Notes

KBL is a popular Visayan dish that is widely consumed not just in Iloilo but
also in the rest of Panay and Negros islands. It’s basically a stew with pigeon
peas, pork chunks, and unripe jackfruit, hence the name KBL, which stands
for kadyos-baboy-langka. The dish is slightly sour, thanks to the souring
agent used all over the Visayas: batwan.
