Many
Birmese people are vegetarian. Also backpacking tourists tend to be vegetarian
in Myanmar.
Personally I do eat meat also when in Myanmar. Burmese people are very hospitable and more than
once I was invited to eat with them. At times I was invited to go with my host to the market
to choose the meat from a fly-invaded table. I never got ill as my hosts surely did know how to deal
with food they bought like this. Eating outside is no problem when you observe the following: Look if the
food is cooking, look if many people eat at the place where you want to eat, look if the owner of the
place looks healthy. Also watervendors did not give me any problem as well as the ice-cream.You should
try the lovely strawberry-ice cream at the Nylon ice-parlour in Mandalay. Mr Japan in Yangon also can
be recommended
