Decadence is a relative term. When I chose this theme, I thought of those dishes that traditionally were only cooked for special occasions, festivals, fiestas, etc. I thought about the stews and desserts that are either so complicated or required skills or equipment that only a handful of people in the
barrio possessed. I thought of the delicacies whose recipes have remained unknown until the new generation knocked on history's doorstep and requested to be taught. I thought of foods that awaken the adventurers in us and be inspired.
Food that has a special place in our bellies with their richness that no amount of substitution can replace - that, to me, is the ultimate meaning of decadence. Who knew blood, intestines, belly, and tripe would fall under this category? Well, together they can!!
Dinuguan, anyone??
In Kapampangan, dinuguan is called
tidtad - loosely translated as 'chopped'. I think my vegetarian friends might
just pass on this...

ooh dinuguan... this is one dish that i seldom cook but would love to have a bowl whenever i see it. now you're making me hungry... and oh yes, i want those intestines and the belly fat please? haha!
I am not a meat-eater anymore, but when I was, I prided myself on trying anything! I'm sorry I didn't run across dinuguan when I ate meat :-)
Like Skip to Malou, I LOVE dinuguan and will have it whenever it is served, but never have attempted to cook it. Who knows, maybe one day I will have the guts to do so...like Sans Rival :)
another dish that my grandma used to make, and haven't eaten since. good stuff!
Yummy! Will be posting my Kulinarya entry on Friday..:) I really love dinuguan, and I don't know why, but it's really so masarap!
Much ♥,

YES to diniguan and puto!

Dinuguan and puto? Exceptionally decadent. Dunk the sweet rice cake in the thick pool of savory pork blood stew and I'm in heaven. Thank you, Lala for the Saveur vote. I'm so excited that Filipino food is finally getting noticed more and more. Thanks to you and Filipino food bloggers all around the world, we're taking our food to the mainstream one bowl of dinuguan at a time!
Omg I don't you made dinuguan! It looks wonderful.
I've been here so many times waiting for the recipe and the Part II, LOL.
I even bought banana leaves yesterday.
