Kai, unfortunately, I doubt you’ll ever make good longganisa without fat. The fat is what makes it taste good. I hate it thought when it’s almost 75% fat (chunks of fat!) and hardly any meat like my last Ilocos longganisa purchase from Vintar.

Would using extenders like breadcrumbs/soggy bread help keep lean meat soft, anyone?

Just a quick update about sausage casings. I saw some being sold in at Southmall at 400+ kg. just check the meat section.

hmmm fat is the essence of deliciousness….you should also try the small red colored longganisitas from sasmuan, pampanga….with cubes of sweet sumptous fat….awww i miss those

and don’t forget the chicharon there with a thick slab of fat and meat sold by the kilo

Was wondering if you use chicken instead of pork for longganiza, what type of fat do i need to use (no pork), can you buy chicken fat?

MM…if the crew has an order for lechon de leche next time, how about cleaning the PI from it and trying your hand at making Chinese sausages.

Maybe you’re doing something right….seems this batch of longganiza put you in a better mood than the “I told you so” first batch…. : )

I eagerly await the final version.
