As you might expect, rice is a key part of the Lao diet.
Their preference is sticky rice. It is much stickier than properly prepared
steamed rice. The Lao use it as an eating utensil. A small portion is formed into
a ball and the thumb is used to pinch the target food against the rice ball. It
is then popped into one's mouth.
Fish is a major protein. Since
Luang Prabang is far from an ocean, fresh water fish is what one finds in
the market.
There is an array of catfish in
various sizes., large or small, whole or butchered.
There is always
someone ready to cut your selection to order.
Rice and eggs.
This is a big deal, as the search for the lost expedition of 1990, His last visit inside Laos – where the evidence places the bulk of the
unaccounted-for servicemen — was in 1991. During that stay, his sources
put him in contact with Laotians who said they personally had seen 11
American in their home village in the remote northern part of the
country. They said the sighting was recent.,greatly
exercised the imagination of Laotian and beyond. The original
search was looking for survivors, but did end up doing a very thorough job
of charting the local area. This in turn is the basis for Lao's as claim to
what we call our northernmost territory today. Anyway, I will be watching this
for whatever info comes from this discovery. It's not every day that I'm
actually excited about something in the typical morning market, but you can’t
mark this one off.

Studdert persuaded one of these Laotians to return to the village with a camera. Weeks later, the man emerged; he still had the camera but he said the film had been seized by government troops. He said the POWs were still there.
