I had never heard of this before, thanks for sharing. Cambodians have a lot of special dishes associated with certain holidays and occasions, very similar. Funny that bami is a cassava patty to Jamaicans and it is noodles to Surinamers. "Mii" is noodles is Cambodian, a similar pronunciation.
Another funny thing @fruityfruitz might like, in Cambodian "nyam" means to eat, so that would be the first word Jamaicans already know in Cambodian.
Was my pleasure and enjoyed writing this post 😁.
Yeah, so you see a lot of similarities and yes some differences. I learned that the Philippines also have a kind of similar tradition: that after a loved one has died and the family will also come together after a distinct period. The difference is the time frame after which they come together.
