I never tried it. I stuck to
sampling the homemade rice wine on Inle. And 50
cent mojitos with fresh juice and mint at a small place I discovered in Old Bagan

In reply to Scott Muehlbauer. I tried it in Myanmar. Knocked me on my butt. They wrap it in a leaf into some kind of package with some other stuff, lime, coconut and other mystery ingredients.

In reply to Scott Muehlbauer. Scott yeah they chew it in India, Taiwan and probably other countries. I tried it on a food tour. Chewing tobacco is similar-- mouth cancer.

In reply to Scott Muehlbauer. whatever it is, it is an absolutely disgusting habit! the red spit everywhere. Handsome people who smile and reveal red stained teeth (if their teeth haven't already fallen out because of chewing betel nut)

In reply to Scott Muehlbauer. You actually forced me to learn something today. It's actually not even a nut; but rather a berry

Betel nut is not ‘a chewing tobacco’ btw.
