this is the day when they serve literally all parts of the pig .. sausages, ribs, legs… who said only we filipinos love it
the swiss too!!!

What great book recommendations! Thanks. Now I’ll have to finish reading my current stack of books so that I can work on a new one all about food!

Just a postscript on (and maybe a rationale for) this lively discussion on all things porcine—guess what our ancient ancestors, known as the Austronesians, took along as their baon in their trek from South China to Taiwan, RP and onward? Yup, pigs and red pottery, along with stone tools, maritime skills and agriculture. Our love affair with porkers is at least 6 thousand years old. Explains a lot, doesn’t it?
