[@koolpebble]

Guys, prahok is not a delicacy! It's a widely used ingredient in Khmer savory dishes. It's a salting agent that gives food an umami flavor, without making the dishes taste so one dimensional. Not meant to be eaten raw or straight. Although there are some who do use it raw (but it's never eaten just by itself because it's, after all, an ingredient). But I have to admit that I've never seen a maggot-infested prahok before. That's something I would never eat and is one reason why prahok should always be cooked.

I’m Cambodian and even I have my limits too when it comes to Prahok or anything else like it. Since we’re in the states, we prepare our Prahok in a safer manner where you won’t end up in the ER trying it for the first time. Ours tastes clean and even the odor isn’t as bad or strong. It’s all in how you store the fish, process and prepare it. And no, ours isn’t covered in “maggots”. In fact when I ate this in Cambodia, never did I once find maggots in my Prahok. So this is more of a specific Prahok that caters to a specific group of Khmers who are into that kind of thing. But even my folks deep in rural Cambodia won’t eat Prahok with maggots in it.

Prahok, Is use mostly as a flavor enhancer, not as the soul main ingredient of any food for many Khmer dishes. You just need a bit of it to go along way due to its strong smell and salty. It’s like fish sauce, but different type of umami smell and taste. Prahok dipping sauce after you mixed it with a bunch of herbs and spices, it go so well with grill steak.

[@reginafromrio]

I could do that as a flavor enhancer. I don't think as a main ingredient.

Like ปลาร้า (Pra-ra) in Northeast Thailand? It's not a main ingredient but usually use as a salty sauce kinda thing. I don't know much about Prahok grade. But in case of ปลาร้า I think nowadays it got produced much cleaner overall. Maggoted one is kinda old-fashion and unsanitary.

[@Submersed24]

Honestly at that point don’t take a shower in days, get all sweaty, then take a bath and boil the bath water down to a concentrate. Call that a flavor enhancer too. A little bit goes a long way

So they're komodo of snakes

[@johnnylego807]

@@rizqizen4528 Similar in a way , yes. But not the same strength of bacteria. For some reason Komodo’s have a specially formulated venom/ and even more dangerous/resistant/and infectious bacteria due to the “animal carcasses ” they consume. Water snakes and many reptiles do have mouths that have bad bacteria that can make us sick. So precaution must still be taken with smaller “non-venomous” species.

Tea tree oil is a good first aid then yes, it is always good to see a doctor after. Because you may need antibiotics or tetanus injection.

Great episode. You are really giving us something unusual and marvelous. There are so many different and diverse flavors there. I have to admit, I would be a bit hesitant when it comes to raw prahok, but seeing you bravely jump into that barrel gave me the strength to maybe try it someday. Well done 👍

Your doctor deserves a raise

A rainy season revisit ep would be awesome! Maybe not for the cuisine but for the story 💪

No way I'm eating raw anything, maggots or snakes. After watching the show "monsters in me".

[@sokpek]

Back in the 90's, when it was hard to find a good asian market, my parents made it at home with catfish caught from the Deleware River in south philadelphia or sunfish from the lakes. It's not that bad. It's like good cheese the stronger the smell the greater the umami. Nowadays we just buy it jarred from the Asian Markets.

I noticed that too 😂

[@TheMrrabbit1968]

@@HhannahBarryy That old girl, she's quietly laughing with her contemporaries who survived the KR, that she got a bawling loud, entitled Barang, to eat the one batch of Prahok she made that season which went bad & got flyblown! We DON'T have maggots in our Prahok, fool just pranked himself while the old school looked on, laughed & said to each other "Remember 'oun, they loose war long year before- Veet'nahm. Still clazy, still dumb, still think mah'nee fix all thing!!" That is not how we live or eat in Kampuchea!
