Sounds good to me
But Jollibee will probably be my "easing in" to food in Pinas. First thing when I get there is to have about 5+ hours alone in Manila airport, so at some point I am going to get some food. Likely Jollibee, otherwise it'll be Maccie D'swhich is pretty sad to go round the world and the first thing you eat is a big mac
Unless, it is in the states
The sad thing when I was in Thailand on my second trip, I ended up eating exclusively at western places in the end, after none stop stomach cramps and heartburn from some of the local stuff. I went back to the old burgers and pizza's, and the old tourist favorite - club sandwhichAnd the place we will spend our first 3 days together is owned by a canadian man and his pinay wife, so I am expecting mainly western food, don't think I'll eat like a pinoy till I get to Barilli. And then I reckon Bukidnon will be prety much pinoy only food...

Actually, going fishing in Camiguin and eating it sounds like an excellent idea
Back to nature and something not done in Manchester (wouldn't want to eat anything out of the canal
)
By the way, Tawi, how many pesos does a pig cost in Pinas? Pretty sure I'm buying one for lechon, so was wonderingAlso, don't think I will kill it myself (not done so before so don't want to mess up with the blade) but I will probably help hold it down and disgust all my veggie facebook friends

i cant say that jollibee is that good,but for the money you cant complain!
theres no need to go native theres plenty decent food to eat where ever you are going,but it all depends what your gf will like to do.
i have to admit when i travel that far why just eat the same food i can here,without trying any of the local cuisine?i have learnt to do what my wife says!

I think in the modern age we are in, with global companies having their products in each and every country (Coca-Cola, nestle etc). It is getting more and more difficult to get "authentic" cuisine whilst travelling. However, food and culture are always evolving. Like the Spaniards influenced the food of the Philippines and the Chinese as well, now it is the turn of the McDonalds or the Pizza Hut companies to change the native food away from it's traditional routes. Now, the only bad thing I find in this, is that these companies sells type's of food which are terrible nutritionally speaking. So evolving down the path towards burgers and pizza's is pretty bad for a society
But then, a Pizza does taste awesome when done right

Thanks Tawi, I was thinking some smart @$$ pinoy would try and double the price to me
But, a 30kg pig would be good enough. Enough to feed a family, then a few San Miguels to top it off and I'm everyones best friend for a day

Didn't quite get as adventurous as I would have preferred! Mindanao can do that to a wannabe backpacker such as myself..
Still, not so bothered about eating yukky stuff...

Find a live, wild native chicken Northener. Let the chicken beside you for an hour. Play with it and then let it cook and serve in your table after an hour.
My husband can't do it. Maybe you can.

I'd have no problem doing that.. I think if you can't be prepared to kill an animal, go veggie!
