In July 2019 while at a friend’s farm in Banteay Meanchey Province Cambodia I was introduced to a Jamaican Cherry (Plai Cher Krahop)- a small pinkish-red berry without a pip growing on a tree and sweet in taste. Upon my return to Samrong that same week, I found myself noticing the tree everywhere- and had to curb to urge my need to stop on the roadside and pick a few to snack on. On that same trip an eight year old girl living next door to the AgriTech Centre introduced me to “saw maw” or wild passion fruit. Small orange gooseberry-like fruit, growing on a vine curling around most trees and structures in the Centre. These added to my curiosity about delving more into Khmer foods and ingredients and diversifying from the usual produce of aubergine, cucumbers and I beans. I kept facing roadblocks- research either lost due to civil war or only available in French.
