I have a suspicion that the reason "Hungry Hungry Subsistence Farmers" title doesn't sound quite right is that subsistence farmers are usually so damned polite when it comes to sharing food: there'd be no contest except to see if you could get the other guys to eat the last bit! Maybe you should call it "Hungry Hungry Middlemen." Another fantastic review – I almost feel like I’m there again, and the review reads very accurately on the Surin!

I read it religiously. A pity to hear your views on Khmer Traditional Music but "one man's steak is another man's mutton" as the saying goes. You should have a listen to some of the stuff coming from CLA's Masters. I'd encourage you to go and listen to Kung Nai (chapei) in Phnom Penh, check out Yoeun Mek (traditional wedding music) in Battambang or Prum Uth (smot) in Kampong Speu. I admit that some of the "traditional" music you hear in restaurants and hotels can be second rate but hearing the CLA Masters and their students has changed my perspective. While you may not have met any Khmers with a "pure love of traditional music" I can assure you there are plenty out there. Mongkol (who is one of Cambodia's most eloquent bloggers) would be one who I am sure would speak eloquently about his "pure love"! In my time at CLA I've seen the impact that Khmer Traditional Music has on Cambodians. Many of these are young students who are desparate to keep their tradition alive. I'd have a look at CLA's website (http://www.cambodianlivingarts.org/ ) to learn more. Cheers. Love the blog, one of the best Cambodia/Food things. I read it religiously.
