From battered snake to spit-roasted bats, the smorgasbord of traditional delicacies on offer are not exactly appetizing. But they are ready made in the markets so that they can be bought by the local to fulfill their appetite. It is a taboo for those who do not eat but it can be the delicacies to the locals of Indonesia. The live dogs in the cages are roasted with the blowtorches on the pavement. Three meter long snakes are also sprawled in the tables so that they can be bought by the locals. The next recipes include pickled rats, boar legs, and bite-size bats on sticks and roasted lizards are cut open and displayed on their backs with their insides on show.
It is totally awful to see such scenes where the animals are killed without any reasons and they are killed brutally. The market, in the northern region of Sulawesi was in the controversy in 1993 after government inspectors found sellers trading babirusa, an endangered type of wild pig. Despite numerous regulations put in place, it took years to eliminate the trade. However, the bizarre market is being the tourist attraction but few are willing to taste their way through the full menu.
