Re: Expat misses Cambodia after repatriating to home country.
I am living in Australia with the Khmer family. I used to criticise Khmer food but the missus can cook lovely soups, chicken, pork, fish and beef dishes. In rural Cambodia they ate rats and snails. The kids are thriving on good meat, fish and vegetables plus tropical fruit and berries. No fast food for them, well occasionally.
I cook Thai and Chinese food, tonight another Chinese roast duck in the Weber. Chinese roast duck is the best.

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

Please tell us how long you think it takes for someone to study and become a skilled or professional cook. Yea, I know you said that you only read that, but try telling the rest of the world that even a 10 year old can cook a decent meal if they want to learn how too.

Well let me see what my 9 year 10 month old girl cooked for my dinner all by her self.
She's a little genius from heaven.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

I feel mean but this is exactly my thoughts. I don't mind rice porridge but I prefer chicken or seafood to the version with intestines, liver and congealed blood, thanks.

And here's her 7 year old little sister cooking sliced up hotdogs.
Note.. I don't let them turn the gas on or off.

Re: Expat misses Cambodia after repatriating to home country.
I've always found sufficiently good food options here without complaint. I don't take the mystery meat in the big pots and stuff, and a few times I have transplanted a few interesting looking bits to 'her' bowl, but overall I can find good food almost everywhere. I also can keep it simple. Plain rice is available everywhere and so is some barbecue chicken or pork. Bor Bor is always good. When I can, I buy a whole rotisserie chicken, lasts me for a few days.
Recently in Rattanakiri, I went for days being the only westerner in sight. Even there, I found good food at the market and elsewhere. Maybe its just me, but I didn't mind and have no complaints.

Also, at the market, I found a nice coffee vendor, and I could sit there while 'she' went off to get her hair and nails done or whatever girls like to do in markets. There was the cutest baby boy across from that stall, the mother selling vegetables, so I would take him off her hands and give her a break while I rocked him on my knee. Everyone looks and smiles, and me, being a grampa, it did me some good, even though he had a wet nappie both times and should have been changed, I didn't care, and he liked to play with my beard and liked the extra attention.RickyBobby wrote: ↑Mon Feb 04, 2019 6:54 am I've always found sufficiently good food options here without complaint.

The kids, some of them when they are a bit older are spooked by us white guys, so you never know.
