“What is the authentic Sisig?”, you might be wondering. Considered as the Culinary Capital of the Philippines, Pampanga is where Sisig actually originated from. The authentic Sisig that we know now came about as people can get pig heads either for free or a cheap price from commissaries during the American occupation since US Air Force personnel was said to have no use for them. With an abundant source of pig heads, Pampanga then found a way to make use of them by scraping them out, boiling them, grilling them, and then making them into the drool-worthy Sisig that we know now. Amazing, isn’t it?
