Understanding Filipino food culture through the eyes of a foreigner | via FnBReport
Filipinos love their food. And I believe, there are two reasons why: the food itself and how they enjoy eating it with other people. How food plays such an integral role in bringing the whole family together is something that I have been privileged to experience, being married to a Filipina and having resided in Manila for five years now and counting. However, as I go deeper into studying people’s dining activities, I also find that the beautiful strong traditions are starting to crack too.
For one, there is a lack of care on daily meals. We notice that during the weekly grind, the average Filipino doesn’t really put much thought on what they eat. They just need something to fill the tummy with. The unli rice phenomenon where people eat more because it is free rather than appreciating what they are eating puts truth to my claim. The carinderias who fight to get their ulam down to a price of P40 start using fat cubes rather than pork in their dishes.
