What makes bacon taste so good?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Have you also dated a Khmer woman? Besides the obvious religion, what were the differences. I have found the Cham people to be interesting. I want to know more about them.

Vegan?

To be fair though, I hate supermarket bacon and especially the oversalted U.S. stuff. However, a proper sweeter, milder and freshly smoked bunch of bacon strips, that's another matter. It's like Budwiser compared to craft beer.

Bacon and cheese - the only two foods that improve almost anything by being paired with it. I've even had a bacon and cheese ice cream... yum.

Depends on what you call cheese. A good, raw milk, aged cheese: yes. Cheese out of a squeeze bottle: :bad:

No, I'm clear that if cheese is made in America; it's not cheese. ;-)

From the moment she touched and cooked bacon, she is no longer a Muslim anymore i guess. It is such a big deal. I have a good friend who is Cham. He said, Cham woman has to get married with Cham person, but if she gets married with outsider that person must follow their belief and lifestyle. I am not sure if they still have to perform actual circumcision for non-cham who get married with Cham girl.
