On our journey to discover the food of the Philippines, there is no better place to start than the highlands of Ifugao, in the North of Luzon. In this episode, I invited my friend KC, a proud Igorot to talk about inlagim, the Ifugao version of pinikpikan. We talk about Igorot wedding festivities and how community and sharing is at the center of any large Igorot fiesta. We discuss how a single glass of strong bayah rice wine can knock one out cold, and the importance of farm to market roads in transporting produce from Ifugao and the rest of the Cordilleras to Metro Manila. If you are curious as to why Ifugao food is bland, or why Igorot farmers are being sent to Israel to study agriculture, go on this journey with us as we discover Ifugao: inviting, beguiling, fascinating!
