With his wrinkled fingers, he took one tamilok, washed it in a pitcher of water and trying to empty its insides. After a few seconds, he held its head by its teeth, dipped it in spicy vinegar and placed it in his mouth. I stood there wide eyed.
Now it was my turn. With a little trepidation but more of excitement, I did not object or squirm. I stood my ground. After he cleaned another worm and gave it to me, I held it at its teeth and head, twirled it on the white saucer with the spicy vinegar, and with a deep breath, placed it in my mouth.
Salty, spicy, soft and just tasted delicious. Just like eating raw oysters but better. Some more of this stuff and I had my fill!
