Kadyos, baboy, kag langka

Kadyos, baboy, kag langka, commonly shortened to KBL, is a Filipino pork soup or stew that originates with the Hiligaynon people of the Western Visayas islands. The Hiligaynon name means pigeon peas, pork and jackfruit, which are the three main ingredients. The soup is traditionally soured with batuan fruit, though tamarind and other souring agents can stand in for it. Cooks add leafy greens such as young sweet potato leaves, cabbage or bok choy, with lemongrass, fish sauce, onions and long green chili peppers, and the pork is typically the hock. The pigeon peas give the dish a characteristic purple color. A close relative from the same people uses chicken and banana pith.
