What's on the stove tonight?

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.

Really cool channel, I follow them 2 years already. Village serenity (not a guy talking 20 minutes and thinking its about him) Hard working village people, animals living in harmony, great picture.
When do they do Coq au Vin and a blackbird pie?
Write them, they might listen to you. :)

Got a pot of Jasmine rice on the stove now, spiked with chicken broth, garlic, shallot, red bell pepper, banana pepper, a ramen chicken soup MSG packet and Kampot ground pepper. Smellin' pretty good. Prolly do a squid fried rice later.

"Lamb rendang pie", but pie crust is more akin to samosa crust to be quite frank

I felt tempted to say japanese school girl uniforms, sliced and smoked.
But i don't want to be a troll, therefore i retract the above.

First time i took a food picture, i think, because i want to explain to a friend back home what a 2dollarfifty menu looks like.
It's probably more or less the same all throughout South America except in Peru where they have a latin/asian fusion cuisine.
Possibly other places where i haven't been. Chile, Surinam etc. Pretty sure though it's similar in Venezuela.


Homemade juice
Big serving of red beans, or soup
The plate itself almost always invariably the same: meat of choice, rice, salad and a big slice of grilled platano, banana's big brother.
I only cook when i feel it's time again for some healthy vegetables
Image

Even though the latin cuisine is in general pretty bland, the best steaks i'm eating are here in Colombia, not in Argentina or Uruguay!
And if you wanna pay more than say 30 dollars for a fantastic steak, you probably have to eat it in the restaurant of a 5 star hotel.
The meat looks like you could eat it or resole your shoes or flip-flops with it?
Yeah, and looks aren't deceiving in this case. You have always the less leathery options of pork or chicken. But that's what you get for 2 fifty , (€ actually, or 3 Us$).
Bandeja paisa is not for me, mostly because i can't stand the fried pig skin, (chicharron), nor the sausages they put on it.

Crickets, from Cambodia.
Fried and served with rice and fried fish.

Missus has been craving them for a while.

After the crickets, she ran to the toilet to vomit.
And went to bed shortly after. Still sleeping now.

Must use fresh crickets next time.
Who knows how long those crickets have been kept?

Crickets can easily be raised in Texas. They'd probably be the biggest, juiciest goddamn crickets in the world. These foods need to be fresh.

There’s tons in the yard. Meow the cat loves hunting them. Cries day and night to go out to hunt.

Maybe backyard cricket might be the next project.

They have to be the right species. And apparently it's best to not eat wild caught ones immediately. They may have been feeding on toxic vegetation. You need to starve them and then feed them something tasty to get good results.
