| In addition to the above species, "can to" (water crayfish) is also a "horrifying" food, but is caught by Thai people and processed into a stir-fried dish with a little bamboo shoot juice. Crayfish has a shape similar to a centipede, lives underwater, and is caught by crushing coi leaves (a type of leaf picked from the forest) and dropping them into the water source. Crayfish's eyes sting and they crawl out, and people can easily "catch" them. Photo: D.T. |

| In addition, moss, a plant that grows on streams, is collected to make the irresistible dish moọc. With its clean, delicious and nutritious characteristics, these "specialties" are not only favored by highland people but are also widely sought after for sale. Photo: D.T. |
