[ad]

Love these! Its great for breakfast and any other snacks you can think of Filipino style!! 🙂  Since my move back to California, I have not been able to find any Filipino store (oriental) besides driving to LA or Orange County.  I reside in San Bernardino County in the Inland Empire area. This is called the High Desert County! I went from the Lowcountry to the High Country…Am sure I will find some Filipino store/restaurant…this place has grown since the last time I went thru here..which was like over 20 years ago! LOL.. Hope you enjoy all the recipes that I’ve share with all of you and thanks again to Philippines Foods & Recipes 🙂

Longganisa is a native delicacy here in the Philippines. The seasonings vary depending on the regional origin. Lucban and Vigan longganisa are garlicky, for instance. Longganisa comes in various sizes as well. Some are made with beef or chicken instead of pork. Sweet or spicy, small or large, longganisa is a popular Filipino breakfast item.
