Cambodians have a reputation for eating almost everything that grows, walks, flies, or swims in their country. And because this is such a fertile and well-watered land, that means a lot of different things pass a Cambodian’s lips (often accompanied by the national staple, white rice). We got a feel for that culinary diversity during several visits to traditional markets around Siem Reap—some on our own and some as part of organized tours focusing on village life (such as those run by Beyond Unique Escapes and Bees Unlimited). The markets in this gallery are the sort where the vast majority of Cambodians, rural or urban, buy their food each day.
