SOLANO, Nueva Vizcaya The "longest and biggest fever" catches on. This time, its this Nueva Vizcaya town which is eyeing a Guinness feat by churning out the longest tupig.
Tupig is made of glutinous rice known in Iluko as diket. With sugar, the milled diket is flavored with semi-pulverized peanuts and corn or any desired flavor, and wrapped in banana or coconut leaves. It is then grilled for at least five minutes.
A kilo of flavored diket can produce at least 100 pieces of banana or coconut leaf-wrapped tupig, one of the Ilocanos favorite delicacies.
Councilor Regie Valino-Valdez, who chairs the municipal tourism council, said at least 10 tupig flavors will be unveiled during the towns fiesta celebration in May.
