PINOY EXOTIC FOOD LECHON NA BUWAYA Instead of the traditional roasted pig (“lechon” in the vernacular), Filipino families may opt to have roasted crocodile, sans the apple in its mouth, as the main course for their traditional dinner on Christmas Eve this year. A crocodile farm in Rizal province is now offering “lechon buwaya” at reasonable prices. The Coral Agri-Venture Farm, Inc. (CAVFI) is the biggest commercial crocodile farm in the Philippines. It has 15,000 crocodiles in its Tanay, Rizal farm. Its main product is crocodile skin, which it exports to other countries. The company saw the potential in crocodile food industry and is now engaged in developing gourmet food products using crocodile meat. The CAVFI’s crocodile meat products under the brand Dundee are Croc Tocino, Croc Tapa, Croc Sausages, Croc Sisig, Croc Bicol Express and Crocodile Soup packed with Chinese medicinal herbs. The latest addition to their crocodile food product line is the exotic roasted crocodile. The crocodile’s succulent white meat has a distinctive flavor and aroma. It is low in fat, low in calories and high in protein. CAFVI claims the meat is good for the heart and lungs and is a natural aphrodisiac.
