I liked the shaped pears. The Hmongs in Lao do this with some sort of fruit and theirs look like a standing buddha. I see them for sale at all the Hmong markets and they are usually expensive. They are animists and they use them in their traditional ceremonies.
Well last time I was there several months ago they just said expensive........I asked how expensive and they tried to tell me $20. haha. I bet they are less than $5, but they maybe don't want to sell it to a foreigner because it's for their ceremonies. I don't know what kind of fruit or veg it is but they are always dried and sold alongside a bunch of other strange stuff they use. I'll take a photo when I'm back to that market in the next couple weeks.
Divine spirit, make me an instrument of peace
Where there is hatred, let me sow love,
Where there is injury, pardon,
Where there is doubt, faith,
Where there is despair, hope,
Where there is darkness, light,
Where there is sadness, joy...
-Prayer of St. Francis
