Food drying in the streets


Out in the streets in the midst of all the human and other traffic, and dust and pollution are rows of foods drying. We saw fish, chickens, ducks, pieces of pork and other meats, sausages. We saw people making the sausages with big bowls of meat (it looked like pork, and soy sauce) and they used parts of plastic bottles as their funnel, and at one place we saw a woman on the footpath cleaning out pig intestines which are used for the skin of the sausages.



Quite an array of fish - obviously cleaned and opened up - some of the fish and chicken were held open with small wooden skewers.


Hanging out in the street to dry - rather strange sight to us!



Vegetables are drying too. These were on a bridge over a canal on a busy street - hard to tell how much dust and other foreign matter they would collect. Dogs, cars, carts, and spitting men pass this spot continuously.



In the village the sausage shop had rows and rows of product drying.



Drying sausages - almost like a curtain near the canal.
