Nightlife Eats
Nightlife in Taiwan has it's similarities and differences when compared to the States. While there are 'pubs' and clubs, nightlife truly exists in their night markets. What are they? you ask. Essentially, they are streets packed full of people, food carts, and clothes. Night markets spring to life around 5 P.M. and do not shut down until 2 A.M. With this sort of eating habit, how is everyone SO skinny? It's something that has been boggling my mind ever since the first night I saw my roommates go out and buy fried chicken at 10P.M. Here are only a few of the things I ate at one of my night market outings.
MMM...a little rubbery
Coffin sandwich with beef and pork. Named after it's coffin-like purpose: container of the deceased.

She couldn't get her eyes off of it
Now, this probably takes the cake!
Chicken comb: delicious, but I couldn't quite get past the image in my head
Fresh squid soup

I never knew that fish eggs could become ONE. These fish eggs have been smashed into a thick, salty substance. Quite expensive!
Served on a toothpick with a piece of green onion.
Large intestine wrapping a small intestine. It sounds gross, but it's actually delicious. The large intestine is actually filled with rice, so similar to the skin of a hot dog. The small intestine is actually sausage. Not too disgusting, eh?
