Lap mu is a favorite dish for all occasions. The main ingredients are minced fresh meat (pork with blood and boiled organs which are thinly sliced) mixed with chili paste for lap (roasted dried chilies and several kinds of spices pulverized to a powder or paste). Lap is usually eaten fresh or cooked by stir frying it in a little oil. (Pratan Nanchaisin, personal communication, July 3, 2007; Rattana Phromphichai, 1999, pp. 5937-5944) |
