and couldn't tell us if there would be any games on that evening. (We were trying to catch the match between Chelsea and Newcastle.)
We walked back into the main part of town for dinner, and settled on a restaurant. What I ate is of no consequence here, as the real story is: JEN ATE SNAKE!!!
I have to admit, it smelled awful as it cooked, but I held back from any judgements until she had a chance to try it herself. I managed a bite, swallowed with a large drink of water, and we agreed: very, very chewy. But hey, it was snake, and how often can you say that?
Unfortunately, between the persistent mosquitos and the rooster that set to crowing at 5am, we didn't sleep too well that night. OR maybe the snake kept us up?

wow, jen's taking this carnivore thing seriously.
I reject judy's comment completely A snake has no hands- not really a contest to eat. You need something that can fight back, with claws. Like a Bear. Or a Tyrannosaurus Rex. :)
Ok ok ok...so Jen eats 1/2 - HALF mind you of a FO burger - and we're all like yeah, let's ease Jen into this eating meat thing and take it slow. You put the girl on a plane to SE Asia and she goes and eats SNAKES?!? (plane, snakes... snakes on a plane... hahahahaha - and no Frank, I have not been drinking!) Do you have pictures of it? Kristen, please tell me there is photographic evidence. And how in the world was the snake cooked? Grilled? bbq? Boiled? Baked? Tell me more!
