Those were said to be fed by corn, oats and beer. And they were confined to a limited space, for little movement. I dont know how to describe the taste but it was really good. Marketman, I'd ask my folks as how it is possible to send some black piggies to Cebu. I know we used to get some pink piggies from Cebu but doing it the other way around it something new (I think!). If only I do frequently visit the farm, I would invite you to roam around and observe how they do it. But I havent even checked it out it, I just wait for the good looking, great tasting lechon & conchinillo to feast on. hehehe.

Anyway, has anyone ever tried lechón/cochinillo/suckling pig Peking Duck style? Had this once at a catered dinner years ago and it was delicious. The lechón was prepared with a very young piglet as the skin was crisp & thin like a potato chip. ¡Se me hace la boca agua!

It has been a good forty years since I witnessed my dad bristling with indignation on the use of the word (or non-word) protectado. They might very well be abusage in the Spanish language but they seem to me quite legitimate Filipino. Only a handful of Filipinos I know now will get what is meant in Spanish by lechon and flan de leche and rather than risking dire miscommunication (disappointment, or worse hunger) pienso que mejor hablar el idioma del terruño. But sucking conjures Transylvanian images while suckling has that ever so slight suggestion of smallness and succulence, like dumpling or the German liebling.
