Then you'll never want to throw out all the best bits ever ever again. 'Too good. (let alone learning that meat is precious and you just dan't throw the tastiest and most nutritious bits out with the garbage)
If you are lucky or remote enough to get a reeeeal village chicken - always expensive, always the scrawniest and toughest - you get to remember what chicken really tastes like - like it did when we were kids.
Fab flavour - 'try it some time.
Some people say this kind of attitude is primitive - i'm not so sure.
Maybe i'll ask a Michelin chef what he thinks...
our village chickens, which the family love
come from the back yard, meat is uneatable gristle an bone
no thanks.

Flavour, Richard, flavour

remember your tribal roots
....tearing thru flesh and sinew, chomping down on your enemy's bones
I've always said that without that bloody KFC at Bagram we would have eaten the Taliban for breakfast.

Indonesians are the same, love the bones more than the meat, including fish.
Burger King is ok, once every few weeks, same as Carl's Jnr. Plenty of 'gourmet' burger joints for the snobs..The Vine, Cousins', etc.
Chicken. Avoid KFC, way too dry, worst in the region. The new place, Texas, is crap too.
Pizza Company/Hut, ok for those who don't know pizza, (locals). Plenty of pizza joints for us.
Happy eating.

Yes and even lucky enough to have it prepared by a 10 year old boy and his 6 year old sister, right from catching, killing, plucking, lighting the fire and cooking it , all while you're sitting around drinking warm beer with the smell of the pigs living under the house.SternAAlbifrons wrote: ↑Fri Aug 20, 2021 2:53 pm If you are lucky or remote enough to get a reeeeal village chicken - always expensive, always the scrawniest and toughest - you get to remember what chicken really tastes like - like it did when we were kids.

A Cambodian experience , privileged to have and remember. Most probably be like that again when I get back in a couple months although the kids a bit older now.
I'm standing up, so I must be straight.

Re: Posters who are just here to shit on Cambodia.
You are joking, right? When I lived in SR, I was not tempted once to set foot in there (I just remembered I went once because some friends wanted to eat there; but I did not eat). Plenty of better places for a burger.pissontheroof wrote: ↑Fri Aug 20, 2021 2:14 pm If not for Burger King siem reap would be a real shithole !
As it is now tho i can’t eat in because i don’t have a chinese vaccination against the chinese flu .
It’s not as good eating it at home , but it’s the only thing my little one will eat ..

For any other antivax recalcitrants: how do you think you will go when your visa EOS is due for renewal?

Re: Posters who are just here to shit on Cambodia.
Same with missus. She takes out all the meat - chicken, crab, fish, etc., putting it on my plate, while she munches away on the bones.clutchcargo wrote:Mrs Cargo doesn't seem to mind getting her hands dirty and messing around with bones, shells whatever if the result is it tastes good (watch her devour a crab!). I let her do all that coz I couldn't be bothered if it's a fiddly, laborious affair.
Plus she always craves soups as well.
Bless her heart!

Re: Posters who are just here to shit on Cambodia.
I remember getting a chicken & bones sandwich at Otres on my 1st visit, thought it must be a local delicacy
A chicken leg chopped up with a cleaver & put in a breadbun
Reminded me of the gristle burgers & pizza's with grated carrot I got in Sri Lanka, a local (unpleasant) version of western fastfood
