RE: 🍚 An Improvised Kitchen & 📻 Other News From Steung Kach 🏞️

!LOL It sounds so familiar. @rarej lets me open up the shutters and makes me drink some water. At my mom's I stayed in my bedroom whenever that happened.

I don't know if you guys have ever used shrimp paste - we call it trassie here - but I just thought about it when I read your experience. In Suriname it's not that much of an issue because we have enough space, but an aunt in the Netherlands cooked with it in her apartment and the whole building smelled like dead fish she told us 🤣.

I am familiar with that smell for sure, here in Cambodia the salty stink comes from prahok, basically fish paste on steroids. It's fermented for several weeks/months before use to give it that extra oomph! I've been vegan for nearly 20 years, so I never tried prahok, but back in the USA I used shrimp paste quite a lot in my teenage years while learning how to cook Thai food.

Hahaha, I'm imagining the smell of that prahok and I'm really amazed how something so smelly could bring so much flavor to food. The same with fish oil.

Without geometry...
Life is pointless.
