干した魚↑(2006年11月23日、カムアン県、ラオス)
ラオスの道端で、乾燥魚や乾燥肉をよく見かけます。たいてい、丸い輪に肉や魚が刺し通されて店先にぶら下がっています。
冷蔵施設がなくても保存できますので、便利です。
乾燥した水牛の皮や豚の皮も料理で大活躍します。(続く)
【Bon appétit !】
The consumption of salted/dried fish in Laos is significant and comes immediately after fresh fish. People in Laos have their own way of fish drying in which a fish is split half by her back, inner organs are removed and body flattened. It is then dried on the open air for a period of time. It is quite common to see dried fish for sale in Laos whether in local markets or by the road side. In general the dried freshwater fish are popular in Laos.
