Igado (or higado) is a Filipino pork dish originating from the Ilocos Region in the Philippines. [1] [2] Its name means "liver" in Spanish for which it features, although it may include other pork meats and offal also. [3] [4]
The pork―liver, meat, and offal―are sliced into tiny pieces and simmered with bell pepper and green peas, producing a dish often likened to the menudo. [1] Unlike menudo, igado typically uses soy sauce (or patis) and vinegar rather than tomato sauce. Also, potatoes and carrots are optional. [5]
The dish was a favorite of Elpidio Quirino, an Ilocano, and sixth president of the Philippines. [6]

Kapampangan cuisine differed noticeably from that of other groups in the Philippines. The Kapampangan kitchen is the biggest and most widely used room in the traditional Kapampangan household. When the Philippines was under Spanish rule, Spanish friars and sailors taught Kapampangans the basics of Spanish cooking. The Kapampangans were able to produce a unique blend that surprised the Spanish palate. Soon Spanish friars and government officials were entertaining foreign guests at the expense of Kapampangan households. In the late 18th century, the Arnedo clan of Apalit were commissioned by the colonial government to entertain foreign dignitaries that included a Cambodian prince and a Russian archduke. Kapampangans were given the task of creating the meal and menu that was served in the proclamation of the First Philippine Republic in Malolos, Bulacan.

Inihaw is also commonly referred to as Filipino barbecue or (informally) Pinoy BBQ.

The name originates from Spanish asado ("grilled"), a reference to the original dish it was applied to, the Chinese-Filipino version of char siu barbecues usually known as pork asado.

Unlike the Chinese-derived version, they are savory rather than sweet.
