Sources
- Martin (1975), Ethnobotanical Aspects of Cannabis in Southeast Asia, in Rubin (ed.), Cannabis and Culture, pp. 63–76: p. 73: "Kɛ:ng phe:t from Thailand with ground-up kancha: flowers added", in the paragraph on hemp soups.
- Royal Institute Dictionary (B.E. 2554), entry แกงเผ็ด, for what the dish is.
Is it cannabis?
- Martin names the plant as kancha:, her Thai form of the cannabis name, and the part as the flowers, ground. No test is reported.
Title and spelling
- The title is the RTGS form of แกงเผ็ด. Martin prints Kɛ:ng phe:t; Keng phet (her form without the phonetic letters) and the Thai script are redirects.
Infobox
- first_recorded is 1975, the year of publication; still_made is Not known: no cited source after 1975 describes kaeng phet made with cannabis.
- The photograph shows kaeng phet with pork in Chiang Mai in 2010 (the place is from the file's coordinates). It does not show cannabis, and the caption says so.
Not used
- Thai restaurant menus with cannabis dishes from the 2020s are not on this page; they describe new dishes, not the one Martin describes.
