Basically lechon was originally introduced as part of Spanish cuisine. It is a Spanish word for suckling pig. In Cebu, it connotes a whole roasted pig or lechon baboy. The process of lechon involves the whole pig/piglet being slowly roasted over charcoal. The younger and thicker the pig the tastier. This grueling method of roasting leaves a crispy skin and very moist meat inside. It is best served with a sauce.
