Longganisa

       Longganisa or the native sausage is one of the very popular Filipino foods. Different regions in the Philippines are known for their own version of longganisa, which originated from Spain centuries ago. As a former Spanish colony for 300 years, our country adopted Spanish cuisine and longganisa is one prepared food that's kept its popularity over the centuries.  The best go with it is fried egg and fried rice with hot coffee or chocolate.  This is one of the favorite of my sister longganisa every time she visited here in the province of Mindoro. She never missed to buy and have a breakfast meal with it on the table. She said that the longgainsa here are more appetizing, and there were also very unfamiliar taste that she only found in our local longganisa.
