Tocino: The Filipino 'Bacon' at Isla Pilipina in Chicago

that's the ultimate breakfast food.... nope, as a filipino, i can assure you as well that there is no foie in the tocino... (half of the filipinos would not even know what that word means.)...

Grilling: Longanisa

I'm glad you like our food. Longanisa is an all time fave of mine as well (and yeah, I'm Filipino). The best ones come from Pampanga, Philippines. Anyways, I've tried making them here in the U.S., but don't know where to get the pork casings. Without them, I just wrap it up in wax paper, and fry 'em skinless... it's also good that way... :o)... I'd have to try the grilled ones.

Your longanisa really looks good, and they're grilled! It goes well with vinegar and thinly sliced chiles and a sprinkling of rock salt. A couple of cups of steaming hot white fragrant rice will set me back 2 hours in the treadmill my friend.

@josh: Pork casings really make it authentic, sealing juices in. Beware also of Filipinos telling you their region makes the best longganisa. Like European sausages, every region makes their own.

I live in the Philippines, but I like how non-Filipinos are discovering food. I am also not averse to other cuisine. This is my first post, by the way. Josh's article made me join serious eats.

@Jescel: You should ask your butcher for pork casings, most have them or can order them for you. Alternatively, you can always buy them online.
