Sisig (Philippines)
Sisig is a popular Philippine dish made by boiling, chopping and grilling parts of a pig's head, such as the ears, cheeks, and jowl, and then flavored with salt, pepper, and vinegar. Meat is combined with fried onions, sili and chicken livers, and the whole mixture is traditionally stuffed with raw eggs.
Some cooks like to add mayonnaise or pork paste to the dish for extra flavor. Initially, sisig did not have meat in it, and at first Fr. It was defined by the Kapampangan dictionary of 1732 as a salad consisting of guava or green papaya.
It is believed that the name of the dish comes from the word sisigan, which means to make sour. It was used as an early remedy for nausea and hangovers because its sour taste was considered an anti-vomiting, and so today sisig is almost always paired with an ice-cold beer on the side.
What began as a simple sour salad has crossed land and sea to become one of the favorite dishes of beer drinkers worldwide.
