This time, it’ll be a giant longganisa

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — The list just keeps growing: Marikina’s giant shoes, Ilagan’s giant butaka (armchair), Dagupan’s longest grill and recently, Angeles City’s giant sisig.

This time, it will be this Pampanga city’s longest longganisa.

City administrator Joey de Leon said they are now finalizing plans to make the longest longganisa in the world, something they hope would earn Guinness record.

Lolita Hizon, owner of Pampanga’s Best, a meat processing company, will sponsor the record-breaking feat of making a longganisa with a length of 1,000 meters — a kilometer — or more.

Organizers hope the longganisa would stretch from Essel Supermarket on Consunji street in Barangay Sto. Rosario all the way to MacArthur Highway in Barangay Sta. Teresita.

Last May 18, Angeles City celebrated its first-ever Sisig Festival, highlighting it with a giant sizzling plate of sisig. The 16 x 32 feet plate was made of 16 pieces of 4 x 8 feet iron sheets shaped into an oversized sizzling plate.

What went into the sizzling plate were 600 kilos of sisig consisting of 240 kilos of pork cheeks and ears, 120 kilos each of chicken liver and pork pigue, plus 40 liters of soy sauce, 4,000 pieces of calamansi, 400 pieces of chilis and 20 kilos of onions for the sauce.
