Lechon is often served during special occasions such as weddings, birthdays, and fiestas. It is best eaten with a dipping sauce made of vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, and chili.

== Dining Customs and Etiquette ==
=== Exercises and Practice Scenarios ===


Cebuanos value the act of sharing food with others. When eating with others, it is customary to share dishes and offer others to taste the food that you are eating. Unlike in other cultures, it is not unusual for Cebuanos to use their bare hands when eating, especially when eating rice or any dish that requires one to scoop the food with their hands. However, when eating in a formal setting, utensils are used.  
Now that you have learned a lot about Cebuano food and dining, it's time to put your knowledge into practice! Below are 10 exercises designed to reinforce what you've learned.


When dining with elders or those who have higher social status, it is important to wait for them to start eating before you begin. It is also customary to offer the first portion of rice or dish to the eldest member of the group as a sign of respect.
==== Exercise 1: Vocabulary Matching ====


In a formal setting such as a restaurant, it is customary to leave a small amount of food on one's plate to show that the food was abundant and the guest was satisfied. It is also customary to leave a small amount of drink on the glass to show that the guest was not thirsty.
Match the Cebuano words with their correct English translations.


When dining with others, it is polite to always offer a serving of rice to anyone who needs it. Chewing with an open mouth or making loud noises while eating are considered impolite. It is also important to use a handkerchief or tissue when wiping one's mouth rather than using one's sleeve.
