Dinakdakan is an Ilocano dish of grilled pig’s face, ears, and offal, chopped finely and mixed with onions, chili, calamansi, and often pig’s brain for creaminess. Closely related to sisig, it notably predates the Pampanga dish and reflects Ilocano’s deeply resourceful, whole-animal cooking traditions distinctly.
