Beetle-Nut

I have spoken about the chewing of beetle-nut here before. At the pizaar in Knek Leung they were selling it everywhere. I quizzed the young seller about how to place it in your mouth the correct way. She told me that you wrap it in these green leaves with some kind of pink creamy stuff which somehow activates the active ingredient. I put a round piece of it in my mouth for just a quick second and boy was it nasty tasting! It sure must give you a nice buzz for people to put up with the taste. I guess we could say the same thing about beer or cigarettes or a lot of things though! rick

I rather liked the pig’s head. The market is always an interesting visit. gail
