This woman is cooking an assortment of fish innards...mostly their stomachs and eggs, wrapped up in banana leaves over the fire. To the left of her is a big pot used for cooking broth for noodle soup. Eating is a communal activity here, so they always cook enough for the whole neighborhood.
These guys are making "goi baa" which is raw fish cut up and mixed with lemon to kill anything weird and make it edible. It is then served with mint and scooped up with sticky rice. This is a typical Lao cooking space although this family has a kitchen inside as well mostly used for storing dishes and bags of rice. The cooking fire is to the right, and you can see a big bucket used for washing behind the old guy's yellow hat.
This lovely dish is fresh duck's blood. They pour it onto the plate and then wait several minutes for it to congeal. Then fresh mint is added with some pepper and chives. Not bad!
