Umbok... Dry-pounded rice. A common fixture in Cambodian markets throughout much of the year...but you'll need to get out into the countryside if you want to see how it's made. A tourist told me it reminded her of 'fufu' in Togo--something to which I concurred, having eaten it there countless times as a Peace Corps Volunteer. 'Fufu'--either pounded cassava or yam. With a 'sauce de gombo', a delightful dish, indeed! But that's getting off the subject... Nothing wrong with reminiscing!!
