Food and Eating

   The way Cambodians eat food really depends on the type of food and the family tradition. Many Cambodians use their fingers, spoons, forks, and chopsticks. In rural areas, food is served on a platter in the middle of a mat. The whole family sits around this mat to eat their meal. Rice is eaten in little balls, held in the right hand. Many restaurants in Cambodia provide rice for free. Meats and other foods are cut up into small pieces to make it easier to eat. Cambodian cuisine is influenced by cooking from Europe, India, and China. Cambodians tend to eat a lot more fish and gravy.
    Cambodians enjoy a wide variety of dishes. Their two main foods are soup and rice. Rice is known as Cambodia's staple food and is eaten with every meal. Along with soups, seafood, and rice, Cambodians also eat a variety of fruits and vegetables.
    Some famous and traditional Cambodian dishes consist of Fish Amok (steamed coconut fish wrapped in banana leaves) , Cambodian Summer Rolls,  Twa Ko (Cambodian sausage) and Nom banh chok (Khmer noodles)
