WATWAT is a Kankanaey term which either means the traditional partaking of food for certain occassions like kanyaw, or it refers to the meat cooked and shared in the traditional way. It is a community affair. Everyone is invited. I was in Mankayan the past two days and you just smell WATWAT in the air! There were wakes and funerals, barangay affairs, and community meetings - there you find WATWAT, practically everyday, every meal. Honestly, I love WATWAT. From time to time, I would miss this IGOROT CUISINE. Other people who are not used to eating this way may wonder... Usually, a black native pig (now hybrid kadi) is killed, the blood is drained , then the hair is singed and the skin burnt. The pig is butchered, the bile is read, then cooked.
