As I rode the bus from Phnom Penh to Kampong Cham, I saw funny plastic tent like arrangements. But they weren't really tents. The wide part was at the top and the plastic was turned up looking like it was to catch something, possibly water. When it rains water would collect in them.
The other night returning from a wedding after dark, I saw that these tents had a light on the top and realized that they were for catching crickets.
Crickets? Yes, Cambodians in the Kampong Cham province catch crickets and eat them.
They pull the wings off of the bugs and then fry them. This is a delicacy that I have not tried and do not plan to.
