    For those of you who are doubting Ms. Dedet’s lechon, just try it once please. I’m not really a big fan of lechon ‘cos most of the time it gets saltier and saltier, but Pepita’s lechon is different. And that crunchy skin? It stays that crunchy even hours after it was cooked. It’s been years since I’ve eaten it, but my God up to now it’s still my favorite. And it’s not even close.

      Bulacan lechon is still the best. I've been eating lechon all over Philippines even in Cebu. Bulakeños still make the best lechon including the sauce.

    Filipino food is super underrated
    Problem with our cuisine is that its heirloom recipe, you wont find good filipino food on commercial establishments
    The best are always serve at home
    If you ask a foreigner what their most memorable filipino food is
    Most probably than not it was serve by a mother in law or a friend or a grandma.

    Lechon is NOT Spanish. The name is Spanish. The dish is ancient to Austronesians (of which Filipinos are members of). Pigs were one of the original domesticated animals of Southeast Asia. The only similarity is that it is roasted over coals. The ingredients are different and are all native to Southeast Asia (like lemongrass, sour fruits, citrus leaves, black pepper, etc.). The most similar dishes to it are the native roasted pig dishes of places like Bali, Sulawesi, or the Pacific Islands (who are related to Filipinos).
    Similar to how Philippine Adobo, Tocino, Arroz Caldo, Cascaron, etc. despite the Spanish names, are also NOT Spanish. Dishes which literally got their names from some random Spanish guy in the past looking at them and saying: "Hey, those look like some of the dishes back home, let's call it that!".

      It's probably Spanish influenced though as Spanish influence on Filipino culture and food is quite evident along with the Chinese and others. But it's now Philippines own thing. I don't think people think of Spanish when they hear Lechon but a Filipino dish. At least in Asia.

    • @AngryKittens

      @@Xentradi97 I explicitly explained why it's not. There is nothing Spanish or Chinese about the Filipino lechon, which until just a few decades ago, wasn't even called "lechon [baboy]" except in the capital regions. In Visayan regions in the southern islands, for example, it was simply "inasal [na baboy]".
      Again, pigs are one of the PRE-COLONIAL domesticated animals of the Austronesian ancestors of Filipinos. They arrived to the islands along with our ancestors nearly 5000 years ago. Long before the Chinese learned how to build boats. Long before the Spanish arrived.
      And it's antiquity is evident in the fact that versions of the dish also exist in Austronesian cultures that were never influenced by the Spanish or the Chinese. Like the Babi Guling of Bali, the Puaka Tunu of Tonga, the Hotnon Babui of Guam. Even the Puaa Umu of Samoa, the Vuaka Vavi of Fiji, and the Kalua pig of Hawaii, which are cooked underground, are related. You can even see it linguistically Baboy (pig) = Babui (Chamorro) = Babi (Indonesian) = Vavi (Fijian).

      Wow, I've never heard of these it's really interesting. Just goes to show how shallow our understanding is of our own history before the kastila arrived. Our identity has always been so tied to poor filipinos colonized by the spanish, americans and japanese but maybe we should be looking more into who we were before they arrived. Do you have suggestions on books to read?

      @@mopixies4196 Unfortunately there is no single book that tackles this. I know what I know from reading hundreds of sources through the years, including, ironically, the early Spanish accounts of Filipino culture (which are actually really good snapshots of our pre-colonial cultures). Sources on the Austronesian migrations are more diffused as well, given that it encompasses not only Filipino culture, but also other Islander Southeast Asians, Micronesians, Polynesians, Island Melanesians, Malagasy, and Aboriginal Taiwanese, who are all our cousins.
      Depending on what you want to know, William Henry Scott's "Barangay: 16th-century Philippine Culture and Society" is a good starting place.
      I just find it sad that most Filipinos apparently do not seem to realize we also have a NATIVE culture. And we're not just a mix of "American, Spanish, Chinese, Indian, and Malay" like a lot of them have been taught in our substandard history classes in the past decades. The vast majority of our culture is indigenous Austronesian. From our languages, to our paddy-field farming, our ancestral crops and animals, our anito beliefs, the designs of our architecture (even the Spanish-era colonial houses incorporate native Austronesian elements), our clothes, our tattoos, our endangered sailing and boatbuilding traditions, and so on.

      @@AngryKittens I wonder if there are words in our languages that can be traced back to the Austranesian Cultures. I believe that language is a great indicators of the cultures that had came in contact with our ancestors. For example, there are a lot of Sanskrit in our native languages but there are little studies abt our connection with India. How did Ramayana bacame part of our native literature?

    Lechon may be Spanish but it is called Inasal in Cebu . And I don't think it is a Spanish classic but a Sugbuanon culinary masterpiece probably originating from migrating people from Indonesia as you can see it in Balinese cuisine.
