Longganisa and Tocino

These are two of my favorite foods. Longganisa is a Philippine sausage like chorizo, flavored with indigenous spices. Longganisa making has a long tradition in the Philippines, with each region having its own specialty. I also like the hamonado which is just a little bit thinner than longganisa. Last week, a friend gave me 10 pieces and it really tastes good. These foods fits my lifestyle because they are easy to cook.

Tocino, on the other hand is a cured meat product and it is usually made out of pork and is similar to ham and bacon although beef is also used. It is often reddish in color and has a sweetish taste. These foods frequented my lunchbox during the good old days.
