Thai Festival Food, Isaan Thailand.

I ventured to the local New Year Festival here in Ubon Ratchathani. Apart from shopping and games there was a huge amount of food on offer.
Dried fish
This is dried fish. It isn’t too smelly but tastes horrible. Well to me that is. Maybe you would like it.
Sweet smelling coffee
I cannot tell you how good this smelt.
Sweets
This is sweet heaven for anyone who likes candy.
Pizza oven
And a mobile pizza oven.
Thai pizza
Pizza only 49 Baht.
Coconuts
Fresh coconut juice, only 10 Baht. If you want the gelatin type in the bag that still has the husk on you pay 20 Baht. It is very delicious.
Sticky rice
I love these. This is sticky rice made into patties. They are coated in an egg mixture and grilled.
Dried squid
You see these all throughout Thailand, dried squid. It really smells especially when they are warming it. They then put it through a roller that softens it.
Squid skewers
Noot’s favourite food, squid skewers.
Fairy floss
Bags of fairy floss.
Hotdogs
Hotdogs of many different ingredients. The machine rolls them and heats them.
Thai hamburgers
Hamburgers with hotdog, chicken and salad.
Thai waffles
Waffles, I love the raisin and strawberry waffles. I had one of each, delicious.
Thai sweet
And more sweets. They look better than they taste.
Processed meats
An array of processed meats on a stick.
Strawberries
Strawberries that are coated in a sugar mix or plain.
Mangoes
Cool green mangoes. Thais love mango bitter and dip it in salt and chili.
Worms
Anyone for bugs. These are a type of worm.
Birds and roaches
Sorry for the quality of this picture. These are tiny birds and huge roach looking bugs, deep fried.

That was just some of the food. There was plenty more on display to tempt punters. Hope you enjoyed.

Brunty.
