Guinobatan Longganisa

A close friend had told me about the longganisa (local sausage) in Bicol, particularly the one from Guinobatan, Albay. The real deal was supposed to be 100% fatty and used intestines. The regular variant you can get at restaurants or eateries are usually a mix of fat and laman (meat). And then there's a special variant that's mostly meat and lean (not so fatty). As like other longganisa, these are fried and for the Guinobatan longganisa, to a crisp.

Guinobatan longganisa for brunch (longsilog)

We had our brunch at Dad's in Camalig, Albay. This was after a quick tour of Cagsawa in Daraga town where we had hoped to see Mayon Volcano in her full glory. This meal had to be one highlight, food-wise, of my recent travel to Legazpi. I thought that Guinobatan Longganisa quickly came up my rankings for longganisa. My only regret is that I couldn't bring some home as I didn't find ones that were packed, frozen and ready to take home.
