Filipino Breakfast !!:))

[Terpe]

I'm a true 'foodie'
Sars, your food and recipes look absolutely heavenly

[andy222]

Good on yer Andy. Well done.
I can tell you there's absolutely no awful taste involved.

Everyone should try it at least once. As you say say cultural spirit.

Have the best time ever mate

Thank you Peter just finished packing, Cant wait to see my wife and stepdaughter.

Oh that looks yummy!
But does your neighbour comes out to find where the smell is coming from when you fry the dried squid of fish?
Mine did! Hahaha!

Mine would assume I'd just taken my trainers off.

Hi Terpe, Yes I like beef stew also, roast beef & yorkshire pudding, Lamb stew, tripe and onions with mashed potatoes, welsh rarebit, chicken curry with boiled rice, bacon & egg, french toast, boiled eggs, pork dripping on bread, salads, finnon haddock cooked in milk ect: I could go on forever. I think one of the reasons I wont eat food in the Philippines is because I have watched how the Lechon is prepared and thinking about the terrible way they kill the pigs, it's extremely cruel!!

[Terpe]

I know just where you're coming from Michael.
No offence intended my friend and I wasn't trying to wind you up at all.
Many of those foods you like also have a variation in the Philippines.

Have you ever tried empanada ?
It's a filled pastry. In many ways like a minature pasty. Just wonderful.
I'm confident you'd enjoy those.

Some years ago I undertook a consultancy assignment for a very major meat processor here in UK.
I won't go into all the details but I think you'd be shocked by what I discovered.

'Twiglets' are a wonderful Christmas treat Moy, do try them

nope dont like them..i would rather chippey or boy bawang mas lamian

[Michael Parnham]

You know Terpe, whilst living in the Philippines I lost 2 stone in the first three months, and that was the good thing and never lost or gained any more because as time went on I found a few more things that I liked. My problem with food in the Philippines was presentation and the fact that the food was sweet and savoury mixed together. Having said that, I did manage to meet my requirements apart from bread, had great difficulty finding savoury bread. The one and only meal that I really enjoyed was Shakeys chefs salad at Shakeys of course, it was presented nice and was the nearest thing to a good british salad!

[grahamw48]

I must admit that one of the main reasons I liked living in Angeles was the availability of Western food, due to the large expat population there. 'Proper' bread for instance. I bought or cooked more or less exactly what I'd eat back home. Bit of a cop out I know.

[joy_86jm]

Dont wish to offend anyone, but I couldn't eat any food that filipino's eat

Oh no dear :(

Looks yummy breakfast nothing beats pinoy meal eh.
haven't tried cooking fried fish yet, but I will defo find it in some asian stores here.
I visited 1 asian store in Leith, Edinburgh- and I found mega sardines, which is one of my fave
'ginisang sardinas' with hot rice yum yum..

[Arthur Little]

I lost 2 stone in the first three months,

Congratulations, Michael. And how refreshing to see an Imperial Weight mentioned ... since, all too often Weights & Measures are presented in continental, metrical terms, e.g., kgs, cms, etc.

thanks han, you better explore scotland coz they got fresh seafoods over there.

heres some more pics of my filipino breakfast...fried tilapia , rice and braised red cabbage ,sauteed sardines on top of rice, daing na bangus (milk fish) and special fried rice...love it specially during cold, wet miserable here in the uk

I think one of the reasons I wont eat food in the Philippines is because I have watched how the Lechon is prepared and thinking about the terrible way they kill the pigs, it's extremely cruel!!

you mean this one?? the lechon

No,we dont do lechon for breakfast, it takes a lot of time to cook it about 8hours approximately...what is the proper way to kill an animal anyway, ...will you just wait for them to die of old age before you eat them or natural causes

[chrisincebu]

Im afraid it will be sugarflakes and egg and bacon for me at breakfast time. I am going to have balut this time though as a matter of mixing in with the culture.

Tastes better than it sounds but best to have the lights off when you attempt it

[chrisincebu]

Tried to make corned beef (consilog) Pinoy Breakfast last time we visited UK. The UK corned beef brick just didn't hit the spot. Maybe the texture or because of the absence of MSG

[Rhose]

my husband loves the tinapa, fried rice and scramble egg for breakfast..at dinner time he's looking forward to a spicy adobong manok or spicy caldereta..yummy! that's the only thing I will hear from him while eating...

[mickcant]
