Galloping Horses(Ma Ho) image

"Ma Ho, is a popular Thai hors d'oeuvre, a spicy meat mixture usually served in tangerine segments. We made it into easier finger food by filling endive leaves." I haven't tried these but my friend Georgina made them and they all seemed to enjoy them. She found it on atasteofthai.com.
