Why we should eat more wild pigs than high breed or commercial pigs?

Wild Boar

Stewed with vinegar and salt
Tapa


Steak


Here's my most favorite foods came from meat of the wild boar. Some of my research says that we should eat more wild pigs today because wild boars is A free-range animal grazing on a wide variety of forge-able food gets more muscle-enhancing movement, which generates a deeper, more flavorful meat than an animal confined and raised solely on grain; and there are no antibiotics or hormone supplements to worry about with wild animals. But taking advantage of the wild pigs as food is not acceptable and impossible nowadays here in Philippines. Because wild boar are now endangered animal.


But let me share about the taste and the experienced that I have when my father still hunting wild pigs. The meat of wild boar is so delicious unlikely from the meat of a native pig or high-breed pig. The taste of a meat came from wild boar is doesn't have any fats, but still its delicious. 

Street Food Grilled Chicken Head (Ulo ng Manok)

Grilled Chicken Head (Ulo ng Manok)

Street foods are food available from a street side vendor, often from a makeshift or portable stall. While some street foods are regional, many are not, having spread beyond their region of origin. One of the tasty street foods is the Ulo ng manok or sometimes called as "helmet". Many said that the delicious part of the head to be eaten is the brain. because its so "malasa". But most of the people don't like to eat this part of the chicken.
But maybe it just depends to the person who like or dislike this type of food,.. but for me it is delicious and you have to try it. So that you'll know what it taste like.

Heared about "Nilagpang or Lingapang"?

Lingapang or Nilagpang
One of my papa and uncles favorite pulotan is Nilagpang na haluan/dalag (snakehead). Nilagpang also similar to Cebuano is Tinuwa  and to Tagalog Pesa. I don't even know if  Nilagpang word is came from Cebuano or Ilonggo language, all I know that its pretty good dish. The fish used for cooking nilagpang iis not just a haluan (snakehead), other fish will be okey in cooking nilagpang. It can be tilapia, turagsoy (mudfish), it can be also a grilled chicken.  

The first time I heard about the word nilagpang na turagsoy is from the song of Max Surban titled "Turagsoy".  


Do comment for the recipe. thanks

Crispy Kangkong Leaves






Crispy Kangkong Leaves

This kangkong recipe is very much like your typical vegetable tempura, where you coat the vegetable in a very light batter and deep fried until crisp and golden brown.The Kangkong gets to be crispy once fried and the texture is just like eating chips - kinda makes you forget you're eating a vegetable. And it is delicious when to serve hot and have a side sauce with mayonnaise. It can serve also as pulutan and as a snack.

Lechon

Lechón 



Is a dish features a whole roasted pig cooked over charcoal. Additionally, it is a national dish of the Philippines. According to my research The word lechón is originated from the Spanish term lechón, referring to a suckling pig that is roasted. Lechón is a popular food in the Philippines, Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, North Sulawesi province of Indonesia, other Spanish-speaking nations in Latin America, and Spain. But nowadays the original use of a suckling pig has given way to a medium-sized adult pig.

In most regions especially here in philippines, lechón is prepared throughout the year for any special occasion, during festivals, and holidays. The best and delicious part to be eaten in lechon for me is in belly part. and the skin of it.
