What is the name of the dish?

Quote:
In Indonesia pig roast is called babi guling, babi panggang or babi bakar and it is rarely found since Indonesia is a muslim majority country, except in non-muslim majority provinces, such as Hindu Bali and Christian Batak lands in North Sumatra, Minahasa people of North Sulawesi, Toraja in South Sulawesi, Papua, and also among Chinese Indonesians. In Bali babi guling usually served with lawar and steamed rice, it is popular dish in Balinese restaurant and warungs.[SIZE=2][9][/SIZE] In Batak people tradition, babi guling is a prerequisite in wedding offering for the bride family. In Papua pigs and yams is roasted in heated stones filled in the hole dug on the ground and covered with leaves, this cooking method is called bakar batu (burning the stone), and it is an important cultural and social event among Papuan people
Who cares? Lechon is just a name. People all over the world eat roasted pig. Chinese and Polynesians eat it too. It doesnt make Filipinos more Spanish.

Who cares? at least I know the history of the food I eat and at least I know where I can go in
Indonesia at which area we can eat roasted pigs because majority are muslim so obviously not everyone eat pork.
Yes Malaysians and Indonesians are our brothers and sisters in looks but our culture is very similar to Latin Americans. We may have similarities with Malaysians and Indonesians too since they are our ancestors as well but we cannot deny the similarities that we also have with Latin Americans.
Yes we are similar to Malaysians and Indonesians but is the majority of the Filipinos Muslim as Indonesians and Malaysians ?
Do we also have foods using a lot of curry paste and a lot of galangal root ? Are Filipino foods spicy ?
Filipinos are always basing everything on looks and geography and omitting culture. Same culture that was shared by Spain to all its colonies. You might have also forgotten that Mexico governed the Philippines for 250 years and there were many Mexicans who came to the Philippines and Filipinos to Mexico because of the galleon trade. It's normal that during 2 centuries, these 2 countries exchanged cultures with one another.
These are some things that Spain shared to the Philippines and Latin America
Religion
Spanish names and surnames
Spanish language ( Spanish was the official language before the arrival of Americans.. Though the modern Filipinos do not speak Spanish but in the Visayas we use 6,000 Spanish words .
Town fiestas
Semana Santa activities ( procession and carrying of images ) with Mexico, they also have reenactment
Misa de gallo ( morning mass 9 days before Christmas --- Mexico
Filipino original clothes ( maria clara gown )
Food ( Caldereta, Mechado, Afritada, Menudo, Empanada, Embotido, Pastillas de Leche, Leche Flan, Yemas, Polvorones, Brazos, Barquillos, Bizcocho etc.
Our Pan de Sal and Pan de Leche was also introduced by the Spanish
I just found out Chicharon too, I always order Chicharon everytime I commute and travel from the bus back and forth in Manila & I don't even know that it was a dish again from Spain. Until I saw in a forum on sharing food dish from different countries when someone recognized it & they also have the same name.
In the Philippines, picadillo is a soupy dish traditionally made with ground beef and either potatoes or chayote. There are also drier versions of the dish. It is also called giniling, Filipino for ground meat. What Cubans call picadillo is known as Arroz a la Cubana to Filipinos. The Philippine version is similar to normal Latino picadillo usually made with raisins, tomato sauce and diced potatoes added, but without green olives and capers, and is often served with white rice, fried plantains (maduros in Spanish, saging na saba in Filipino) on the side, and a fried egg on top. Boiled eggs are also eaten with the dish
Have you seen Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations: Indonesia?
Indonesia has his favourite pork dish in the world and it looks like the Filipino pork lechon, just different herbs!

I particularly associated the big roasting pig thing as an Austronesian/Polynesian thing.

Spanish and Portuguese love eating ( Lechon ) too which is the roasted pig only that they particularly prefer the baby called Lechon de Leche.
Well, it is probably eaten everywhere but Filipinos are really crazy about it and has become a symbol of Philippines that every party won't be complete without a whole big roasted pig on the table.

Indeed, everyone enjoys a good roasted pig, well except maybe Jews and Muslims and some Hindus.
