12 Cambodian foods for Christmas

12 - spit-grilled bananas - or frogs whatever you fancy! I went for bananas,4-6 on a stick.

11-  cans of condensed milk - only good in iced coffee. I heard it described as "liquid crack".

10 - cans of Angkor beer -or Cheers - whatever you fancy as there is no other choice here

9 - foetus eggs - yes, you read that right, hatching out of the shell and onto your spoon as you eat, yum yum!

8 -  kilos of rice - enough to feed 2 people per week. Dave and I haven't managed that in 8 weeks.

7 - Deer - I think that is all that is left here in this town -have the rest been eaten?

6 - o'clock  in the evening- its dark and most people have eaten by now.

5 - my favourite fruits so far-mangosteen, rambutan, mango, longan and you are never more than 10m from a banana here.

4- the only places in town which serve "western food" in one way or another.

3 - SUPER markets in town - but not as we know them but one does have a chiller cabinet.

2 - hobs only on my gas cooker - boil rice and stir fry your veg.

1 - KFC in town!! Well, it serves sticky rice and fried chicken and its sooooooooooo good! And all for £1.
