There are several [[Lao sausage]] types, but the most popular are [[sai ua]] and [[sai gork]] that have a unique taste and are different from most sausages found internationally. Sai oua is an ancient Lao word that literally combines sai (intestine) with ua (stuffed). It originated from Luang Prabang, an ancient royal capital of the former [[Lan Xang]] kingdom (1353–1707) located in Northern Laos.<ref>{{cite book |last=Massie |first=Victor-Alphonse |url=https://archive.org/details/DictionnaireFranais-laotien_546/mode/1up?view=theater |title=Dictionnaire français-laotien: Mission Pavie, exploration de l' indochine (Latin characters) |year=1894|page=108}}</ref> Sai ua moo (Lao sausage made with pork meat) was listed among a collection of hand-written recipes from [[Phia Sing]] (1898–1967), the king's personal chef and master of ceremonies.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.seasite.niu.edu/lao/otherTopics/foods/recipe12.htm|title=Lao Reci-pes|website=www.seasite.niu.edu|access-date=15 July 2023|archive-date=31 May 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120531110928/http://www.seasite.niu.edu/lao/otherTopics/foods/recipe12.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref> Both sai ua and sai gork are some of the most popular traditional Lao dishes enjoyed by Lao people not only in Laos<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://laostravel.com/laotian-food/|title=Laotian food - 15 Famous Dishes You Must Try When Travel in Laos|website=Laos Travel|date=November 4, 2015|access-date=July 15, 2023}}</ref> but also in countries where Lao people have migrated to.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/08/dining/lao-food-cuisine.html/|title=Once Obscured in the U.S., Lao Cooks Share and Celebrate Their Cuisine |first=Tejal|last=Rao|website=The New York Times|date=March 8, 2022|access-date=July 15, 2023}}</ref>
