/let-SON/
FIL: Isang buong baboy na niluto sa ibabaw ng nagbabagang uling, dahan-dahang iniikot sa isang kawayan o metal na tuhugan hanggang sa maging malutong ang balat.
EN: roast pig; lechon
The undisputed king of any Filipino fiesta, Noche Buena, or major celebration. If you see a letson at a party, you know it's a legit blowout. The goal is to get the first crack at that crispy, glistening skin. The mere smell of it can cause traffic jams and unite warring family members. It's not just food; it's a cultural event.
From Spanish 'lechón' (suckling pig).
While 'lechón' in Spanish refers to a suckling pig, Filipino 'letson' can refer to a pig of any age. Also used for other roasted animals like 'letson manok' (roast chicken) or 'letson baka' (roast calf/cow). The spelling 'litson' is also very common.
🇵🇭 Walang tatalo sa malutong na balat ng bagong luto na letson.
🇺🇸 Nothing beats the crispy skin of a newly cooked roast pig.
