At the market of Chauk
Myanmar (Burma), Chauk, March 2012

I was asked for the name of the vegetables shown in the market view two pictures back. Here is a close-up of that mysterious vegetable. Perhaps it gives someone a clue?

Lalbabu came with the following comment: "These are betel leaves which grow abunduntly in India, Bangladesh & Burma. People of these countries used to chew these leaves with some mixture of ingradients. There are two types of leaves sweet & spicy."

Thanks Soumen!

My wife had the same idea Doris. Meanwhile Lalbabu informed us that these are betel leaves (see his comment above).
