Compared with the insect-eating rats in Guangzhou, Yunnan, China, the summit market in the Tomohong volcanic area is simply a veritable "horror market". Bats, rats, pythons... Animal carcasses, sinister expressions, and bloody stalls are disgusting, but these are the foods that Indonesia's earliest Minahasa people used to eat.
