Tuslob Buwa is a famous “cook-it-yourself” dish which originated in Pasil and is now found in different places in Cebu. Tuslob Buwa is defined simply by how we, locals, call it. Tuslob buwa has only one main ingredient, which is the brain of the pig. I still can remember when my friends keep on talking about Tuslob Buwa and I got curious, so I asked one of my friends, “Unsa man gud nang Tuslob Buwa gud?”( What is really that Tuslo Buwa you are all talking about?). Then, he answered “Utok gud sa Baboy.” (Translation: It’s the brain of the pig.)
