Thailand Food

More delights and dismay await my taste buds every day.
Ice cream vendor on the street, sticky rice and vanilla sweet
Topped with funny little fruit, no word in English, no way to verboot
Sort of like a gummy candy, sort of like a sweet yam root.
Eating larva- not so neat. Tastes like dirt and deep fried feet.
Dragon fruit, without wings, must I rhyme my food with things?
Like a kiwi only drier, lots of seeds and white flesh prior
Some vendors dye it purple and pink.
Another fruit: smells like a lime is added to my pedicure water
The flesh is green and citrus-ey but the rind is rough and bumpl-ey.
Racks of chicken on the street, with their heads but without feet.
Fish is served all on the plate, fin and tail and eyes for weight.
Vegetarian is not the same: most food has prawns with skin and mane.
Even sauces filled with veg have base of meet and chicken instead.
