I like Laab Ma

Padek usually does the trick.

Any kind of insect, especially Maeng Da. The big ones a little strong.

Up north I see good home made kai yo ma but they are really Chinese food.

I'll turn it around, what western food turns the stomach of Lao people? Strong Cheese?

yes, those duck eggs are called "balut" in the Philippines. In fact they are even featured in the U.S. TV show called "Fear Factor" where if the contestant cannot finish eating these eggs, they lose the game.

Those ant eggs look nasty. How do they taste?
