Filipino Food

Filipino food, Mexican food, Italian food, Chinese food, food. The thoughts in your mind of all the different types of culture food out there. Good, sweet, savoring food. Man isn't it nice? The taste of it, the way your mouth waters when you smell and crave it. It's like we can all die happy with the thought of these to-die-for food.

But does the look ever disturb you?

"Why is there a roasted pig laying on the table?!"

"Chocolate meat...wait what?"

"OHMYGOD...chicken feet?"

Lechon Baboy

Yeah, so I have a few friends who look at Filipino food as bizarre, but to me and to a couple other Filipinos it just mm mm goodness! I mean come on now, I get it you're not used to see a pig laying on the table as part of the food being serve. But that's how we Filipino's feast at special occasions. Lechon Baboy, it's just roasted pork. You dip it in sauce called lechon sauce and serve it with rice, man it is just so damn good. You should try it, before you even assume it isn't good at all.

Dinuguan

Chocolate meat?Oh you know beef, pork, chicken all dipped in milk chocolate just like strawberries...NO. We call this dinuguan. I am not a fan of dinuguan due to the fact I couldn't face what it was really made of, and if you know what dinuguan really means then you will most definitely be disgusted by the English translation of it. Well dinuguan is pork blood stew. It's not red when they prepare it, but it got the name chocolate meat because of the way it looked like meat floating in some kind of chocolate. But the last time I remember having it, it was sarap (delicious) Not that I eat it anymore, but if you're willing to, you should try it at the local Filipino food places such as Tita's Kitchen, Conching, or Goldilocks.

Halo-Halo

I know some of our cultural food might be funny looking, but if you were to see halo-halo (ha/low-ha/low) man you would be in heaven by now.

I may not love all the type of Filipino food we have, but we do have food that may be bizarre to other people not familiar with the Filipino food types. I too, am unfamiliar with other culture food such as Indian and Thai food, but I always love to try something new. You just got to be careful with what you try, it may not be too good and upset your stomach.

Next thing you know, you'll be having a date with the toilet ..if you know what I mean.
