Tidtad, Dinuguan Kapampangan

Tidtad, Dinuguan Kapampangan. If you like the Dinuguan of Rasons or Teresitas, soupy with cubes of blood, then you are a Kapampangan or you already know that it is called Tidtad, Dinuguan Kapampangan.

To my readers that are not into pig blood, I would like you to skip this post, please check my other recipes on the archives.

Today I would like to share my take of Tidtad, Dinuguan Kapampangan. This is my own version I am not saying that it is how it should be cooked. Similar to other Dinuguan recipes, there are countless versions of Dinuguan out there, each version depends on locality, personal preference and availability of ingredients, ect.

I am lucky that my favourite supermarket, the South Supermarket Filinvest Alabang branch regularly give away fresh pork blood. It is a first come first served basis therefor I have to be at the supermarket early. I am sure that the fresh blood from my supermarket is way cleaner compared to the one’s offered at public wet markets.

I am not going to write about Tidtad, Dinuguan Kapampangan, instead with this post I have included below a video about Tidtad, Dinuguan Kapampangan. The video is from GMA’s Saksi Midnight Express.
