This old fascination has been revived as I continue my travels around the Philippines and the world in search of the best tasting longganisa.
For those who are clueless about longganisa, this is the spanish term for sausages. The Philippines, whose history bears 300 years of colonial rule under Spain, offers a variety of sausages; each having its own distinct taste which reflects the bounty of its source region or province. The love for longganisa has grown through through the centuries that it has become a staple in the breakfast table. Almost everywhere, you can find canteens, restaurants and fast food joints selling longsilog, which is short for longganisa-sinangag-itlog (or sausage, freid rice and fried egg).
Since an extensive and updated information source of longganisa around the Philippines has yet to be developed, I offer this humble site as a reference for your longganisa-related research and entertainment.
Every week, I will share with you new posts or updates which will hopefully satiate and further fuel your craving for longganisa.
Cheers,
Maia
