Dinuguan Ingredients
Pork blood — the main ingredient.
Vinegar, ginger, garlic, onion, oil,
black pepper, salt, green chili pepper —
the minute support for every cooking.
Pork intestine, pork liver, pork meat —
the protein needed to call it food.
Water — an ingredient that need not be listed,
but is still essential for stews.
Knorr pork cube, patis,
for when the taste is still not enough.
And lastly, grandmother’s love —
it is her cooking that made me fall in love with food,
and her home-cooked meals that
make me feel at home.
Oh, how I wish I could still taste
and smell her homemade meals.
Oh, how I wish I could still hear her voice
as she hands me a portion fit for a king.
