Looks like dried fish powder, the stuff that is sprinkled on the top of crispy seaweed from the takeaway. Only one way to find out mind...

Erm all those things i ate there aint weird, if anything i knew what i was eating then, in this case, i cant read chinese or the scribling on the packet hence me using common sense and deciding against it.
If i know what it was then yeah but i wont take chances on something that looks like manna from thailand.

Moo = pork (you'd think it would be beef but moo=pig not cow)
Dried pork eaten as a snack kinda like beef jerky.

Right ive done some looking into things.
The language on the packet is Thai.
I found this on google(notice the thai flag and his email address?)

Then i used a translator that came up with this:

Which in that translation from the site i found the word "mulberry paper" Comes up in the title and in the desciption. Same as the Words "Shop" and "package"
mulberry paper in thai is written like this if it helps กระดาษสา

It's dried pork. Quite a popular snack in Thailand. Tastes quite nice, actually - albeit in a "MSG-packed, very bad for you" kind of way.
Must say, the variety that I've tried have always been uniformly beige, not with green bits (so I'm not quite sure whether those are off or just something else mixed in).

I read a book about this australian bloke who got caught for smuggling heroine through Thailand and eventually got caught. He spent about 10 years in the most horrible Thai prisons. A reason so many westerners die in those prisons is because they don't eat the cockroaches and starve due to a lack of protein and fat.
