If I told you I was from the Philippines, a place that’s very family oriented with a very lively atmosphere and celebrations that could last for days, would you know where I was from? Where I’m from we eat Dinuguan, a dish that can be eaten at any occasion but can be a little bit of a daring dish for those who have yet to try it. Dinuguan is a dish that has pork blood and pork meat simmered together with a hint of spice. In simpler words it is basically pork blood stew. We usually eat this dish with white rice or with steamed cakes called puto. This is a dish for those who love meat, as it lacks many vegetables. I can always make sure to get the best tasting dinuguan at home, where my mom makes it almost every weekend. As weird as it sounds, as the blood and the meat is simmering, the smell is so delectable and it gives me the feeling of home. Dinuguan is a dish that I love to eat and though others are a little wary of trying it, I can assure you it’s a dish worth trying.
