It is one of the biggest markets in the tourist hot spot of Langowan, Indonesia.But you won't want to face this on an empty stomach.From battered snake to spit-roasted bats, the smorgasbord of traditional delicacies on offer are not exactly appetising.Live dogs sit in cages before they are roasted with blowtorches on the pavement.Three-metre-long snakes lie sprawled across the tables of blood-covered carcasses.Other delights 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. The market, in the northern region of Sulawesi, was marred by controversy in 1993 after government inspectors found sellers to be 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 has now become something of a tourist attraction - but few are willing to taste their way through the full menu.Not far from Langowan, the Tomohon Traditional Market also attracts a fair few horrified holidaymakers - and families planning their evening meal.They casually survey the torched animals - lying frozen with a facial expression of horror - before selecting an entire snake or dog to serve up to the kids later.Travel blogger Raymond Walsh described the smell of the Tomohon market on his blog www.manonthelam.com.Mr Walsh said: 'In a word, appalling. There's something about the air that changes when there's that much death around.'It hangs heavy and it made me queasy and light-headed at the same time... It's the first time I'd ever encountered anything like it.' (dailymail.co.uk)Bakudaily.Az
