A Village Meal

Below is some of the delicious food we got to eat every day in the village.  Of course, there is always rice. And fish.  Those little fish you were always told didn't have enough meat and were all bone?  Yes, those are the ones we eat.  Plus some chopped/fried tempe (fermented bean), and some leaves.

One set of leaves was pretty good.  Purple Sweet Potato Leaves.  We eat them all the time here.  But the other leaves were from a papaya or guava tree... they were SO incredible bitter.  I could even taste the juice (just a couple drops) in my rice.
