I have opened all the windows, and it still smells to high heaven, I am so sick, I am throwing up..at this strange stinky smell, oh I am so sick....

I have closed the lounge door, put lavender spray near the kitchen door, how is it she can cook in there, and not be sick from the smelly food.

Wow...that sure stinks...

You would think after 3 years I would get used to it, I will never get used to the stinky smells of the Filipino food....

I remember cooking Tuna Paksiw and Trev just didn't eat any of it, I felt so disheartened I decided I won't do it again. Sorry to hear this Pete but I feel for Gina, paksiw is just soooooooo delicious, we can't help craving for it. You should smell the fried dried fish, it's a whole lot better lol.

Isn't Paksiw just made from vinegar, garlic, onion and ginger?

The instructions on how to make it are on the ICI Chemicals home page, complete with hazard warnings, and how long to wear the gas mask & NBC suit.

Hi Pete,

I will suggest to use a limon juice or sampalok instead of vinegar so to avoid of that stink smells..... it really does work honestly.

Ate Juliet, when we love somebody eventhough we feel sick or the food smell stinks we will accept it because we know it makes them happy..

and I am sure Kuya Peter wont tell it to Ate Gina..:Erm::xxgrinning--00xx3:

Well the house is getting back to normal nice smelling lavender now, or Sandalwood, thank goodness, however, I still noted that Miss Gina has left the Paksiw as left overs in the kitchen, it does not smell now, but my goodness did it smell, I was wanting to be sick.

We have discussed her cooking many times, she admits, it stinks, but tells me its the vinegar, Datu Puti, she said, it was a special meal and that I should not upset her when eating it.

I commented on whether the fish were actually dead but she just replied

GAGU !

We are ok now, take care kapitid na Babae Kimmi, we are just setting off for the airport, and hopefully by 12.30pm, we are winging our way to Nice in the South of France, so take care everyone over this weekend,

Monte Carlo here we come !

Don't filipinos use the adage that 'the smellier it is, the tastier it is'? My lady swears that the stinkier the patis is, the better it tastes.. :NoNo:

The worst has to be squid and danggit (dried anchovies) fried together with a helping of fish sauce.. still I don't complain, such a great excuse to go out and player snooker down my club :D

When we come back form Palawan to Pangasinan Ligaya brings about 20 kilos of "deelies" small stinky dried fish which she can sell at a big enough profit to offset the excess baggage charge and also give out as pasalobong. Most of the Purok come by and purchase these, they love them but boy do they stink!!!:yikes::yikes:

Sorry Kimmi, I have told her that she must not under any circumstancs try to hide stinky dried fish in her luggage when she finally arrives next Saturday, my brother is senior customs officer and he warned her she could be locked up for bringing such food stuffs into the UK(hehehe) she believed him I think so I am safe for a bit!!!

Well Chinese shops tend to stock lots of dried fish mostly vaccum sealed and im sure the Wifes bought some from Phill shops in london.

In scotland with a big population of chinese in glasgow im sure the bigger groceries stock it.
