Traditional Cuisine - Issan Style

While in Ubon, a PIONEERS team member took me to meet her friends in a little village. We sat outside on bamboo mats high off the ground and enjoyed a lovely traditional lunch of black sticky rice and fresh greens. For a special treat our host also prepared a dessert for us. It was really very tasty, especially the bowl that looks like cold split pea soup. It was sort of an egg and palm sugar, steamed sweet custard? ...and yes...those are flies landing in and on everything.
