    It’s so cool how in Tagalog it’s ‘chicharon’ and in Spanish it’s ‘Chicharrón’. You can really see the Spanish Influence there. What a unique country and a unique blend of cultures 🇵🇭🙌🏻🙌🏻

    Where I come from we call it torresmo or pururuca. My family calls it pururuca, but pururuca is actually the method of making fat meat into crunchy tasty pieces of heaven. It goes great with feijoada (black beans, various types of pig meat and some spices)

    Is it bad that I would have tried it if I didn't know what it was?

    Like just like with tripitas and barbacoa. I would have enjoyed them until someone explained to me what they are

    I stopped eating pork and fatty food for over a year now. Chicharon and chicharon bulaklak were my favorite. Every fiesta, when we make lechon, my grandma used to make chicharon bulaklak too and we’d eat it as snack while we prep other food for the occasion. I miss it so much. That crunchy, salty, fatty deliciousness..ugh, now im tempted to eat it but no.

    In Louisiana we Cajuns call those cracklins! Just like on the bag in the video :3 (I think they’re the same, or at least similar – fried pork skins, but I’m sure we use different seasonings) I’m not a huge fan of the ones my family gets when we go back to visit but my parents love them!

    well kamayan doesn't necessarily have to be on banana leaves…it just makes the flavor of food better, i guess…and for esthetics, too.

    GOD I LOVE CHICHARON BULAKLAK
    theres a restaurant near my grandma's home we buy from everytime we go there, and they serve really good chicharon. when i first tried this i didnt know what it was and my parents and relatives didnt tell me either. it took me years to search it up, and when i first found out i was initially grossed out, but it was delicious so i couldnt resist hehe
