Anthony Bourdain once.said on his shows, "best pig ever".
Lechòn.
Or whole pig roastes over charcoal.
Originally, suckling pig is being used as the Spanish term.lechòn came from.
In some.Latin American countries, lechòn is popular.
Here, it has always been a dish that is prepared when family is complete.
We hire.someone roast it for us.
And the pig is the free range ones. Quite smaller but it is tastier. Just enough for small.gatherings.
But wait there is more, any left over from lechon can be "remake" as "lechòn paksiw".
Have you ever tasted lechòn?

P.S. @MGjhaud here it is.

They don't roast it alive and it is no different than eating a pork chop it seems to me. But my daughter is a vegetarian and disagrees with me.

I was never really a big fan of Lechon, I only like the part near the ribs, because that's where all the spices are placed and that's the part that really tastes the most. Also the skin. My second fave is Lechon Manok. Anyone ever tried Liempo? That is.. urgh.. so goooood.

That I agree so much. If you guys think Lechon taste good, you should try Lechon Paksiw. It'll blow your mind.
