Nope--I think the skin is impossible to eat. It was extremely tough--tougher than the flesh.<br /><br />It was a little weird, but I can see getting attached to muk-tuk.

Not something I'd have ever considered tasting. Although your description makes it sound like it might not be too bad. Did it seem to melt as you chewed? What was the flavor (was buttery the flavor or texture - or both) & did you eat the skin? See - you really have made me curious!Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10067111863412354714noreply@blogger.com
