My landlady in Vientiane gave me these fresh bananas which she had cut from the tree in my front yard. The sap is still on the stalk.
Banana leaves from that tree. Banana leaves have many uses - they can be used as coverings for tables, disposable dishes and most often, wrapping for Khao Tom, a snack made of sticky rice mixed with beans or coconut or meat and steamed.

The dish you mentioned with the banana leaves has me feeling hungry now.

Banans straight from the tree must be wonderful to taste. They do look a lot healthier than our supermarket ones.
Nice photographs and very interesting.
I liked it a lot.

That bus is priceless. I love the buffalo - do they have buffalo fights in VN as they do in Thailand?
