What in the world is that stuff? It looks like a sea cucumber and a medieval mace had a litter of pups. Delicious.
I've been to Guilin (you should go too--it's beautiful), but I wasn't fortunate enough to see any street food festivals while I was there. Actually, come to think of it, I had very little street food there. A real tragedy, that. I did have this yummy seafood on a stick, but not much else:
Whole crabs on the left, whole fish on the right.
You are expected to eat the whole thing, shells and bones and all.
I'll be passing through Guilin again later this year, so check back in October or November to see if I was fortunate enough to find some of those foods that the FoodNut.com people did. Especially that weird spiky looking thing I shared above...
