Eating like a local

We love eating the food that locals eat. Why because you get to experience what they eat on a regular basis. We have also had better food than we have had back home when we eat foods that the locals eat. One of my favorite food that we have eaten was barbecued coconut. We got it from a street vendor in Thailand. It was wrapped in a banana leaf and it was so yummy. My dad's favorite thing that we had a the trip was going to the markets and getting jackfruit. Jackfruit is like fruity gum that you can get at a supermarket. Tutti fruity gum was actually based on jackfruit so if you try jackfruit and you think it tastes like tutti fruity gum there is a reason. Jackfruit is like a mango and a pineapple put together. My Moms favorite thing on the whole entire trip was drinking coffee. Her favorite was the coffee that she got from the street vendor in Jordan.
