Not for those who are Vegetarians
After a full morning of bike riding we stumbled upon a small place to eat. The owners were enjoying a home cooked meal in their restaurant since they didn’t have any customers. As soon as we appeared at the doorstep they cleared the table in a matter of seconds and set the table with bowls and chopsticks and started pouring tea for all of us. Being a small family run business they didn't have a menu so communicating with them was a challenge. One by one they starting bringing out the vegetables from the kitchen to show us so we could pick out the ones we wanted. When the language becomes a barrier there is always a second method. I am not a picky eater but I am glad that I didn’t see the contents of the fridge until after I had finished eating. As you can see, by looking at the picture they do not cover or wrap their meat before they place it in the fridge. As soon as they obtain the meat it goes directly onto the shelf in the fridge. Raw meat just piled up upon itself does not look so appetizing in my opinion. Our meal was really delicious and provided us with the energy we need to continue biking for the rest of the day and none of us got sick.
