Filipino wedding food: lechon!
Wednesday, July 15th, 2009
Easily one of the most popular food in Filipino weddings is lechon, or roasted suckling pig. We normally serve it on big occasions like fiestas, birthdays, anniversaries, parties and of course, weddings. The lechon might be roasted pig (baboy) or roasted calf (baka). The latter is more expensive, but any which way, they’re gooood!
It’s no surprise then that a Filipino wedding won’t be complete without lechon. Usually the server or waiter cuts it up into pieces and piles the pieces up unto the guests’ plate, on demand. The meat may be served with lechon sauce, but in the case of the increasingly popular Cebu lechon, no sauce is needed.
