lcuy, I didn't realize "tomato sauce" is actually ketchup!

I thought they put marmite on everything,lol

Aloha!

about eggs, I'm no expert, but I do know about buying groceries in Siem Reap. You can buy farm raised chicken eggs in the grocery store that are very similar to the crap we get in the US- watery whites with weak yolks; these eggs are the same price as free range duck eggs in the local market which are fantastic. There are also free range chicken eggs in the market and they are stupidly expensive and the collective opinion is that they are no where near as delicious as duck eggs. Day to day eggs in most restaurants and homes are duck eggs, absolutely. No one says anything about this because westerners sometimes freak out about it. Not sure why. In our café every day people rave about the eggs and we have learned to just keep a tight lip about it :)

BTW my observation is that "free range chickens" in Cambodia are mostly pecking around in the garbage all day, not sure what color that makes their yolks :)

SF it was nice to meet you and Mr SF on that unusually rainy day. Thanks for coming by to say hi!

Thanks for the info, Lori.

Lori, it was a pleasure. Your tuk-tuk guy was great - needless to say he was soaked by the time we got to town, but he was heartily laughing. We had to roll up our pants legs to get across the street!
