    It was 1989 when I first saw those poor tiny piggies roasting at Kamayan restaurant in Manila. Going to an expensive restaurant in the capital was also my first time so the sight of it shocked me as I haven't even heard of such
    "horrible" :tinfoil: act of snatching these little ones from their mother's teats in my barangay.
    It's obvious why the locals would modify it by roasting a three-month old(or older)--quantity.:giggles:

    Each time I watch Filipino around the Lechon Table it reminds me of this clip from the Croods cartoon Movie :roflmao: ROFLMAO!!



    I now ask the sellers (before I go to view the Pig) if they;
    A: Feed it Pigrolac
    B: Feed it only organic feed (The WINNER)

    If they are very poor, normally it means they can only afford to feed the Pig organic feed such as old fruits, vegetables and vines etc. For me I think this is the tastier meat to buy, has less fat and is not pumped full of antibiotics and other hormone drugs, so win-win for your health. :thumbsup:

    Thank you for that! Now known as "The Lechon Table Clip" from the Croods movie, it is implanted deep in memory, but will forever surface at future festivities!

    If that were true, then lechon manok would be roast suckling pig chicken :angelic:. Lechon is just a method of cooking/roasting. You can have lechon manok, lechon baboy, lechon kanding or even lechon ero (but I have not seen that one). When it comes to lechon baboy I have seen all sizes of pig from 20kg (about the smallest to bother with) up to 55kg (if there are a lot to feed and the price is right) So may I ask where you got the idea that lechon refers to "suckling" pig?

    Just to keep everyone properly informed:
    Literally translated, lechon de leche is a suckling pig, or one that is literally living solely off the milk of its mother
