Kilayin is a traditional Kapampangan dish made of either pork or beef meat stewed along with some of its innards in vinegar and spices. This awesome combination makes the dish sharp and tangy yet creamy and flavorful. To describe it briefly: it is a flamboyant festival of feisty flavors.
Kilayin should not be confused with kilawin, which is another Filipino dish where meat or fish are served raw with vinegar and other spices. –source: admiraladventures.weebly.com
