Re: Gordon Ramsey- Cambodia
I don't think they were only passed down orally; look at any pre-KR videos and you will see a vibrant country full of a wide range of industries, and most crucially, books must have been there to support such advancement - it wasn't a country of farmers/peasants. There must be Khmer recipe books that survived the KR, either domestically, or via refugees to support also any generations passing home recipes orally.Artisan wrote: ↑Thu Oct 20, 2022 2:49 pm Allow me to be cynical...
It is fair to assume that (before the atrocities) Khmer recipes were passed down orally.
As you put it poignantly, they did kinda die.
My question for the more seasoned expats around here, did the usage of herbs changed during/after the KR?

Re: Gordon Ramsey- Cambodia
I wouldn't agree. There were some gains made after independence and some industry was set up but the country still remained for the greater part an agrarian society. Gains were also made in education but literacy still remained low. The average homemaker wouldn't have been able to read and books have never been much of a thing here.Spigzy wrote: ↑Thu Oct 20, 2022 7:12 pm I don't think they were only passed down orally; look at any pre-KR videos and you will see a vibrant country full of a wide range of industries, and most crucially, books must have been there to support such advancement - it wasn't a country of farmers/peasants.

Whilst the setup is honourable, as they are teaching new skills to locals and keeping Khmer dishes alive (didn’t know they died?), I wish they’d stop trotting out the same old “Children of the Khmer Rouge” line.
Ramsey says “the children are the legacy of over 15 years of Khmer Rouge rule and civil war”. Bollocks.
Some of the kids grandparents lived though it but certainly not their parents.
He got “a lump in his throat” after seeing little kids coming for food. Sent by their parents no doubt.
Or am too cynical and out of touch?
and tarantulas
he also goes out into the boonies
it wasnt a bad episode in fairness

Re: Gordon Ramsey- Cambodia
I do wish he’d do one of his dramatic, abusive restaurant rescue episodes in Phnom Penh. Maybe one of those places popular with drunk shouty shooty cop/military types, and lots of machetes. Could be fun.
Re: Gordon Ramsey- Cambodia
I know the shriveled ball sac isn’t like that in real life because I met him in a lift in London. Lovely guy.
Also, I know two people who work with him and they love him. Says he’s so kind and generous and a great bloke. Top bloke even.
His son on the other hand is a bit of a dick but he’s young so we will let him off.

He has no idea how whatsoever how to cook Asian food, according to Uncle Roger.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never allow the dumb ones to lead the pack.

Re: Gordon Ramsey- Cambodia
It's good entertainment. It would have been great if Uncle Roger also waved a gun, during his review, maybe food for thought?
