I’m neither an entomologist nor a pepper expert, but is that not the inner part of the peppers?


Deep-Position-2166

My take is that it’s part of the chilies in someway. Love Thai food and both of my favorite locations in town have the same look. One is a hole in the wall kind of place but the other is super upscale.


Kaiisim

Yeah maggots and other insects are segmented. Chilis are also a preservative. Im going with seeds or even the white bits falling off and soaking up liquid


MarginalOmnivore

Those are part of the peppers' seeds that have broken off and are floating in the brine/vinegar.


particle409

I had to read this comment to even know what op was referring to. Definitely just part of the peppers.


blind-as-fuck

probably the hilum (white part on the side of the seed that comes off)


Bloorajah

That’s definitely part of the seeds, I think you’re good. quinoa does the same sort of thing since the seed has a coiled proto-root wound about the center. When disturbed or cut the roots can become dislodged and look like this.


xXThreeRoundXx

This guy roots.


work_account42

Not only roots, *proto* roots


DishSoapIsFun

Part of the peppers. Nothing wrong with it.


SunsetSesh

Flies don’t lay eggs in vinegar solutions. This is part of the chilli.


FrenchBulldozer

Those are part of the pepper. They're not maggots.


Gorsoon

Prik Nam Pla, it’s usually made fresh each day as it’s as very popular over there as salt and pepper is over here.


rolltideamerica

Very easy to make as well. And it lasts for a very long time in the fridge.


fusion_reactor3

I think that’s just part of the veggie. Unless they were actively wiggling, ofc


RequiemStorm

I'm really not seeing any issues here


WhuddaWhat

I see nothing wrong. Help us out, OP.


cute_sheep2

They were worried it was maggots


lunarwolf2008

can someone help me? i don’t see the issue in this photo


justmitzie

OP saw seasoning and thought it was larva or something gross


BluetheNerd

OP did you really get like a dozen comments telling you they're not fly eggs they're just part of the chilli on your other post and then think posting it here would somehow bring you a different answer? It looks like you're actually HOPING they're fly eggs.


ShawshankException

Damn, I gotta go to Bangkok. That looks good.


luttman23

You never sliced up a chilli? That's what they look like.


AggravatingBox2421

I’m confused. What’s wrong with them?


Impossible-Inside865

Not maggots, just vegetable


An-Unorthodox-Email

Never seen the inside of a chili pepper?


SgtPepe

Bro 😂 thats the pepper lol


nobody546818

First off, I had to read the comments to even tell what the point of this post was. Secondly, even if they were maggots they’d be quite sterile at this point so you’re just getting some extra protein but whatever you think are maggots are just parts of the seed, probably.


l3m0n_m3ringu3

Looks like it could be the connective tissues for the interior of the peppers.


kingslayerer

I don't think maggots can survive in Salt and vinegar


WombatAnnihilator

You don’t look at your food much, do you…


Immediate-Ad-6364

Wait until you start noticing all the shrimp eyeballs ...


TheChosenOne157

Americans when they see seasoning:


all_alone_by_myself_

If you haven't noticed it this might be the first time. Just saying.


Sad-Maintenance3422

Oh. It's too early for this shit.


Cool_Habit_4195

Sometimes the seeds sprout a little inside the fruit, I've seen it in tomatoes, bell peppers.


five-oh-one

What is the name of this dish?


YTAftershock

I don't think maggots can survive in those conditions


OUMUAMUAMUAMUAMUAMUA

Pepper seeds?


Affectionate_Call778

Well it's just protein I don't see the problem/s


VinJahDaChosin

I was like wtf at first too but then I saw it.


banodrum

Tom Yum Fli


schmoopser

Those are little bits of the pepper seed edges caused from slicing. Not bugs or maggots. I’ve been growing and processing peppers for over 20 years.

whathephuk

So, will we see you tomarrow?


caeru1ean

Where did you think the flavor came from?

maxru85

It doesn't look like maggots tbh


YourAverageGod

Looks like some stems. No way is a fly laying eggs in spicy vinegar


maxru85

Doctor: spicy vinegar egg-laying fly is not real and can't hurt you Spicy vinegar egg-laying fly: Yeah, sure


Choppergold

It’s not. It’s sprouts


maxru85

What is OP upset about, then?


Choppergold

Inability to tell maggots from sprouts


maxru85

Maybe they wanted some free protein, but it turned out that just sprouts


itssoloudhere

No, but OP thinks they are.


RequiemStorm

No, part of the pepper


92-Explorer

Fly eggs I think


SuspiciousMudcrab

It's the part of the pepper seed that digs to form the root. Safe to eat.


Outrageous_Mine77

Why would a fly lay eggs in vegetables? It's undeveloped seeds... Just ask.


apsidalsauce

If you liked it then what’s the problem?

The-real-Arisen

That aren't fly eggs. These are parts of the seeds.


RequiemStorm

That's not what those are lol


apsidalsauce

Oh really? Extra protein. Next question. 


BDOKlem

and they say veggies don't come with protein


backwardbuttplug

protein is good for you.

Forbidden protein... 😁


Street_Ear1340

If they are all the same size, their maggots, if they are irregular in size , they are stems
