Much of Laos’ culinary culture seems to take place outside. Everywhere you go things are being boiled, stewed and sizzled in outdoor stalls. A crepe maestro would be deftly rolling out the thinnest dough creation in the world over a giant pan (France’s colonization of Laos has brought baguettes and European-style pastries into popular usage). Eating is also communal; in the street, you can see people sitting around a meal served at the ka toke, the traditional low circular platform made of rattan where all the courses are brought out and eaten together.
