Cui shao

Cui shao (Chinese: 脆哨; pinyin: Cuì shào) is a type of crackling from Guiyang, Guizhou province, China consisting of pork from which most of the fat has been rendered.

It is a unique and flavorful snack that embodies the culinary culture of the region.

As you take a bite, the outer layer crackles and creates a crispy texture, giving the snack its distinctive name.

Some people believe that this name is a mispronunciation caused by the inability of Guiyang accent speakers to distinguish between the characters "哨/shao" and "臊/sao."

However, it is important to note that the name "Cui shao" has already been widely accepted by the local people.
