Coffee and rice

Last week we went to visit an ethnic minority group in a province near Vietnam. They grow coffee in the area so they drink it too!

There were so many people in the house we ate each meal with about 20 or more people. They needed six mats to fit us all!
Below is a photo of breakfast.

On the left is some dried fish, at the front is a preserved radish like veggie (its called white carrot in Chinese cos that's what it look like when it's fresh). The white stuff is rice porridge. You might also be able to see a bowl of rice, and a bowl of kimchi. The kimchi isn't local to that area- we brought it with us (KS made it at home, he learnt from a Korean friend).
Not really my favourite breakfast! I've gotton used to eating pork, pickled veggies and rice.

This meal must have been a lunch or dinner.
