CHOLESTEROL FREE LECHON


(FOR MORE PICS CLICK ON THE IMAGE)

Many Filipinos' celebrations are not complete without the National Food...LECHON. Lechon or Roasted Pig is the number one delicacy here in the Philippines. Most of my foreign friends back in the call center days say that it should not be patronized by us because we are a nation prone to have high blood pressure and heart ailments. Hehe... Tell that to the marines. People here just can't get the hang of it. From birthdays to weddings to parties, there is always a lechon. Gone were the days when having lechon in the table denotes that the family is well off. Almost everybody can go to the nearest lechonero and order. How much it costs will depend on how big or small your live pig is. The last celebration we had lechon and it cost P 4900.00 pesos, that's about a hundred US dollars only. You can have a cheaper one but it will certainly not go down P 2000.00, which is just Lechon de Leche, or a small suckling pig.

Anyway, I went to the bakery one time and I was really amazed they have the Lechon Bread. It is BREAD shaped like lechon. I laughed upon seeing the bread. And it costs only P 30.00, or less than a dollar. haha...So anyway, if you have problems with high blood or cholesterol, then do not buy the Lechon, buy the Lechon Bread instead...Merry Christmas everyone...
