People Are Eating Roasted Lizard with Rice In Vietnam

Last Updated on 2020-01-17 , 10:09 pm

Most of us have encountered lizards in our homes. These creepy-crawlers have been scaling our walls ever since we invented walls.

I know you know what they look like, but here’s a picture to creep you out.

Our first impulse upon seeing a lizard is to back away in disgust, but have you ever looked at one and thought Yum? 

I certainly have, I mean, look at those meaty legs and succulent torso.

If you’re like me and you think these lizards look tasty, then you might want to take a trip to Vietnam.

Lizard Rice Bowls

Vietnam is famous for Pho, but a newcomer might knock the popular noodle soup dish off its perch.

Viral Cham, a Malaysian Chinese viral site recently posted photos of a strange new dish found in the Southeast Asian country.

It looks like this.

Yes, it’s a lizard rice bowl.

I know, your mouth is watering, isn’t it?

The viral site even posted photos of the preparation process, to add to the disgust of netizens.

First, they are gently caressed as the cook explains how their sacrifice is necessary for the preservation of mankind.

They are then weighed in what must be the most disgusting basket of all time.

Finally, they are roasted over a fire until they are crisp.

Then, they are served on a bowl of rice.

Now, I know the idea of eating lizards will repulse you, but if you think about it, almost everything we eat is weird.

I mean, who looked at a cow and thought, Yeah, we should definitely drink the white stuff that comes out of its body?

And who looked at a chicken’s egg and thought, damn, we should definitely fry that and eat it on toast?

And a durian looks more like a primitive weapon than a fruit, but we all know how delicious it is.

My point is this; eat lizards.

Humans already eat weird things and you’ll never know how tasty something could be if you don’t shove it in your mouth.

(Goody Feed does not encourage eating live lizards. We believe you should cook them first, preferably over a fire with some light seasoning)
