As far as I know lechon and adobo were Spanish in origin.
Logically it would be fish, fresh, grilled, dried or smoked or however they preferred it.
And root crops, fruits and vegetables, fresh or boiled or preserved, I guess.
most of them are fresh fruits and vegetables , native chicken . fresh fish from ponds , native cakes.domestic fowls and animals like pork . veal . corn , sweet potatoes , gabi . and many other root crops .
Dog, cat, cock roach, worms, grubs, duck and chicken embryos, fish heads, pig heads, chicken heads, chicken intestines, chicken feet, ihi and ebak soup.
Pretty much the same as today.
Fresh fruit, veggies fish & any animals they could catch
