Pork Toasts with Cannabis Leaves

Story

“Cannabis Pork Toast” is a Thai-style snack menu that everyone loves with a simple cooking process. Prepare the ingredients; minced pork with garlic, pepper, salt or fish sauce, coriander root, egg, spread on bread and fry until cooked. It is crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, usually served hot and eaten with ajad. The secret to the deliciousness of this menu is that the bread must be crispy without oil. The bread must be cut into bite-sized pieces and then dried in the sun until crumbly so that when frying, it does not get oily. The pork doesn’t have to be fatty. Use only red meat because it will be fried in oil so you can eat it without being too greasy.

This menu has been passed on continuously from the past to the present. It can be served to both Thais and foreigners. The origin is unknown, but pork toasts are a popular snack in Songkhla. If you walk around the malls and markets, you will encounter crowds of customers lining up the stores, such as the Fresh Market Plaza in Hat Yai in which there are shops selling pork toasts all over the place. Nowadays, the menu is gradually fading from the scene over time.
