10453.18 Bat collector
A farmer from a village close to Angkor Wat supplements his family's diet by collecting bats from inside the temple's famous towers. Bats have inhabited the hollow towers for hundreds of years, but their population increased after the recent years of war, neglect and civil war. The collector uses a hooked rod set in a bamboo handle to pull the sleeping animals out from the crevices, then throws them down to his waiting nephew. His preferred way of cooking these small bats is to coat them in rice flour and deep-fry them. RECIPE AVAILABLE
