For a country that is technically atheist there are a lot of monks wandering around the place.

Buddists are supposed to be vegetarian but this too seems to be ignored in Laos. If it moves, then people eat it. Frogs, grass hoppers, bats......

Such food might give you the judders but compared to Cambodia where deep fried cock roaches and spiders are on the menu a Mc Frog burger seems almost Cordon Bleu.
