about
Sticky rice, fresh vegetables, mountains of fresh herbs, fish and meat,
fish sauce, chilli, spices, fruit and more sticky rice ... one of the
wonderful features of the Lao diet is the almost complete absence of
processed foods. Ironically, it’s the poor economic status of this
small, landlocked South-East Asian country that has kept its cuisine
fresh, vibrant and healthy for hundreds of years.
The Lao
People’s Democratic Republic is one of the world’s few remaining
communist states, moving tentatively towards capitalism but otherwise
seemingly frozen in time. Bordering China, Cambodia, Burma, Thailand and
Vietnam, Laos is mountainous and covered by largely virgin tropical
forest, with most of the population of 6.5 million living in valleys of
the Mekong River and its tributaries. The vast majority of Laotians live
off the less than 5 per cent of land suitable for subsistence farming.
