Sources
- Martin (1975), Ethnobotanical Aspects of Cannabis in Southeast Asia, in Rubin (ed.), Cannabis and Culture, pp. 63–76: p. 73, one sentence: the roasted leaves "are also added to other soups, sâmlâ kâko:".
- SEAlang Library Khmer Dictionary, entry សំឡកកូរ (sɑmlɑɑ kɑkoo, saṃḷa kakūr): "kind of spicy Cambodian vegetable soup". The Khmer script and the transliteration in the infobox come from this entry.
Is it cannabis?
- Martin names the plant as kânhcha: and the part as the roasted leaves. No test is reported.
Title and spelling
- The title is Martin's sâmlâ kâko: without diacritics; Sâmlâ kâko and the Khmer script are redirects. The spelling samlor korko, common in English and on Commons, is used by no source cited here, so it is not a redirect.
Infobox
- first_recorded is 1975, the year of publication; still_made is Not known.
- The photograph is a vegetarian version made with coconut milk, at a Siem Reap restaurant in 2020. It does not show cannabis, and the caption says so.
