Requisite trip to the market

One very early morning we took Tamara to the market.  Armed with shoes that could get yucky from the "mud" sludge on the ground and Vicks Vapo-Rub for under our noses (learned that from CSI), we explored the "pasar".
This lady is selling (L-R) corn on the cob, fresh turmeric, garlic, galangal and below the turmeric, two types of sweet potatoes.

No idea what kinds of fish these are

 Chicken is a very common source of meat and one of the cheaper options here.
 This might be beef, but it could be pork too.
 Selling several varieties of eggs
 I see cabbage, carrots, long beans, cucumber, cauliflower, asian cabbages, tomatoes and baby corns.  Did I miss something?
 Many varieties of dried fish.  Very commonly used here.
 Calamari anyone?
 I believe this is duck.
 Chinese buns - they sell these everywhere.
 I see jicama, taro root, pomelo, spinach, ginger, carrots, green bell peppers, tomatoes, cabbages, and radish root. 
 Bagging live crabs!  How fun!
 Snake, among other things - ginger in the foreground.
 Beef legs, wanna cook some soup?
 Frog legs
 Wild boar - very tasty when cooked, but I don't get it with the skin on - not so appetizing.
It's a wild place, every day!
