What makes a "begukan" a begukan (binagoongan) ?-kapampangan dish The looks of a begukan may be so enticing and mouth-watering but a begukan, as far as the way it was conceived by our ancestors is a combination of the salty taste of the baguk(bagoong,permented shrimp) while the pork is boiled with a vinegar. Begukan is basically a "preserved" food in the early days, thus the use of baguk and vinegar were not just for its taste but for a longer shelf life.
