There’s no doubt about it, Dinuguan is one scary-looking dish. It’s all black with mysterious looking ingredients (because they’re covered in thick, black sauce). Also, learning that the sauce is pig’s blood grosses people out. But the reason Filipinos don’t mind its appearance is because the taste makes up for it. It has the perfect balance of savory, sweet, with a touch of tang. It’s rich, creamy, and perfect with starch like steamed rice or steamed rice cake aka puto.
