The Lechon in our Culture

 

Since as long as we can remember, the lechon has been always there to brighten up every occasion or special event that we when into. In every festivity that we have gone through, there is always a lechon lying down on the table, ready to be eaten. But what are lechons anyway? And where did it start?

Among the many popular dishes here in the Philippines, the Philippine Lechon is considered to be the most popular among the Filipinos. The Philippine Lechon is a popular Filipino cuisine that is commonly reserved only for special occasion such as festivities or celebrations.

The name Lechon was derived from the Spanish word meaning suckling pig, which is a piglet that is killed between the ages of two to six weeks and traditionally roasted. And like the Philippine Lechon, it’s usually reserved for special occasions. But unlike a suckling pig, a Philippine Lechon is usually a whole adult roasted pig. Visit the In Lechon Philippine to get a taste of the Philippine lechon culture.

Though a Philippine Lechon is typically a whole roasted pig, Philippine Lechon also involves chicken or cattle aside. A typical process of Philippine Lechon involves the whole pig/piglet, chicken, or cattle/calf being slowly roasted over charcoal.

Philippine Lechon is usually cooked during national festivities (known as fiestas), the holiday season, and other special occasions such as weddings, graduations, birthdays and baptisms, or family get-togethers. A Philippine Lechon is commonly served with liver-based gravy or sometimes served Chinese style with steamed buns and a sweet plum sauce. Send a lechon to your loved ones back home with the help of In Lechon Philippine.

Philippine Lechon is usually the main highlight of festivities or other kinds of celebrations, and it is the most popular dish in the event. Other versions of a Philippine Lechon include the Philippine Lechon kawali which is cooked in a large frying pan and cooked to a crisp.

Leftover Philippine Lechon can be easily recycled into another delectable Filipino dish called Philippine Lechon paksiw. Philippine Lechon paksiw involves cooking left-over Philippine Lechon by boiling it in vinegar or gravy making the meat moist and the skin very soft. Visit the In Lechon Philippine to learn how to send some premium lechon to your loved ones back home.

Though a Philippine Lechon is popular among the Filipinos, finding a shop that sells this can be tough. The easies place to buy some Philippine Lechon in the Philippines is in La Loma Quezon City. But if you cannot get there, then you could always buy some Philippine Lechon then have it delivered on your door steps. And the best place for that is with Express Regalo.
